Here at Shirty Mastering, our mastering work has been featured on reputable blogs, in music magazines and on the radio, and our enhanced mastering service is comprehensive – this means that we can share tips on how to improve your final mix before we even get to mastering!
An Overview of Mastering
Mastering is a science and an art.
But, we believe that mastering at its best is also a discussion between the artist and the mastering engineer.
We are here to help improve the sound of your music, and we will also help you to improve your music production / mixing skills at the same time!
We know that you have likely worked for weeks or months on your track, and there are things that you love about the mix and the sound – it is important that these are not lost in mastering, yet you also want to get the extra richness and loudness that mastering can bring.
When you work with us, we start a discussion to make sure that the result you get is the result you were aiming for.
Mastering – $60 per track
Our regular mastering service will make your track sound great (note: does not include feedback on your final mix)
Mastering With Mix Advice (Enhanced Mastering) – $80 per track
If you’re looking for a mastering service with extra “icing on top”, our “Mastering (With Mix Advice)” service shares our suggestions for how to improve your final mix, before we master your song.
Whichever Service You Choose, Two Masters Are Covered in the Price
We will make amendments and send you a second master, free of charge, if you feel that the first master that we create needs tweaks.
Our average turnaround time for masters is 24-48 hours.
Different Edits / Mixes
If you need different versions of your final mix to be mastered with the same mastering processing (for example, an instrumental version of your song) we charge $30 per iteration after the initial fee, above, is paid.
EDM & Dance Music Mastering
For electronic music, we provide two masters of each song. One is a dynamic master (which we recommend you upload to streaming services) and the other is an extra loud master (suitable for the large sound systems in nightclubs and at music festivals).
Album & EP Mastering
We can offer discounts for EPs and albums, just contact us before placing your order.
