FAQs

1. What do I need to send you to start working?
Please send:
• Your audio files exported in WAV (24bit), without limiting on the master
• Headroom: -6db or -3db
• The BPM and key of the track (if available)
• A short note about what you like or don’t like in the current mix
• Reference tracks (optional but helpful)

2. How long does a mix or master take?

Mastering usually takes 1–2 days.
Mixing can take 3–5 days, depending on the complexity of the project.
If you need a faster delivery, just let me know.


3. Do you offer revisions?

Yes.
I include two free revisions to make sure the final result matches your artistic vision.
Additional revisions are available if needed.


4. Can you work with stems or only stereo files?

I can work with both.
• Stereo mastering (single WAV file)
• Stem mastering (grouped stems)
• Full multitrack mixing

Just choose the option that fits your project.


5. Can you match the loudness of commercial releases?

Yes.
I can master your track to modern loudness standards (streaming, club, or CD),
or maintain more dynamics if you prefer a cleaner, open sound.


6. What genres do you work with?

I specialise in:
• Eurobeat
• Dance / Hi-NRG
• Eurodance
• Italo / Pop
• Synth-based music

But I can work on any genre that benefits from clarity, punch, and energy.


7. Do you also work on non-electronic music genres?

Yes. While my main background is in electronic music, I also provide professional mixing and mastering for non-electronic genres.
Selected demonstration examples are available upon private request.

You can use:
• WeTransfer
• Google Drive
• Dropbox
• Your preferred cloud service

Just share the download link in the email.

For long or complex projects, a 50% deposit is possible.


10. Can you fix problems in my mix?

Yes.
During mastering I can correct many issues (low-end muddiness, harshness, balance).
If the mix needs deeper work, I will recommend doing a stem master or a full mix.


11. Will I get the master in different formats?

Yes.
You will receive:
• WAV 24bit
