What stereo mastering does
Stereo mastering is the final quality-control and enhancement stage for a finished mix. Tonal balance, dynamics, stereo image and translation are refined without changing the identity of the production.
What is included
- Personal review of the supplied mix
- Analog processing selected for the track
- Release-ready high-resolution master
- Streaming-ready delivery and technical quality control
- One direct point of contact from upload to delivery
Prepare the mix
Send the highest-resolution WAV or AIFF available. Leave the master bus free of limiting when possible and avoid clipping. A limited reference mix is welcome.
Work directly with Carlo Camera
Your references and feedback go directly to Carlo Camera at Solid Mastering in Bergamo, Italy. The service is available online worldwide: you do not need to attend the studio to discuss the sound you want.
How the online service works
- Choose stereo mastering or the appropriate stem package and complete your order.
- After payment is confirmed, upload your audio, a reference and your notes through the private order page.
- Carlo works on the master. Share your feedback for revisions, then receive the final files digitally.
Timing, revisions and delivery
Typical turnaround is 24–48 hours once the files and project information are complete. Larger projects and urgent deadlines are confirmed individually; this is not a guaranteed delivery slot.
Revisions are included to refine the agreed artistic direction. Send clear references and notes before work starts, and discuss any changes to the project scope directly with Carlo.
You receive the final master digitally. Tell Carlo your intended release format and any alternate-version requirements before work begins so the delivery can be agreed.
Listen before choosing mastering
Use the existing before/after comparisons to hear the mastering work, or explore released masters in the portfolio. These are mastering references, not demonstrations of a full mix or a particular stem package.
Try mastering on your own stereo mix
Upload one WAV or AIFF stereo mix for a free mastered preview. No card or account is required. This is a mastering sample, not a free full mix or stem-mastering session.
