FAQ
The questions that matter most for a better master.
Clear answers on file prep, compare playback, delivery, and how the default mastering styles differ.
What is online mastering?
Online mastering is a browser-based, automated way to take a finished mix, analyze it, shape the tone and dynamics, and deliver a more polished release-ready version without booking a traditional attended session.
What file should I upload for mastering?
Upload your best stereo mix with enough headroom and no clipping. This workflow accepts MP3, WAV, FLAC, AIFF, M4A, and AAC audio files, but a high-quality WAV or other lossless file will usually give the mastering chain more to work with.
Can I hear the master before I download it?
Yes. The player is built for synced A/B playback, so you can hear your original mix against the mastered version before choosing the final files.
Which formats do I receive?
The delivery flow is designed around a high-quality WAV master plus a 320 kbps MP3 for quick playback and sharing when the MP3 render is ready.
What is the difference between the preview families?
Modern is the broad default, Open gives more breathing room and depth, and Impact pushes density and punch harder. They are different finishing directions for the same mix.
Is this right for a finished mix?
Yes. Use it when your mix is finished and you want a polished, release-ready result. The compare flow helps you judge the change quickly, and the final WAV and MP3 delivery make it practical for release prep.
