Mastering

Professional Mastering

Mastering is the final polish: the step that makes your song sound finished next to everything else on the playlist. HVNLY Audio mastering takes your final mix and brings it to release-ready loudness, tone and width, without crushing the life out of it. Every master is done by ear on a track-by-track basis, with no one-click presets. We balance tone, tighten the low end, control dynamics and set loudness for streaming platforms, then check the result on multiple playback systems so it holds up on earbuds, car speakers and club rigs. Choose the tier that fits your release: - Aura Master: a clean, loud, balanced master for singles and demos. - Radiance Master: our most popular tier. More detailed tonal shaping, multiple loudness versions and extra revisions. - Eternal Master: the full release package with stem mastering, every format you need and priority turnaround. Pricing is per song. Upload after payment, track your order in your dashboard and download your final files when they are ready.

FAQ

What do I need to send you?

Send your final stereo mix as a 24-bit WAV file at the original sample rate. Leave about 3 to 6 dB of headroom (peaks around -6 dB) and do not use a limiter or any loudness maximizer on the master bus. Eternal also accepts up to 6 stems.

What is the difference between mixing and mastering?

Mixing balances all the individual tracks in your song. Mastering is the final step on the finished stereo mix, polishing tone and loudness so it sounds consistent and ready for release across platforms.

Which tier should I choose?

Aura suits singles and demos. Radiance is best for proper releases where you want multiple loudness versions and extra revisions. Eternal is for flagship releases, EPs and albums that need stem mastering and every format.

Will my song be loud?

Loud, but not crushed. We aim for competitive loudness while keeping punch and clarity. Radiance and Eternal include a louder club version in addition to the streaming-ready master.

How long does mastering take?

Aura takes 4 business days, Radiance 3 and Eternal 2. The clock starts when your payment clears and your file is verified. Rush Delivery is available as an add-on.

How do revisions work?

Each tier includes a set number of revision rounds. A round is one batch of notes sent together, such as "a bit brighter and slightly louder". Please send all notes at once. If the problem is in the mix itself, you may need a mix revision rather than a master revision.

Can you master an EP or album?

Yes. Book each song and use the EP / Album Bundle discount for 4 or more tracks. We match tone and loudness across the whole project so it plays as one body of work.

How do I pay and upload files?

Pay securely at checkout. Once payment is confirmed, the upload section opens in your dashboard so you can submit your mix. Files are scanned and delivered securely, and your final master will appear in your dashboard for download.
