Description
Music consists of several basic elements – strings, drums, guitar, brass, vocals, etc.
There can be several tracks for each instrument or vocals. They can be combined into one group called a stem. You need to prepare Drums, Bass, Accompaniment, Fx, Lead Vocal, and Background vocals stems. When the mastering engineer has several tracks, he can work with each of them separately, without affecting the rest. Stem mastering will allow you to refine the sound of your mix and will give you much better results than mastering a single track. So, in this case, an engineer has more abilities to fix some mistakes and improve the overall sound.
Of course, for the stem mastering process, you need an experienced mastering engineer. Our team provides professional stem mastering services. However, we would certainly recommend you fix any issues in the mixing stage, cause stem mastering still has limitations on fixing issues.

Mastering for Spotify- mastering according to the requirements of Spotify. Mostly it’s about volume. It helps your track to sound better on Spotify, because a regular master can be over compressed in some cases for this platform.
