Launch Promotion

Get a Free Master!

To celebrate the launch of my new online Mastering service, I am offering a limited amount of completely free masters to independent artists worldwide.

No watermarks, and no financial risk.

The Deal

I will master one track for you completely free. There are no hidden fees, credit card requirements, or contracts. You share/upload your stereo file track link, I run it through my premium analog gear, and I send you back a completed, high-resolution master file to keep.

All I request is permission to use a short snippet of the unmastered/mastered track on my website including a short review.

This will greatly assist in building up my online Mastering portfolio and my hope is you love it so much, as do your fan base worldwide, that you return for your next track, EP or album.

Your Music Is Secure

I respect your intellectual property. All submissions are held to a strict confidentiality standard. Your unreleased tracks, mixes, and personal data will never be shared, sold, or distributed. For your complete peace of mind, no audio links or project details will ever be made public without your explicit, prior sign-off.

My Promise To You

I too am a musician and artist. I understand the heart, passion, and immense dedication it takes to write, compose, and record a track. My promise is to always respect the art that you have entrusted to my ears.

How to Prepare Your Mix Before Sending To Be Mastered

To give you the best possible master, I need a clean starting point. Before you export your stereo file from your DAW of choice, please run through this quick checklist:

  • Protect Your Headroom

    Please ensure your master output fader is not clipping (hitting the red). Aim for your loudest peaks to hit somewhere between -3 dB and -6 dBFS.

  • Clear the Master Bus

    Please remove any limiters or loudness maximizers from your master output channel before exporting. If you have a compressor on the master bus that is an essential part of your "mix glue," that’s totally fine - just let me know! (Note: Clean Master bus outputs with zero processing are highly preferred)

  • Leave the Trims to Me

    Don't fade out the ending or chop the very beginning of the audio file too tightly. Leave a full bar of silence at the beginning and 2 to 3 bars at the end. I will handle the clean fades.

The Ideal Export Settings

Please export your file as a WAV or AIFF (no MP3s). Keep the sample rate native to your project (e.g., 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz) and use a bit depth of 24-bit or 32-bit float.

What If My Mix Isn't Quite Ready?

Don't worry— I’ve got your back. Once I listen to your track for the first time, if I notice any technical issues, I will send you free feedback and suggestions on how to optimize your stereo file before I run it through our analog gear.

Terms Of Service

By participating in the free promo, you grant me permission to showcase a short, 30-second "Before/After" snippet of your track on our website portfolio including a short review. If your track is unreleased and you need us to hold off until release day, just let me know when you submit.

Ready To Rock N Roll?

Fill out this quick form below, drop a link to your pristine stereo mix, and let’s make your music glow. I look forward to working together with you and adding that “gloss” to your masterpiece.

Thanking you,

Gary
