Master Your Mix Online in Minutes Through Real High-End Analog Gear
Upload a finished mix and choose a style. Your track gets its tonal balance EQ, is processed through our high-end outboard analog chain, then gets its final stereo and loudness. Listen back against your mix and download a release-ready master.
Listen back
Click the waveform to jump. Switch between your mix and the master while it plays.
Match loudness turns the master down to your mix's level, so you compare tone and punch rather than volume.
The dashed line marks -14 LUFS, the level most streaming services play music at. Louder masters get turned down to it.
Boosts and cuts applied to move your mix toward the chosen style.
Saves your mastered WAV file.

How it works
- Upload your mix and choose a style
Pick a sound (Balanced, Pop, Hip-hop, Electronic, Rock, Acoustic or Lo-fi) or match a reference track, then choose Gentle, Standard or Loud.
- Analysis, tone and glue
Your mix is analysed, gets a tonal balance EQ toward the chosen style, then light bus compression to glue it together.
- Through the analog chain
The track plays out through our outboard gear (Millennia, Manley, API, Hendy Amps, Neve and Custom Audio Germany) and is recorded back through a Lynx Hilo converter.
- Stereo and loudness
The low end is focused, left and right are balanced, and the loudness is set with a true-peak limiter so it plays cleanly everywhere.
- Listen and download
Compare the master against your mix at matched loudness, then download a 24-bit or 16-bit WAV.
Frequently asked questions
What file should I upload?
A WAV, AIFF, FLAC or MP3 of your finished mix, at its original sample rate. Leave some headroom (peaks around -6 dB) and take any limiter off the master bus, so the analog chain has room to work. For big files, FLAC keeps full quality at a smaller size.
How long does it take?
A few minutes for a typical song, plus any tracks ahead of yours in line. The page shows your place in line and the progress through the analog chain as it happens.
Is it really processed through analog gear?
Yes. Every master passes through our physical outboard chain, and you can follow it live in the signal path at the top of the page while your track is mastered.
What do I get?
A release-ready master as a 24-bit or 16-bit (CD) WAV file, with true peaks at or below -0.3 dBTP for clean playback on streaming services. The results also show the loudness, dynamics, stereo width and EQ changes.
Which style should I choose?
Pick the one closest to your genre; Balanced suits most songs. To match a specific sound, choose “Match a reference” and upload a finished song you like.
What happens to my files?
Your mix and master are private. Working files are deleted from the mastering server automatically, and finished masters are kept in our private archive.
When should I work with an engineer instead?
For stem mastering, albums or EPs that need to sound consistent, or when you want someone to listen and make decisions with you, work with Razik Mastering.
