Stem Mastering Online: The Smart Way to Perfect Your Mix

What Is Stem Mastering

Stem mastering bridges the gap between mixing and stereo mastering.Instead of sending a single stereo file, you provide grouped stems — drums, bass, vocals, and instruments.This gives the mastering engineer more flexibility to correct balance, EQ, and dynamics without changing your creative intent.

Why Choose Stem Mastering Online

Modern productions often sound great but still lack the final polish heard in professional releases.With stem mastering, you keep control of your mix while gaining:

• Better balance between drums, vocals, and low end.

• Cleaner tone thanks to analog EQ and compression on each group.

• More loudness without distortion or pumping.

• Fixes for phase and stereo issues before the final master.

At VDSS Studio, every stem mastering session runs through a hybrid analog chain with SSL, Neve, and high-end converters to ensure clarity, punch, and depth that purely digital processes can’t match.

How It Works

1. Prepare your stems: export grouped tracks (drums, bass, music, vocals, FX) as 24-bit WAV files with −6 dB headroom.

2. Upload your files and include a note about your reference track or platform (Spotify, CD, Vinyl).

3. Receive your first test master for free.

4. Approve or request tweaks — revisions are included.

Turnaround: 2–5 business days per track.
