Releasing for a label? Rates and compilationsBefore / after, level-matched
Same loudness. Decide by ear.
Before and after play at the same loudness, so you hear what the master changes: the kick, the low end, the space. Loud is fine. Flat is not.
What psytrance needs from a master
Kick and bass in the same 40 Hz
We shape the low end so the bassline sits between the kicks instead of on top of them. On a festival rig that decides whether the floor moves or the limiter pumps.
Loud, with the tails intact
Reverb tails and acid lines keep their space at club level. We push loudness as far as the transients survive, not further.
Compilations that play as one
Ten artists, ten studios, one release. We match level, tone and low end across the whole tracklist.
Before we master, we listen like a producer.
If something in the mix holds your track back, you hear it from us first. Raw productions stay raw.
Mastered by someone who has played the big stages.
Too much energy, too little room. Lars Peter knows that problem from both sides of the speakers.

Questions
How loud do you master psytrance?
As loud as the track can take without the kick losing its punch. For club-focused darkpsy and hi-tech that is usually louder than streaming needs. You hear the result level-matched before you decide.
Can you master a whole compilation?
Yes. Labels get 10 % off from 10 tracks a year, one DDP and vinyl sides in the right order. See the label page for an example calculation.
Do I need to send stems?
No. A stereo mix with a few dB of headroom is enough. Stem mastering (69 €) helps when kick and bass already clash in the mix.
Send the full track. Hear at least 90 seconds free.
You get a free test master back, usually within 2–3 days. Then you decide.
