Yes! Mastering services are often very expensive, but Songbay mastering is free to all Songbay subscribers.

Our software analyses the key audio characteristics of your chosen reference song and applies them to the song you wish to perfect.

Make sure your mix is clean, with well-balanced instrument and vocal levels, and free from distortion and noise. Avoid excessive use of limiters and compression, as our software will handle those aspects. Your song should be in high-quality MP3 or WAV format.

The reference song should be of high quality, professionally recorded, mixed, and mastered. It should also be in a similar genre and style to your song to ensure the best mastering results.

Once mastering is complete and you've downloaded your track, we permanently delete everything from our servers, including all uploaded material.

Not at all! You retain 100% of the rights to both your original and newly mastered song. Our mastering service is simply a free benefit for our subscribers, with no impact on your music rights.
