Mastering is the final step of audio post-production. The purpose of mastering is to balance sonic elements of a stereo mix and optimize playback across all systems and media formats. Traditionally, mastering is done using tools like equalization, compression, limiting and stereo enhancement. It is the final set of tweaks before music is released. Click here to find out more.

Mastering can make your tracks or podcasts sparkle - more like the songs you hear on the radio. It is usually done as part of post production. Most people will hire a mastering engineer even if they record in a nice studio. Maztr makes this service instant and affordable.

Sure does :) Sign up for a free account and try it out for yourself.

Now let's be clear, we're not trying to put traditional mastering engineers out of business. We don't claim to be better than having an actual human with years of training analyze each second of your track, but we're perceivably close.

Think of us like auto-focus on digital cameras, but for music instead of photographs. The auto focus doesn't make someone a professional photographer, but they sure can take a lot better pictures with it!

Sure! Just sign up for a free account, master some of your tracks and upgrade when you're ready.

Nope! You can change or cancel your Plan at any time. No contracts, no commitments.

Please note, if you downgrade, we do not offer refunds on payments already made. Also, to keep our costs low, all masters from your paid account will be deleted.

We recommend uploading WAV files for best results. WAV files are lossless so they maintain the full audio quality of the original source material. As a result, they have become the defacto standard for Mastering.

We also support MP3 files for those who don't need such high quality, for example songs you play in the car.

Click here to use our free online Audio File Converter. This tool allows you to convert most major file formats, ready for mastering. These include WAV, MP3, AAC, AIFF, AU, FLAC, M4A, OGG, RAW and .WMA.

Some of our other audio tools such as the Audio File Cleaner can also convert file formats during processing.

Sure can! Many of our customers use Maztr to refresh their old music tracks from decades past and make them sparkle. In particular, MP3 tracks ripped from old CDs can get a new lease of life when you run them through Maztr's intelligent algorithms. Our MP3 Accounts are perfect for this purpose.

You can! You can do anything you'd like with the masters you make with Maztr. We only charge you for your membership and retain no rights to your tracks.

Not at all. We'd love it if you did :) , but no one has to know you used Maztr.

Yes, Pro Plus Accounts can have their own public web page and playlist for every track and project. You can also upgrade a single track to access its own public web page.

To set this up, just enable web pages in your track settings. Click here to find out more or click here to see examples.

On a computer or laptop, you can download a mastered track by right-clicking on the MP3 or WAV button, then select the "Save Link As…" option.

If you have a Mac with a 1 button mouse, Control-Click the MP3 or WAV button and select "Download Linked File". Also, you can hold down the option key when clicking the button to download your mastered track.

The process is a little different on mobile devices. In Chrome, long press the relevant button then select "Download Link". In Firefox, open the relevant file in Firefox's player, long press on the player then select "Save Audio".

When you upload a track for mastering, our system processes it using the settings you have chosen at that time. If you want to change those settings, you need to remaster your track to apply the new settings.

If you have a free account and don’t have remaster access, you need to upload your track again with the new settings to apply the changes. Alternatively, you can upgrade that single track or upgrade your account to get remaster access.

While our tools and resources have been designed to work on most devices, we recommend desktop and laptop computers to get the best results when using our services. Some other devices such as smartphones and tablets may have insufficient memory or less capable browsers which may cause problems during some mastering and file editing processes. For example, if your smartphone "hangs" during processing, it may not have enough memory and we'd recommend switching to a more powerful device.

Advertising supports our Free and Lower Tier services and helps to keep our prices low. However, users who sign up for a Pro Plus Account are ad free. Click here if you want to upgrade.

Also, to keep our costs low, all masters from your paid account will be deleted immediately, however you can upload new tracks and continue using your account on the Free Plan.

Sorry no. To keep our costs low, all masters are deleted from your account when you downgrade. You will need to upload your tracks and master them again.

You'll need to upgrade to a Pro Account. Hi-Res Single Track Accounts only allow you to master one Hi-Res track.

Unfortunately, it can be difficult to diagnose these problems because there are so many possible causes. Here's a checklist of suggestions that may help:

• There may have been a connection problem when you were trying to upload a file. Possible solution – try again during a non-peak period.
• There may be an issue with your web browser settings or device compatibility. Possible solution – try a different browser or device. Our systems generally work better with non-mobile devices. Some smartphones and tablets may have insufficient memory or less capable browsers.
• If you have a firewall, it may be interfering with the process. Possible solution – turn off the firewall temporarily.
• The resource may not have been able to read the data in your files or they're not in compatible format. This may be temporary, so please try again.

If you continue to have problems, please contact us and we’ll try to guide you through other possible solutions. For example, paid users can send us files directly so we can process them manually and diagnose the problem first hand.
