Straight answers, no studio jargon.

The giveaway on AI tracks is almost always the same four things: harsh upper mids, thin or unnatural drums, a muddy low end, and vocals sitting slightly off the grid. We fix all four, then master to commercial level. What comes back translates on phone speakers, car systems and club rigs.

Any of them. Suno and Udio are the most common, but the process is the same for anything that exports audio — including home recordings and voice notes. If you can play it, we can finish it.

No. We work from a single stereo file all the time. If you have stems — or the vocal on its own — send them too, because the more we have the better the result. Stems just mean we have more to work with, not that we require them.

The best export you can get — a WAV or high-bitrate MP3 from Suno, Udio or wherever it was generated. If you have separate stems, or the vocal on its own, send those too. For anything large, a Dropbox, Google Drive or WeTransfer link is easier than an attachment.

Turning a track up is easy and it's the wrong answer. Loudness without balance is what makes AI tracks sound cheap. We balance first, then master to the correct target — so the difference survives on a phone speaker, not just on studio monitors.

Mixing balances the individual parts — vocals, drums, bass, instruments — so the song sounds like one piece. Mastering is the final polish on that finished mix: tone, loudness and consistency, so it holds up next to everything else on a streaming platform. A release normally needs both.

That is the whole job. We master to each platform's target — around -14 LUFS for Spotify and YouTube, -16 LUFS for Apple Music — so your track plays at the same perceived level as the commercial releases around it, without the distortion that comes from pushing it too hard. True peak is limited to -1 dBTP so no codec mangles it.

Only when it helps. Most tracks are fine as a single streaming master. Radio, club and TV delivery often need their own version, and we'll tell you when that's the case and quote it up front.

A 24-bit WAV master, a high-quality MP3 for sharing, a radio or instrumental version where you need one, and a metadata sheet with your title, artist name and ISRC so your distributor can put it live without questions.

Always. You keep 100% ownership of your song. We work on it, hand it back, and make no claim to your master or your publishing.
