01 — What we fix

An AI track can be a great song and still not sound like a record.

A jagged AI waveform transforming into a smooth finished master
Raw export → finished master

AI tools can write a great song in seconds, but they export a demo, not a master. We work on the parts that give a track away, then master it to commercial level so it stands up next to anything else on a playlist.

  • Harsh, brittle highs that fatigue on headphones and poke out of a phone speaker.
  • Thin drums with no weight — the track goes flat the moment anything plays underneath.
  • Muddy low mids where bass and kick fight each other and the mix loses definition.
  • Robotic vocals drifting off pitch and sitting slightly behind the beat.

02 — One studio, three ways to finish

Whether it came out of an AI generator, a home setup or our own live room, it leaves here balanced, mastered and ready to release.

01 — AI music to streaming

AI tracks taken to release

Send us your Suno, Udio or any AI-generated track. We rebuild the parts that give it away — harsh highs, thin drums, muddy low end, robotic vocals — and hand back something that belongs on a playlist next to real releases.

  • Any AI generator: Suno, Udio and more
  • Mastered to every platform's loudness target
  • 24-bit WAV, high-quality MP3, radio edit
02 — Mix, master & recording

Mixing, mastering and studio recording

Recorded at home or in our room? We mix, edit, tune and master it to a commercial standard — balanced, punchy and loud enough to compete without falling apart on phone speakers.

  • Album and EP mastering with consistent tone
  • Studio recording for vocals and instruments
  • Radio edit and extended version where you need one
03 — Production, voice-over & ads

Production, voice-over and radio ads

Original music, brand themes, radio ads and voice-over — produced end to end by a team with over 20 years in the recording and advertising industries.

  • Radio ads and jingles with 15s / 30s / 60s cut-downs
  • Voice-over recording and direction
  • Broadcast-spec masters for radio and TV

04 — Why Shade Studios

A real studio, not an algorithm with a slider.

Shade Studios sits in the heart of Bedfordview, Johannesburg. We have spent two decades making records for the recording and advertising industries — and now we bring the same standard to AI-generated music.

  • Engineers, not presets. Every track is listened to, worked on and checked on real systems.
  • Streaming-safe by default. True-peak limited, loudness-matched, no platform penalties.
  • You keep 100% ownership. We work on it and hand it back — no claims on your master or publishing.
  • Fast turnaround. Most single tracks are delivered within 3–5 working days.
  • Works remotely. Upload, approve, download. We work with clients across South Africa and internationally.

“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.”
