Struggling to finalize your mix? At Stacy Painter Mastering, we understand the complexities involved in knowing when your track is truly ready for mastering. It’s not just about louder volumes; it’s about balance, clarity, and professional sound quality.

Why Your Mix Might Not Be Ready

Before your track hits the mastering stage, ensuring it’s mix-ready is crucial. Here are some common issues that could hold you back:

• Excessive Loudness: Many artists push their tracks to peak volumes, creating distortion and leaving no headroom for mastering.
• Poor Balance: Elements within the mix that are either too aggressive or not prominent enough can impact the overall clarity.
• Insufficient Headroom: A general rule of thumb is to maintain a negative 6 dB level to give the mastering engineer room to enhance your track.
