FAQ
Q: What is online mastering?
A: Online mastering is the process of finalizing your tracks digitally through our platform, ensuring they’re polished and ready for distribution. You upload, and our expert engineers bring out the best in your music, all without you needing to leave the comfort of your space.
Q: What's the scoop on online mastering at Run Up Studio?
A: Dive in, and let’s break it down. Mastering is the grand finale in the track release process – it’s the final touch that ensures everything sounds as top-tier as possible. Think bigger, brighter, and more vibrant sounds. It’s the golden key to a stellar final track.
Mastering ensures tracks in albums flow seamlessly, with consistent sound throughout. It’s all about the details – the pauses between tracks, the fade-outs, and more. Plus, our mastering engineers bring fresh ears and objective insight, invaluable after you’ve been engrossed in your music for weeks or even months.
But here’s the deal – mastering isn’t just the cherry on top of the mix. It’s a distinct phase with its unique goals. No major changes occur during mastering; you won’t turn an acoustic ballad into a booming techno banger. It’s all about capturing and enhancing the genuine intent and emotion behind your music. So when your listeners press play, they feel every bit of your musical journey.
Q: How does Run Up Studio's online mastering differ from traditional mastering?
A: Our online mastering harnesses the same precision, expertise, and top-tier equipment as traditional mastering. The primary difference is the convenience: you can submit your tracks and receive your mastered versions entirely online, saving time and travel.

Q: How should I communicate my needs to Run Up Studio during the mastering process?
A: Clarity is your best ally. From the very beginning, whether you’re getting a quote or confirming a booking:

- Specify your desired format: DDP for CDs, standard or hi-res digital files, or a special format for vinyl.
- Always mention your exact deadline.
- Share your vision for the project. If you have a specific sound or feel in mind, let us know upfront so we can align our mastering to your expectations.
Q: How long does the mastering process take?
A: We typically polish tracks to perfection in 3-5 business days. But hey, every track’s unique, and times can vary based on the number of tracks and our beatmasters’ current groove. Need it fast? We’ve got a rush option, so you can drop a mastered hit in just 48 hours. 🚀
