TuneCore Mastering

Every artist needs mastered tracks.

Unmastered tracks sound inconsistent and don't get playlisted on DSPs. But mastering sessions with experienced, professional engineers – which give your music the professional edge it deserves –  can run an average of $50-$250 per song. That adds up quickly.

That's why we're excited to introduce TuneCore Mastering, an AI music mastering service that offers professional results at a DIY-ready price - $5. It masters musicians’ music instantly.

To understand how, let’s define exactly what music mastering is, online or in real life.

What is Music Mastering?

In music production, mastering means the last step of audio post-production, and its primary aims are "quality control" and balance.

A well-mastered track uses EQ (or equalization) to remove or reduce unwanted sounds. It uses compression to put loud and quiet sounds in proper equilibrium. On a well-mastered track, every sound is purposeful, and at the exact volume its artist desires – whether quiet or red-level pushing.

This is why mastering music is so important: it’s a final once-over to ensure that the songs musicians pour their hearts into accurately reflect their efforts. 

With TuneCore Mastering, that “last look” is affordable and effortless.

Easy To Use

With TuneCore Mastering, next-level production is as simple as “drag” and “drop.”
