MP3 files are provided to FREE users. High resolution MP3, FLAC and HD WAV files are provided to artists who have purchased a Premium Mastering Pass.
Maztr was established in 2016 by a group of audio engineers and musicians who saw the need to help the home recording artist master songs and podcasts in the cloud — For FREE. Our intelligent algorithms can make your tracks sparkle, but unlike some services, you have full control.
MP3 is a popular compressed format you've probably very familiar with, which is supported by many playback devices and online services. These file formats are perfect for sharing and distributing due to their smaller file sizes. We generate MP3 at 192 kbps for FREE users, and 320 kbps for users who have purchased our Premium Mastering Pass.
FLAC is a lossless compressed format of the highest quality, perfect for audiophiles with high end systems. These are large files, typically only slightly smaller than WAV files, but they are 100% true to the source material. We generate FLAC files at 24 bits.
WAV is a completely uncompressed format that we use for mastering. If you want to generate other file formats for distribution, this is the file you want because they contain the raw audio samples without any compression. For the same reason, this is the only file format we accept for mastering. We generate HD WAV files at 24 bits.
If you wish to convert your track to other file formats you can use an online service like Online Audio Converter.

What is Mastering?
Mastering is the final production step just before CD replication or online publishing. It enhances the sound by processing the mix with subtle adjustments to EQ, carefully applying multiband compression and limiting, as well as other effects like stereo enhancers and aural exciters if required.
How do I prepare my Mix for Mastering?
For best results on Mastering we recommend you to take a couple of minutes to prepare your file correctly. So, before rendering, just ask yourself these 3 questions:
- Is the master output clipping? This is the most common mistake. So, make sure you have lowered the master fader enough to leave at least 3 dB of headroom.
- Do you have any effect in the Master Bus? Disable any effect in the Master, specially dynamic effects like compression and limiting. We’ll take care of Loudness in the Mastering!
- What are your project settings? Check the Bit depth and the Sample Rate in your project. It’s a good idea to use higher Bit depth on render, but is important that you don’t use a different Sample Rate.
You’re ready to go!
'Your track has clipping' Warning
If this warning shows up in the Preview, your track has a kind of distortion called clipping. This happens when the signal tries to go over 0dB (the max level) and then gets literally cut, producing an undesirable sound.
How can you solve this problem? Pretty simple. Go back to your project and lower the Master volume, which is usually located in the mixer section and can be adjusted with a fader.
If you get an info box (blue), lower the fader about -8dB and, if you get a warning box (red), lower it about -16dB.
Then just render your track again and upload!
'Your track has a limiter applied' Warning
If this warning shows up in the Preview, your track has a limiter already applied in the master section, or maybe your track is already mastered! For best results in mastering, you should upload a track without effects in the master channel.
How can you solve this problem? Easy. Go back to your project and check the Master Bus/Channel which is usually located in the mixer section, make sure you have disabled any effect located there. Some softwares like FL Studio or Ableton Live have a limiter by default, so, please, be specially careful if you work with those DAWs.
Then just render again and upload your track!
How can a machine Master my track?
MasteringBOX is an app designed by professional sound engineers with years of experience. We’ve designed a smart artificial intelligence that can detect the dynamic and spectral characteristics of the track and apply the appropriate adjustments.
Should I use MasteringBOX or hire a Mastering Engineer?
MasteringBOX does not necessarily compete with professional mastering studios. Indeed, it may not quite achieve the same balanced and smooth sound that a talented mastering engineer can achieve with fine-tuned adjustments in a suitably-equipped professional mastering studio. It is, however, a seriously sophisticated mastering tool in its own right — one that is also fast, easy to use, and affordable to all. As such, why not try MasteringBOX? Mastering engineers are always available at significantly higher rates to anyone not satisfied with its results, after all.
