Red Carpet Master™
A service of The Mix Academy
This is the white-glove mastering experience built for serious releases — and it includes the full start-to-finish video recording of your mastering session plus a separate Mastering Review & Breakdown video that explains the finished processing and settings.
Red Carpet is about clarity, not guesswork. You don’t just receive a master — you receive the entire path that created it, and a guided breakdown of the final settings so you understand what mattered and why.
How the process works
1. Checkout → lock in your spot and access upload instructions immediately.
2. Upload → mix + notes + references (and any deliverable needs).
3. Deep evaluation → translation, tonal balance, dynamics, imaging, and intent.
4. Mastering + QC → crafted master + verification across systems.
5. Full session video → you receive the complete start-to-finish mastering recording.
6. Breakdown video → a separate review that explains the finished processing and settings.
What’s included
- One white-glove mastered song (Red Carpet Master™)
- Master optimized for streaming translation + musical loudness
- Final master delivery (WAV) plus a streaming-ready version
- Enhanced QC checks (clicks, distortion, harshness, balance)
- Full start-to-finish mastering video recording
- Mastering Review & Breakdown video (finished processing + settings)
If you have special delivery needs (instrumental, TV mix, clean version, alt versions, etc.), include it with your upload notes and we’ll confirm what’s best.
What you’ll hear
- More depth and size without losing punch
- Tighter low end control (clean, strong, intentional)
- Clearer vocal focus and midrange definition
- Competitive level that stays musical — never crushed
- Translation confidence on phones, cars, AirPods, and speakers
What makes Red Carpet different
- You get the full session recording. Not highlights — the entire start-to-finish mastering process.
- You get a separate breakdown video reviewing the finished processing and settings so it’s clear what changed and why.
- More attention and evaluation before the master is ever printed.
- More guidance so you know what matters and what to watch for next time.
This is for artists who want the release to feel done — and who want the confidence of understanding the process, not just receiving files.
Before you upload: quick file prep checklist
• Export a stereo WAV at the same sample rate as your session (24-bit preferred).
• Leave headroom (avoid clipping on the mix bus).
• Remove any limiter that’s only there for loudness (if unsure, upload both versions and label them).
• If your song has intentional distortion or lo-fi crunch, tell us so we don’t “fix” the vibe.
• Include 1–3 reference songs (optional but helpful).
FAQ: Are the videos edited?
The full session recording is delivered as a start-to-finish capture of your mastering process. The Review & Breakdown video is a separate guided explanation of the final processing and settings so you know exactly what mattered most.
FAQ: Is this for rushed mixes or “fix it in mastering” expectations?
No. Red Carpet is premium because it’s careful and thorough — not because it’s a rescue mission. If the mix has a major blocker, we’ll flag it and guide the cleanest next step so your money is spent wisely.
FAQ: What’s the turnaround time?
Turnaround depends on current queue volume. After you upload, we’ll keep communication simple and clear so you always know what’s next.
FAQ: Can I master more songs?
Yes — after purchase, you’ll have the option inside your dashboard to add additional songs (and sessions) as needed.
What artists say:
“The master sounded bigger, clearer, and more focused — without losing the emotion of the mix. What impressed me most was how well it translated everywhere. I didn’t have to second-guess anything before release.”
— Dr. Tumi
“Red Carpet is a different level. Getting the full start-to-finish session video and then the breakdown of the final settings made everything click. I wasn’t guessing — I understood what changed and why, and the release felt easy.”
— Kevin, Producer & Artist
