Your song is about to be released
Before it goes live, a technical error shouldn't only be noticed after release.
Release Ready Check at Tonstudio Leipzig, handled entirely online.
Fully mixed and mastered.
Fully mixed and mastered.
But truly ready for release?
Not a gut feeling, but a fixed checklist: I check your finished mix or master with measurement tools for loudness, clipping, stereo image, and compatibility, and tell you in writing whether it's ready for release.
80 euros
structured approval report, one clear price
5 checkpoints
loudness, clipping, stereo image, frequency balance, playback
With measured values
measured LUFS and true-peak values instead of opinion
Clear recommendation
ready to release or what's still needed
It's not whether it sounds good, it's whether it's technically ready.
Your song is fully mixed and mastered and about to be uploaded to Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, or a label. Before it goes live, I want to rule out technical surprises like being quieter than other songs, distortion, or mono issues.
I measure your file with tools instead of by feel: integrated loudness and true-peak levels checked against the target values of Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube, digital clipping and inter-sample peaks, mono compatibility and phase alignment, tonal balance across the full spectrum, plus listening on multiple devices such as studio monitors, headphones, and laptop speakers for clicks or dropouts.
In the end you don't get a wall of text, but a structured written approval report: every checkpoint individually with a measured value or finding, plus a clear overall assessment of whether your song is ready for release or what still needs work. Optionally I add a short video call to discuss the report.
When this fits
Four situations, where the release ready check is exactly right.
You don't need your own studio for this.
You want to avoid surprises
Being quieter than other songs, distortion, or mono issues only become apparent after platform compression.
You're delivering to a label or distributor
A written approval report with measured values gives a traceable technical quality check.
You want a whole album checked
For several songs together, the Album/EP Mastering Package with built-in quality assurance is often the cheaper choice.
Price
One clear price, no surprises.
Optionally extended with a short video call to discuss the report.
