How to prepare your stems:
Before exporting stems, please export the full song and include the exported file in the stem package (your rough mix/master). This is so we can determine if the stems sound the same on our end and are aligned properly etc.
For best results we generally advise to turn off processing on your stems, however if you feel that certain processing is ‘part of the sound’, please leave it ON and send as an additional unprocessed version labelled properly i.e. ‘Lead UNPROCESSED’.
All processing on the master channel should be turned OFF during the export, compressors and limiters in particular.
All automations should be turned ON for all stems.
Please use the formula below as a foundation for your stem package creation and strip any grouped sounds further into individual tracks to reach the stem count of the package of your choice:
- Kick
- Bass
- Snares/Claps
- 4×4 Main Hat
- 4×4 Main Clap
- Percs
- Tops (hats / cymbals / shakers / tambourines etc.)
- Keys, Chords, Pads
- Synths, Leads
- Buildup & Transitional FX (white noise / filter noise / crash / hits / impacts)
Please, keep in mind that mixing doesn’t involve creation of new sounds, adding delays or big reverbs that would creatively change the track or influence transitions between sections. It also doesn’t involve arrangement changes, audio editing or removing audio material etc. (if you would like to discuss these, please send us an email). However we allow 1 simple revision free of charge, that involves audio editing and 1 stem replacement / resubmission if needed.
After the export please don’t forget to load stems into an empty project and check carefully for alignment, levels, automations and make sure no sounds are missing. Length of the stems need to match the total length of the song. Please DO NOT overlook this step.
NOTE: I offer step by step guide for each DAW on how to export and prepare the stems, so please don’t hesitate to send us an email specifying your DAW software and I will walk you quickly through the process. Following the guide guarantees the best results and error free process during the export.

How to prepara a premaster:
Guidelines for submitting a pre-master:
If you have done your own rough/home master, you can also include it in the package. Export it before proceeding with the instructions below.
- I recommend turning off all compression, multi-band compression, EQ and limiting on your master channel before the bounce/export. However if you have processing on the master that you think is part of the ‘sound’ you can leave it ON.
- Ensure the headroom on your master channel is at a minimum of -6dB and not peaking/clipping over 0dB at loudest parts of the track.
- Export/bounce settings:
- Format: WAV
- Sample Rate: 44.1 KHz or higher (if your project if at 44.1Khz please do not choose higher rates at the export)
- Bit Depth: 16bit or higher
- Dithering: OFF
- Normalise: OFF
- Please name your track using following format: ’Artist Name – Track Title’, i.e. Chris White – Rock On
- You can use Wetransfer.com to upload the file(s) and send us the link to info@909studios.com We also accept files from other file sharing websites such as Onedrive, Google Drive, Dropbox, pCloud, etc.

If you feel like your track is not ready to be mastered, after consultation, I can help you to
nail that pro sound you are looking for, by replacing weak sound design elements in the song such as: drums, the kickdrum, a Synth or the bass sound and so on. In a few words I can add everything the song needs in order to create a commercial banger, ready for being shared at professional levels.I can also help you to build more complex breakdowns, background textures, effects and extra drum layers to empower the existing ones . All this will definitely add character to track.
