Thanks to a studio-first focus, Ludwig Maier is known for the fastest turnaround in the industry: a single track often comes back the same or the next day. Albums and EPs are best arranged briefly in advance, but in a rush can also be mastered within a few days — without compromise on sound or detail.

Every master is finished precisely for its medium. Ludwig Maier delivers masters for every relevant distribution path: digital (streaming & download), vinyl, CD, MC, Dolby Atmos and Sony 360 Reality Audio. A stereo master is delivered in all stereo formats. As standard you receive 24-bit & ADM (Apple Digital Master), 16-bit and 320 MP3 without any extra request. On request, more specialised formats such as FLAC are also delivered free of charge.

For the audio files, Ludwig Maier recommends:

• Send the mix or stems without the final limiter, in 24-bit or higher, at the project's sample rate
• In addition, send the artist-approved listening mix — the loud, limited version
• Send a download link in a message or upload here — Upload

For stems, Ludwig Maier recommends groupings such as:

• Bass
• Kick
• Top drums
• 1–2 stems with the remaining instruments
• Vocal sum, or lead vocals / backing vocals separated

Mixing work is taken on primarily in Dolby Atmos — immersive and spatial audio mixes for Apple Music, Tidal and comparable platforms. Stereo mixing is offered selectively and on request, given the greater time it requires.

The mastering studio is located in Palma de Mallorca, Spain. Projects are handled internationally — communication, delivery and revisions run fully remote, securely and without friction.

Absolutely. Independent artists receive the same full commitment as any other project — personal guidance, honest feedback and maximum support, out of respect for creative freedom.

Over 25,000 mastered songs across every genre — from pop, rock, hip-hop and R&B to electronic music, singer-songwriter, film music, classical and jazz. Advertising projects can be mastered with international TV & radio experience. Diamond, Gold and Platinum records document this range.

On request, Ludwig Maier shares feedback on your mix before mastering even begins — whether on fine details or larger open questions, distilled into a clear note or discussed in a personal conversation. Every master then starts from the best possible foundation. Maximum support is available on request. Tell Ludwig Maier how he can support you.

Absolutely. Whether it's a bedroom studio or a first hobby mix — every piece of art is supported and encouraged; no one starts at the top, and great things grow from many small steps. Ludwig Maier makes already-strong mixes sound outstanding and has shaped thousands of songs that took a clear step forward through mastering — to the delight of artists, producers and engineers alike.
