About Me
My name is Sebastian Lopera Gomez and I work as mastering engineer. I believe that every project need a unique sound depending on the music and emotion that it could create. When I receive a project I try to understand all the things that are behind the creation because I believe that your recording is the consequence of a serie of events that you live.
I think the result of the sound of your project is not just hardware or equipment, it is a sensitive ear and knowledge that allows me to make the best decisions and processes necessary to apply to your project. I started as a musician, looking for the sound that I had in my head for each of my projects, but that search led me to do what I do today and that is what I want to offer to each of the artists I work with, the tranquility that they found the sound that they have been looking for.

Frequently Asked Questions (F.A.Q)
In the mastering service fee, only one mix change is accepted without any additional cost. If you decide to make more than one change, each one will have an additional value equal to 20% of the value of the master. In the event that the change in the mix does not allow the use of the mastering session made before, a new master must be charged.
WAV 44_1khz 24bits: only use this format with distributors or aggregators that do not allow the use of 48khz or 96khz files.
WAV 48khz 24bits: use these files for aggregators that allow you to upload material with a bit depth equal to 24bits. These files must also be used in everything associated with the audiovisual as official video, video lyrics, etc…
WAV 96khz 24bits: they are high resolution files that some aggregators allow you to upload. Use these if your aggregator allows it.
Mp3: version of the master in mp3 which is a smaller size and i have tried to maintain its integrity and sound. You can use it to send by mail or whatsapp if necessary.
WAV 44_1khz 16bits: only use this format with distributors or aggregators that do not allow the use of 24-bit files.
Extras: here you will find the alternative versions that you requested when uploading your audio files.
The maximum delivery time is usually 2 to 3 business days for singles or EP’s up to 5 songs. For albums with more than 5 songs, the maximum delivery time is one week, although these are usually shorter. As long as the full payment has already been made.
The most important thing is that the mix does not exceed 0dBFs.
– If you are mixing using a limiter in the master, send me a version with a limiter and another version with a 3dB attenuation at the input of the limiter, in this way we can keep some of what the limiter adds to your mix.
– The file must be WAV or AIFF, with a minimum bit depth of 24 bits and at the sample rate that was mixed.
– Check that it is the mix approved by the artist. Sometimes they send me old versions of the mix and changing the mix in some cases may mean additional cost.
– If you need alternative versions like the instrumental, upload them at the same time, so I won’t have to charge an extra cost for this job. Only an alternative version is included, in case you need more we can agree on an extra price.
– Please check if it is the mix approved by the artist, producer, label or anyone who makes decisions on the project.
The answer is yes. For me it is very important to work with the mix that has been approved by the artist and the entire production team. If you feel better, you can send me a mix with the limiter on and one with the limiter off, or you can send me the unlimited version and a screenshot of your limiter settings so i can take this as a starting point.
