  • Changing out the song in an already live release: a quick guide by Masterchannel

    Changing out the song in an already live release: a quick guide by Masterchannel

    At Masterchannel, we are now mastering well over 50,000 songs every month – and a lot of them comes through our third party integrations with companies like TuneCore, Ditto Music, Symphonic, amuse and many more distributors.

    As more and more artists are using Masterchannel to master their music through distributors, a question has become more frequent:

    How can I change my already released song, to a new and remastered version of that song?

    This may seem like a big task for many, but it’s actually pretty easy. So we’d like to give you a quick rundown on how you can do it:

    1. First you need to copy the ISRC code on your original release. 

    2. Create a new release and make sure the following is identical to the original song:
      • Song title 
      • Artist name
      • Artwork
      • Release type (single, ep and album)
      • Track length

    3. Paste in the ISRC code from your original release in the new release you’ve created, and resubmit the new release.

    4. After the new release is live on your preferred streaming platform, go ahead and delete the original release. 


    That’s how to do it in the most easy and straight forward way 😊

  • Why You Shouldn’t Split Vocals and Instrumentals Before Mastering

    Why You Shouldn’t Split Vocals and Instrumentals Before Mastering

    When mastering a song, some producers believe splitting vocals and instrumentals and mastering them separately offers more control. However, this can lead to imbalanced results. Here’s why you should keep everything in one stereo track before mastering with Masterchannel.

    Mastering is Holistic
    Mastering fine-tunes the overall sound of a song. By mastering vocals and instrumentals separately, you risk losing the cohesion that comes from treating the song as a whole. A single stereo track allows Masterchannel’s AI to optimize the entire mix, preserving the dynamic relationship between elements.

    Avoid Phasing Issues
    Separating tracks can cause phasing or timing problems when recombined. Keeping everything in one file ensures all elements are perfectly aligned during mastering, maintaining consistency.

    AI Works Best with Full Mixes
    Masterchannel’s AI tools are designed to process full stereo mixes. Providing a combined track allows the AI to make smarter decisions about EQ, compression, and loudness based on the song’s overall balance.

    In short, mastering your song as one stereo track guarantees better cohesion, dynamics, and quality, simplifying the process and delivering superior results.
