EDM mastering needs wide stereo, punchy kick and bass, and a limiter that can handle the loudness demands of club systems and streaming playlists. MixMasterAI delivers all of it in one free click.
The challenge
EDM's power comes from its immersive stereo width. Pads, synths, and percussion effects span the full stereo field, but careless widening breaks mono compatibility and destroys the mix on club center-fill speakers.
The kick and sub-bass need to coexist without masking each other. Sidechain compression and frequency separation between the kick fundamental and the bass root are the defining challenges of EDM mastering.
SoundCloud targets -9 LUFS, Spotify targets -14 LUFS. EDM producers distribute across both, so the correct platform target matters more for this genre than almost any other.
The processing
MixMasterAI applies stereo widening exclusively through mid-side processing, leaving the bass frequencies mono and widening only the mid and high content. The result is a wide, immersive sound that holds together on any speaker.
Multiband compression in the 60-100 Hz range separates the kick's fundamental from the sub-bass, preventing them from masking each other while preserving the physical punch of both.
Select SoundCloud for -9 LUFS or Spotify for -14 LUFS. MixMasterAI also targets TikTok at -13, YouTube at -14, and Apple Music at -16. EDM producers often master separate versions for each destination.

The solution is mid-side processing. Apply widening only to the side channel, and keep the bass frequencies below 150 Hz summed to mono. MixMasterAI handles this automatically in the Dance and EDM character settings.
