What we do for your Tidal release

01

Let detail survive the master

Lossless playback can expose clipped peaks and over-limiting. Retain useful movement and use the A/B comparison to judge impact rather than level alone.

02

Choose Tidal as the destination

The canonical mastering flow includes 8 release destinations, 8 genre choices, and 3 loudness profiles. The main uploader accepts audio files up to 200 MB.

03

Compare first, export when approved

Upload, configure, process, and switch between Original and Mastered before joining. An active €4.99/month membership unlocks WAV and MP3 download and export.

Tidal in depth

High-quality playback exposes the source

Tidal offers lossless listening in supported plans and devices. That makes a clean source, controlled peaks, and retained transient detail especially valuable; aggressive limiting is still audible when the playback path preserves more information.

Deliver through the current distributor path

Catalog releases normally reach Tidal through a distributor. Follow that distributor's current format and metadata requirements, and export the highest-quality master those requirements support.

Questions about mastering for Tidal

Does Tidal master my music for me?

Tidal delivers the audio supplied through its catalog pipeline. Prepare and approve the master before distributor delivery.

What file should I prepare for Tidal?

Use the highest-quality lossless file your distributor currently accepts and keep a copy of the original master.

How long does MixMasterAI processing take?

Processing time depends on track length, source format, device performance, and current service conditions. The interface shows progress while the master is created.

Can I try the master before joining?

Yes. Upload, settings, processing, and A/B comparison come first. An account with active €4.99/month membership is required only when you choose WAV or MP3 download or export.
