Planetary RecordsUpload a finished stereo mix, choose Standard or Ultra, and receive one complete 24-bit WAV. Hear a frozen RAW, Standard, and Ultra reference set before you decide.
Standard $7.00 · Ultra $10.00Pay per track. No subscription.
Four Planetary releases in a frozen V8 reference set. Compare aligned RAW, Standard, and Ultra excerpts at delivered levels; no gain matching. This reference documents 20260714-v8-artifact-floor. Current processing and results can differ by source.
Both options master the complete song and return one 24-bit WAV. The difference is how much control the process has over voice and music.

Method: 20260714-v8-artifact-floor, processed . This frozen V8 reference set documents that revision. Current processing and results can differ by source.
Source releases: Stellar Jett — Glass and Rain, Pilgrim's Fire — The Raw Nerve, Audio Horizon — Warped Memory, Kira — You Were Never Here.
AI exports can contain brittle highs, softened transients, low-mid buildup, uneven sections, and synthetic vocal texture. A loudness-only pass may preserve or exaggerate those issues, so Planetary checks tone, dynamics, peaks, stereo translation, and vocal balance before delivery.
Dynamic tone shaping reduces brittle top-end energy while preserving useful air and detail.
Low-mid buildup is controlled and bass focus is checked across small and full-range playback.
Transient shaping can help drums and plucks read more clearly when generation has softened their attack.
Section-to-section level changes are managed without treating every moment as equally loud.
Width and depth are adjusted with mono compatibility and common playback systems in mind.
De-essing and targeted processing can soften synthetic sheen without promising to erase source artifacts.
Standard shapes the stereo mix as one signal. Ultra first separates voice and music, processes them separately, and recombines them into one finished master. That extra control helps when vocal harshness or masking needs different treatment from the backing track.
Why it sounds cleaner: a fix for the vocal no longer has to touch the drums, bass or cymbals. A fix for the music no longer has to squash the voice.
Recommended for vocal tracks. Standard can be enough for an instrumental or an already-clean mix.
One cohesive mastering pass over the whole mix, delivered as a complete 24-bit WAV.
Voice and music are split, processed separately, then recombined into one finished master.

Use MP3, WAV, FLAC, or M4A. The mastering chain evaluates the whole song, not a sample of it.
Standard balances the stereo mix as one signal. Ultra separates voice and music first when they need different treatment.

Use Standard for an instrumental or already-balanced mix. Choose Ultra when a vocal and its backing need separate treatment. The exact charge is $7.00 or $10.00; there is no mastering subscription.
Playback normalization is useful context, not a universal upload requirement or a recipe for every song.
First-party platform references, checked August 19, 2026. Playback normalization and special delivery programs are context, not upload requirements; platform modes and policies can change.
| Platform | Reference |
|---|---|
| Spotify | -14 dB LUFS normal playbackSpotify recommends ≤ -1 dBTP; use ≤ -2 dBTP when mastering louder than -14 LUFS |
| Apple Digital Masters | No universal LUFS targetApple Digital Masters is a special high-resolution delivery workflow, not a general Apple Music loudness target |
| YouTube | No published LUFS upload targetYouTube's official upload specification defines codecs, sample rate, and bitrates rather than a loudness number |
The demo compares RAW, Standard, and Ultra at the same timeline position and at delivered levels, without loudness matching. Platform claims above link to first-party documentation. Every source track is different: mastering cannot guarantee removal of generation artifacts, a particular LUFS reading, or acceptance by a distributor.

Standard costs $7.00; Ultra costs $10.00. Each payment covers one track and one complete 24-bit WAV. There is no mastering subscription.
Planetary Records AI Music Mastering is an online finishing service for AI-generated tracks from Suno, Udio, Riffusion, or a DAW export. It shapes tone, dynamics, stereo image, and peaks across the complete song, then returns one downloadable 24-bit WAV. Standard treats the stereo mix as one signal; Ultra separates voice and music first.
Yes. The chain accepts any exported mix — Suno, Udio, Riffusion, another generator, or a DAW bounce. Processing targets the artifacts AI exports commonly carry, and those corrections stay conservative enough to leave a conventionally recorded mix intact.
Standard shapes the stereo mix as one signal. Ultra first separates voice and music, processes them separately, and recombines them into one finished master. That extra control helps when vocal harshness or masking needs different treatment from the backing track.
Sign in or create a Planetary account, then upload your own finished stereo mix. WAV is best; MP3, FLAC, and M4A are also accepted.
No. The public RAW, Standard, and Ultra player uses a frozen reference set, not your upload. It demonstrates the method and its limits; your own result depends on the source mix.
Processing time depends on the queue and track length. You can leave after submission and return from My items; artists who opt into email updates also receive a ready link.
Both modes return one complete 24-bit WAV. Standard shapes the stereo mix as one signal. Ultra first separates voice and music, processes them separately, and recombines them into one finished master. That extra control helps when vocal harshness or masking needs different treatment from the backing track. Only your account can access the job status and files. Download within the 7-day download window; after it ends, the original upload and mastered files are removed.
Mastering cannot guarantee complete removal of generated artifacts, repair a broken arrangement or clipped source, force one LUFS reading, or guarantee distributor acceptance. Use artifact reduction first when synthetic fizz, warble, or harsh resonances are the main problem.
Streaming platforms do not publish one shared upload target. Spotify documents playback normalization around -14 LUFS together with true-peak guidance. Apple Digital Masters is a high-resolution delivery workflow, not a universal Apple Music LUFS target. YouTube publishes codec, sample-rate, and bitrate upload specifications but no official LUFS upload target. Treat platform references as playback and delivery context, not guarantees; the right level still depends on the song.
