Mastering & Dolby Atmos Mix & Master – Trusted by Labels & Independent Artists
Entrusting your music to an external ear is an act of trust. I am a Sound Engineer dedicated to protecting your sonic identity.
Every project begins with a Dedicated Mix Check: a direct exchange to ensure the master is the exact vision.
Tridimensionality and absolute control. Through surgical precision, I transform your mix into a competitive master, ensuring perfect translation across every playback system.
Dimension is the New Loud. I translate your music into a 360° immersive experience, giving the sound the spatial freedom it deserves.

Use headphones to experience the track in spatial audio.
Apple Music has dozens of editorial playlists dedicated to Dolby Atmos. An Atmos version gives your release a second layer of placement opportunities when you pitch.
Atmos changes the listener's position — from hearing the music to being placed within it. Each element surrounds them in three-dimensional space, creating an emotional depth that stereo can only suggest.

This private page is for completing the payment for your session.I’ve already received your files and project details, once the payment is confirmed, I’ll begin working as discussed.
Mastering isn't about esoteric secrets. It’s the final architectural touch where technical science meets raw musical emotion.
I’ve always seen mastering as a bridge. It’s often demonized as a "dark art," but for me, it’s a transparent process built on precision and taste. I don't follow trends; I follow the music’s pulse.
My philosophy is simple: Dynamics over Distortion. I respect the original intent of your mix. If it means sacrificing a few decibels of loudness to preserve the clarity and "breath" of a song, I’ll take that path every time. Accuracy is the ultimate luxury.
A surgically controlled environment for critical decisions.
To deliver excellence, you need an acoustic space that doesn't lie. My suite is designed for a perfectly linear response across the entire spectrum.

Terms and ConditionsEffective Date: 18 June 2026Welcome to my website, matteobardari.com. My name is Matteo Bardari, and I offer professional audio mixing and mastering services. Below you'll find the terms and conditions ("Terms") that govern the use of my website and services. By accessing or using my website and services, you agree to be bound by these Terms.These Terms apply both to clients acting as consumers (natural persons acting for purposes outside their trade, business, craft or profession) and to clients acting as business clients (acting within their professional or business activity, e.g. with a VAT number). Some clauses apply only to consumers and are marked accordingly. Where the law grants consumers mandatory rights, nothing in these Terms limits or excludes those rights.1. ServicesI provide professional mixing and mastering services ("Services"). The specifics of these Services are detailed on my website and, where applicable, in the individual quote agreed with you. By using my Services, you agree to the following:- Service Requests: You must provide accurate and complete information when requesting my Services.
- Quotes and scope: The scope, deliverables, and price of each project are defined in the quote I send you (often via a personalized payment link). The quote, once accepted, together with these Terms, forms our agreement.
- Delivery: I will deliver the mastered audio files within the timeframe indicated in the quote (typically 3–4 business days), but this may vary depending on my workload and other factors. I will inform you of any material delay.
- Revisions: For mastering, you are entitled to a reasonable number of revisions. For mixing, the number of revisions included in the price is agreed in advance in the quote.

PaymentsAll fees for my Services are as stated on the website or in the applicable quote. Payments must be made through my designated payment methods. By providing payment information, you confirm that you are authorized to use the chosen payment method and that you authorize me (or my third-party payment processor, e.g. Stripe) to charge that method for the total amount due, including any applicable taxes and charges.Fees are non-refundable once the Services have been fully performed, except where a refund is required by mandatory law or by the right of withdrawal described in Section 3 below.

My Services consist of audio work created to your specifications and clearly personalized for your project, and of services that I begin performing on your request. Under Article 59 of the Italian Consumer Code, the right of withdrawal does not apply to:- the supply of goods/works made to the consumer's specifications or clearly personalized;
- services fully performed, where performance began with your express prior consent and your acknowledgment that you will lose the right of withdrawal once the contract has been fully performed;
- digital content not supplied on a tangible medium, where performance began with your express prior consent, your acknowledgment of the loss of the right of withdrawal, and my confirmation.Your consent. Because each project is personalized and you typically want work to start immediately, before I begin I will ask you to expressly request that I start performing the Services before the end of the 14-day withdrawal period, and to acknowledge that, as the work is personalized and/or once it is fully performed, you lose your right of withdrawal. This consent is given when you accept the quote and proceed with payment, where the order flow expressly states the above.
