Lunar Mansion Studios · The Vault

Online audio mastering delivered within minutes.

The Vault is a private online audio mastering service from Lunar Mansion Studios. It applies the mastering judgment behind Matt O’Neil’s sessions to a customer’s own final mix, selected musical style, and chosen release level. The service accepts WAV, AIFF, MP3, and FLAC uploads and returns one finished master rather than a confusing set of alternate versions.

The mastering experience is designed around a clear release workflow. Upload a final mix, choose the musical style that best fits the record, select either a forward −9 LUFS release level or a more open −13 LUFS release level, and continue through secure checkout. Both choices are verified against a −1.0 dBTP ceiling before delivery. The finished master is built to translate cleanly and arrive ready to release.

How The Vault mastering process works

  1. Prepare the mix. Add a track title and upload a non-empty WAV, AIFF, MP3, or FLAC source file smaller than 500 MB.
  2. Choose the musical direction. Select Rock / Indie, Pop, Acoustic, Hip-Hop / Grime, Electronic, Reggae / Dub, Metal, or Other / not listed. This selection guides the genre-aware mastering approach.
  3. Choose the release level. Select −9 LUFS for a forward, release-ready level or −13 LUFS for a more open, dynamic level. Each option uses the same verified −1.0 dBTP delivery ceiling.
  4. Preview or unlock. A signed-in account can hear one free 30-second preview every 24 hours. A finished master is available through a one-time purchase or an active Creator or Pro membership.
  5. Receive the master. Masters are delivered within minutes. The finished file remains in the customer’s private library for A/B auditioning against the original mix and secure download.
