Where your masters are stored and how to download them
A short but important question: where does your master go after processing, and how do you download it? Here's Magic Master's storage model in plain terms.
Download right away — that's the main rule
After processing, the result screen has a download button. Press it immediately — the file saves to your device and stays yours forever, regardless of plan. This is the most reliable way.
How long the result lives on the server
- Free and Pro — the finished file is held in server memory for about an hour after mastering. During that hour you can re-download it from history (in your profile). It isn't kept on disk longer than that, to save resources.
- Studio — the finished master is stored on the server for 30 days. You can download it from history at any point in that window, from any device.
How to download from history
Open Profile → Mastering history. Next to each entry:
- if the file is still available (Studio — 30 days; Free/Pro — within the hour) there's a ↓ button;
- if the window has passed, a "not stored" note appears instead of the button, with a hint. That's not a failure — the result simply isn't on the server anymore.
Previously the history button only showed for Studio — now Free and Pro see it too, while the result is still in memory (that one hour). A small thing, built from your requests.
What to do if the file is no longer stored
The data can't be recovered, but it's not a problem:
- Re-master for free — upload the same track and pick the same preset. The result is identical (processing is deterministic).
- Upgrade to Studio if you want masters kept for 30 days and downloadable anytime.
In short
- Download right away after mastering — most reliable.
- Free/Pro: re-download from history for ~1 hour; Studio: 30 days.
- File gone on Free/Pro? Just re-master — it's free.
