MASTERING GUIDLINES

Thank you for choosing us to Master your project!

Below are some guidelines to help make the process easier for everyone.


EXPORTING INFORMATION

  • Export as .WAV Stereo Interleaved Files

  • Same sample rate and bit depth same as your session

  • Please remove all bus processing, including E.Q and Compression on your output bus in your DAW

  • Leave at least 6db before clipping, preferable 9db . Check your output meters after your export that there are no ‘overs’ or ‘clips’.

  • Label all your songs with the correct spelling and number them to designate the order of the songs

  • If possible please supply a version of the song(s) as you have been listening (with bus processing), so I know what you’ve been listening to.  If you can include a list of what plugins you used that can sometimes be helpful, but not required.

  • Please email us the IRSC codes if using them.

FILE MANAGEMENT

  • We can download your files from a link or we can set up a DropBox folder for the duration of project

  • We will provide all Masters (in all formats) via a Dropbox link which is valid till the end of that calendar year

  • We do back up all masters, and can provide them again at anytime after they have been removed from DropBox for $50+GST

REVISIONS

  • 3 Revisions (extremely rare) is included in the fee

  • If you get your master back and hear subtle things in your mix you would like to tweak, it is no problem. As long as they don’t change the mixes master.

  • All revision re submissions are required within 3 days of the master being supplied.
