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.
