HOW TO PREPARE AND SEND US YOUR SONG FOR MASTERING
• Ensure that the mix down is not clipping, and avoid using normalization or compressor and limiter on the master bus (master fader)
• Leave some headroom in your mixes for mastering and keep the maximum level between -3db to -6db
• Wherever possible, make your mix quieter, not louder
• Listen to your mix in mono, and see if you can hear all the instruments at the mixdown
• Bounce at the same sample rate that you used for the recording session. For example, if your session is at 44.1 then bounce the track at 44.1
• It is better to produce a good 44.1 kHz 24 bit master, rather than a poor 96 kHz master
• Please listen to your song from start to finish before you send it to us
