Preparing your mixes to get the most out of mastering.
​
-
​Please ensure mix files are trimmed and, if possible, faded in and out the way you/the artist would like
-
If you would like tracks faded, please provide description of how you would like this to sound
-
Ensure that the artist has approved the mix- this saves on time and money for all parties
-
Unless it is integral to the mix, please provide a version without the final limiter. If it's important to the mix, please provide a version with 2-3dB less limiting as an option
-
If there is a loud/hot/limited reference that has been approved and differs from the final mix, please send that along too.
-
One last friendly reminder to triple check that you’re sending the right final mix :)
Good mastering starts with good communication.
