FILE UPLOAD RECOMMENDATIONS
– Please submit the final mixes in .WAV or .AIFF;
– Make sure you upload the files in the SAME BIT DEPTH and SAMPLE RATE used in the mix! If necessary, we will contact you to request a version of the mix with STEMS (groups);
– As a suggestion, please send the artist / track name and some comments on what you expect from the mastering (sound aesthetics, references, etc);
– Technically speaking, just be aware of the peak levels (I recommend leaving a margin of 2 to 3 dB’s below 0 dBFS)! There is no restriction or rule regarding the loudness (LUFS or RMS levels) of your mix. Any level between -20 and -13 LUFS will be OK for the service. Only avoid loudness levels well below these to reduce unnecessary noise floor in your mix!
– Any master bus processing CAN BE maintained in the mix as long as you don’t have a limiter acting too strongly. If in doubt, just send it the way you finished it and, if necessary, we will ask for the adjustments.
