How to prepare your tracks for mastering..
When submitting a mix for mastering…
- The file should be kept in the same resolution as it was mixed in (no down conversions).
- For Example: A song mixed at 24bit 48kHz should be submitted as a 24bit 48kHz file (.WAV or .AIFF
- Samplerate: 44.1khz or higher
- Bitrate: 24bit or higher
- Please turn off all dynamic plugins on the master-channel before exporting your track!
- No sum-compression or limiting of the mixdown signal.
- Please keep some free headroom (something around -3db & -5db) No clipping!
- Please keep at least 2 seconds of silence at the beginning & especially at the end of each track.
