Mix Preparation

​If you do these things, we will all look like geniuses. 
  • If possible make the mixes fade in and out how you already want them. 
  • Make sure they at least all start and stop clean.
  • Make sure the mixes are WAV 44.1 16 Bit or Higher. 
  • Did the artist give you a gold star and sign off on the mix?
  • Pull off your final limiter unless it’s a make or break to the mix. I know it’s 2021, just give me some room to make your mix sound like a number one record please. 
  • Dynamic Range of -8 or more would be amazing. Output below 0 DB please. 
  • Triple check that you’re sending the right final mix. 
  • Please send Instrumentals, TV Mix, or any other versions with the final mix. 
  • Make sure you bounced with plugins at full resolution and turn off any room calibration software. 
  • Sorry I have to ask again…. is this really the final mix? 

Master Formats

  • 44.1 kHz, 16 bit is still standard for CD and almost all Digital Distributors.
  • 44.1kHz, 24-bit and higher is for Mastered For iTunes (You need to contact your distributor about this process and make sure you follow the correct procedures for MFiT, I will give you my provider information when the time comes for you to get that sweet little badge).
  • 48kHz, 24bit for all your insanely creative music videos.
  • 96kHz, 24-bit or 88.2kHz, 24-bit Hi-Res Mastered files for platforms that support HD.
