Before You Upload
Follow these four steps to make sure your files are ready. If you're unsure about anything get in touch first.
Step 01
Check Your Format
Send files as 16 or 24bit. 44.1k sample rate is preferred — other rates will need converting before mastering begins. Wave files are preferred but AIFF is also accepted.
Step 02
Prepare Your Bounce
For mastering, you can send a 320k MP3 first so I can advise whether stems are needed. If stems are required, bounce kick, drums, bassline, and the rest as separate stereo files — 4 files total that reproduce the song when played together.
Step 03
Turn Off Your Master Chain
Remove all master buss processing — compressors, EQ, limiters. For mixdown projects you can also turn off track effects. Reverb and delay can stay, or send both wet and dry versions so I can choose.
Step 04
Check For Clipping
No clipping and no flat-topped waveforms. There should be at least 1dB of headroom — aim for around −6dB. Lower the master fader to achieve this. Do not touch individual track levels as this will upset the mix balance.
File Delivery
Please upload your files for mixing or mastering services here. I prefer Wetransfer — it allows up to 2Gb per transfer and delivers straight to my inbox.
