Guidelines

Perfect your mix first

  • Make sure you're 100% happy with your mix. Mastering is the final polish, not a fix-it stage. Any issues in the mix will be amplified during mastering.

  • Listen to your mix on various systems (headphones, speakers, car stereo, etc.) to catch any inconsistencies.

  • Reference your mix against professionally produced tracks in the same genre to ensure your song is competitive.

  • Address technical problems like clicks, pops, or sibilance within your mix before sending it to mastering.

Prepare the audio file

  • Remove any limiters, compressors, or maximizers from your master bus.

  • Leave sufficient headroom in your mix, ideally peaking between -6dBFS and -10dBFS

  • Export your mix as a high-quality, lossless file such as WAV or AIFF.

  • Use the same sample rate as your mix session. Upsampling won't improve the quality.

  • Choose the highest available bit depth (24-bit or 32-bit float) for your export.

  • Turn off dithering as this is handled during the mastering process.

  • Don't normalize the final mix file.

Provide Essential Information

  • Include additional info:

    • Any specific instructions or preferences for the mastering engineer (e.g., desired loudness, tonal characteristics, or specific sound elements to focus on)

    • Information about the intended distribution format (e.g., CD, Vinyl, streaming) as different platforms have different requirements.

  • Clearly label your files with song title and version (if applicable) for easy identification.

  • Communicate any crossfade or spacing preferences between tracks, especially for albums.

  • Ask for clarification on any requirements if you are unsure.
