PREPARATION
Before sending mixes please listen for any unwanted clipping, distortion or sibilance.
Ideally, audio shouldn’t peak above -1dBFS. For best results keep mix bus processing light, please no limiting.
Send digital mixes in a .zip file to avoid possible data corruption.
Also send an email or text file with the following
- Spellings and punctuation of the band name, album name and each track title
- Album order, including side splits for cassette and vinyl release
- Any specific track spacing notes (or a master audio file of the album with spaces)
- ISRC codes if applicable (see links section for metadata and ISRC info)
- Any other special instructions you have
TURNAROUND
Turnaround times vary based on scheduling but average between one and two weeks. Rush service guarantees master previews within 3 days.
Payment is appreciated in advance but if money’s tight we'll figure something out.
I send previews as 16bit WAV files for approval.
Final masters are delivered as WAV files in both 16bit/44.1khz and 24bit/96khz. Additional high resolution files are included in the download link for analog-friendly masters and DDP Image if ordered.
Let me know if you have any additional formatting needs.
