How to prepare and send your files

Before sending your material

The cleaner and more organized your files are, the more precisely, quickly and effectively the work can be done.

If possible, always include a sonic reference and a short description of the artistic direction you want to achieve.

Mixing specifications

• Minimum resolution: 44.1 kHz / 16 bit
• Maximum resolution: 96 kHz / 32 bit float
• Each file must stay below 0 dBFS to avoid digital clipping
• Each file must be clearly and consistently labeled
• Example: 1-Kick, 2-Snare, 3-Bass, 4-Guitar, 5-Keyboards
• If possible, include a rough mix made by you
• Include a reference track by an artist whose sound you like
• If possible, include a short description of the message or emotion you want to communicate

Mastering specifications

• Minimum resolution: 44.1 kHz / 16 bit
• Maximum resolution: 96 kHz / 32 bit float
• Files should not exceed about -5 / -6 dBFS
• For stem mastering, the number of stems should not exceed 6
• Stems must be clearly and properly labeled
• Example: Drums Group, Background Vocals Group, Guitar Group
• Include a reference track for the desired sound
• For an EP or album, include the tracklist
• If you want metadata embedded, send all necessary information

Delivery and revisions

For mastering, delivery is generally within 5 working days.

For mixing, delivery depends on the number of tracks involved and the overall complexity of the project.

We generally include 3 revisions. If more changes are needed, they can be discussed afterwards.

Useful material to include

• Rough mix, if available
• One or more sound references
• Tracklist, for EPs or albums
• Technical or artistic notes
• Metadata information, if needed
