Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need mastering?
Mastering is the final step in the recording process. It is the polish to your song that will make it shine with low-end definition, warm mids and clear, crisp highs. The mixing engineer records songs that can be at different peak levels and equalization. The mastering engineer enhances (optimizes) the sound with careful equalization and compression that brings the levels (db) of the songs up to commercially released standards. Mastering makes all the songs on your album unified and more consistent with each other. After mastering the songs will reach their full potential and sound great on any sound system.
Do I need mastering if I’m only distributing my songs digitally such as Mp3’s?
Yes, when your songs are in playlists with other artist’s different songs, music that’s not mastered is extremely noticeable especially in sound level, equalization, noise issues and the overall sonic quality.
What formats of my final master mixes do you accept?
We prefer data files in stereo interleaved WAV or AIFF files in the highest resolution possible with the left and right as a single file via upload. Please label each data file with the song name and file format extension that you are using. We do not accept MP3’s or other compressed files as they degradate the sound quality and aren’t suitable for mastering.

Pre-Mastering Checklist:
1. We prefer data files in stereo interleaved WAV or AIFF files in the highest resolution possible with the left and right as a single file via upload. Please label each data file with the song name and file format extension that you are using. We do not accept MP3’s or other compressed files as they degradate the sound quality and aren’t suitable for mastering.
2. Keep the bit depth and sample rate at their original rates.
3. Don’t normalize or dither.
4. Don’t use finalizing, limiting, or compression on the stereo master out at mix down. By doing so, it restricts the engineer in optimizing your sound.
5. Make a backup of your stereo mix.
6. Determine the order of your songs (album only) and list them in your Email.
7. Write a description of what you think needs to be done to each song.
8. Allow enough headroom for the mastering engineer to work. With digital equipment a minimum of 3 to 6 dB of available headroom is critical to perform good mastering. Ideal peak levels should not exceed ?3 dB and avoid clipping. Anywhere from -3 db to -10 db is good.
9. Album length should not exceed 74 minutes. Song length should be no longer than 6 minutes. If longer please inquire via the Contact Page.
