For Mastering Services
Pro Tools
- Go to File > Save Session Copy In…
- Make sure to checkmark Audio Files in the 'Save Copy In...' window
- Upload the newly created 'Copy of' Session Folder
Not Pro Tools
- .WAV audio files only
- …in the same sample rate / bit depth at which they were recorded (usually 44.1khz / 24bit or 48khz / 24bit).
- Every track should be consolidated from 0:00 until the end of the session.
- Should not have any additional plugins, unless you deem them vital to the track instrumentally.
- Please go through and make sure
file names communicate - Please don’t use names that just happen to populate! (For example, don’t have unnecessary suffixes like “…_1”, etc.) and avoid * | " : < > ? / \
(believe it or not using those characters in the name results in a digital conversion of the audio file). - Add a number to the beginning! (notice in photo below how it keeps files together in a proper order).
- Include at least one MIDI file per song. (If you don't have any, make one. It can be as little as two notes. One at the first measure and one at the final measure.) This will give us tempo / meter information.
- Include a rough mix for our reference.
- Upload as a single folder with the song title as the name.
If multiple songs, have separate folders with their song title (see photo below).
- Tracks for mastering must be submitted as .WAV at the highest possible bit depth (up to 32) and sample rate at which they were recorded. No conversions.
- Audio must include at least around 3db of headroom or more.
- Feel free to leave any form of mix bus processing that is imperative to the mix.
If unsure, send with and without. Please label accordingly and be sure to avoid * | " : < > ? / \ - Organize mixes into subfolders (MAIN/INST/RADIO/Etc) when applicable.
- All mixes should be uploaded as single folders named with track number and track title.
