Tips on how to supply your mixes
-
leave ideally -6dB of head room in your mix
-
remove any final limiting - over crushed loud mixes leave no room for manoeuvre
-
Supply files in the original recorded format, no need to down sample, or reduce bit rate. The mastering engineer will do this as the final step.
Stem Mastering
Stem mastering is where stem tracks are supplied to give the engineer more control. Stem tracks are groups of similar tracks combined e.g. strings, percussion etc. and are usually the product of a mixer's bussed tracks groups.
Note: Stem mastering is limited to max. 8 stems.
