HOW TO PREPARE AND EXPORT FILES
MIXING
- Export your tracks as 64, 32, 24 or 16 bit wav/aif files starting from zero point ie beginning of the song.
- Don't change sample rate. For example if you recorded the music 44100hz keep it there. Same with all sample rates.
- Export mono tracks as MONO and stereo tracks as STEREO.
- Put all guitars and synths on separate tracks.
- Export gitars in mono panned to center (except if there is printed stereo effects like stereo delay etc.)
- If you have vst plugins on tracks you can export both effected and raw tracks and make text-file of vst's settings for me. In most cases it's best to set vst plugins' settings during the mixing process.
- Leave few dbs headroom to avoid clipping.
- Export synths and software drums as an audio files. Drums on separate track each.(Additional midi file can help in some situations.)
- If songs have in the box drums I like them separated in room, overheads, snare, kick, individual toms and more if possible.
- Recorded drums each mic in own mono track. If you edit dums by yourself make sure you make the edits on all drum tracks same time. Don't clean up bleed on tom, snare or kick tracks.
- If songs are recorded to grid create and export tempo track or other information of tempo and tempo changes.
- Before sending files check them through.
- You can include rough mixes of the songs to give guidelines.
- Put each song in own folder. No sub-folders. Compress to zip/rar if needed.
MASTERING
- Export full mix or stems as 64, 32 or 24 bit (wav or aif).
- Don't change the sample rate. For example if you recorded the music 44100hz keep it there. Same with all sample rates.
- Export without any mastering plugins you might have used during mixing (compressors, limiters, EQs etc).
- Leave few dbs headroom to avoid clipping.
- If songs are recorded to grid create and export tempo track or other information of tempo and tempo changes.
- Include text file of track order, album title and possible ISRC and EAN codes. Add also information about in what format the music is going to be published. CD, vinyl, mp3, streaming services etc.
- After mastering you'll get songs in following formats:
- -16 bit wav
- -24 bit wav
- -32 bit wav (no dithering)
- -24 bit wav vinyl master
- -16 bit wav modded for streaming services
- -320 kbps mp3
- -DDP file for CD
- You get also tracks as unmastered version if I did the mixing.
- (Optional master CD for $25 including postage.)
I strive to start mixing as soon as possible after I've received the songs. I don't use any presets or templates. I start from scratch every time and treat every mix in different way depending of what you want your music to sound like. It can take from couple of days to one week to make the first mix depending on how I have time.
If you want I can do free one minute long sample mix of one song to show the quality before payment.
