DO'S &
DON'TS (GUIDELINES)
To ensure the highest possible quality,
here are some all important do's and don'ts to consider:
1. The quality of your mixes is very
important, so remember that if your mixes are unbalanced and bad
quality, there is very little that mastering can do to improve it.
2. Your final mixes should not have any
additional processing such as: Normalising, Equalisation,
Compression, Limiting or Finalizing. All of these elements will be
added during the mastering process.
3.
We accept any of the following high quality audio file formats:
WAV,
AIFF,
SDII
at 16 or 24 bit sample rates, or higher. [ Note: We do not
accept
MP3
or
WMA files as they are of a compressed, substandard quality and
not suitable for high end mastering.]
4.
We recommend that if you intend to compress your audio files prior
to uploading, that you use the Windows RAR/Winzip format which can
compress your files without loss of quality.

The most important person to us is you
and we need to know exactly what your expectations are of the music
you are sending to us. Music is subjective and therefore the more
guidance we have from you at the beginning, the better the end
result. So we ask you to take the time to fill out the Special
Instructions portion of your on-line order form and up-load page. To listen to
