24 Bit Mastering (Per Track)
How should I send my music?
To ensure the best possible outcome when preparing your music for a hand-cut record, please follow these guidelines:
File Format and Bit Depth:
Provide your music as a .WAV file with a 24-bit depth. This will ensure the highest sound quality and preserve the nuances of your audio without unnecessary compression artifacts.
Headroom and Dynamics:
Ideally, submit a premaster or a mix with headroom. This means there should be enough dynamic range to allow for proper mastering adjustments without distortion. Avoid heavy compression or a limiter that could squash the dynamic range.
Avoiding Distortion:
If the master is too loud or over-compressed, the cutting process may require reducing the overall volume to avoid distortion. A more dynamic and balanced master will allow for a louder, cleaner cut.
