Book ahead

admin — Thu, 08 Dec 2011 06:34:02 +0000

• During peak periods throughout the year demand is high and waiting times can be as long as a month.
We recommend that you book in advance, taking into consideration the delivery date for pressing,
factoring in a few days latitude to listen to the final master before it goes off to the plant.

A helpful way to communicate your desires to the mastering engineer
is to bring along records which you feel are good examples of the vibe,
aesthetic and level you wish to achieve.
They will also serve as a reference point for you in an unfamiliar listening environment.

Stem Mastering

admin — Thu, 08 Dec 2011 06:32:57 +0000

• Where necessary it is possible to master from a stems version of the
mix down. This allows for dynamic, level and eq adjustment beyond
the scope of a stereo mastering session
(and of course is a longer, more time consuming approach)

Alternate mixes

admin — Thu, 08 Dec 2011 06:32:24 +0000

• If you are uncertain as to the level of the vocal in your mix, bring alter
nate versions; Ex, vocal 1 dB up, vocal 1.5 dB down, etc.

Editing, Sequencing And Fades

admin — Thu, 08 Dec 2011 06:30:31 +0000

Album ‘pacing”
• sequencing, song transitions and fades are a standard part of the
mastering process. However, if pacing and fades have already been
decided, or in the context of a live recording or dj mix session, the
sequenced album can be brought as a continuous data file
(if you are not completely certain about your fades bring the
unrendered audio files also)

Sample Rates, Wordlength And File Formats

admin — Thu, 08 Dec 2011 06:30:07 +0000

• For software mixdown (.aiff, .wav, .sdll )
use 24 bit files where possible
• Avoid sample rate conversion and wordlength reduction (and dither!),
mixdown at same sample rate as mix session

Mix Eq

admin — Thu, 08 Dec 2011 06:29:43 +0000

• Use eq judiciously on your final mix, remaining aware of the
limitations of your monitoring.
• Avoid excessive high mid and high frequency boosts, particularly
in the case of digital eq (as a general rule, it is more efficient and
more musical to open the top end of a mix appropriately at mastering,
rather than attempt to control excessive harshness and sibilance
while maintaining clarity)
*vocal sibilance is best control at the source

Mix Bus Compression

admin — Thu, 08 Dec 2011 06:15:09 +0000

• If you mix into a bus compressor do so to achieve balance and
glue, and not for level
• Allow the mastering engineer the latitude to appropriately compress
your mixes ( or not! ), using the best sounding gear available. Eq can
be modified, but over or inappropriate compression cannot be undone.
