TAPE MASTERING

–PLEASE READ BEFORE ORDERING–

  • After your purchase, check your email for a payment confirmation receipt from PayPal.com
  • Once we receive your payment confirmation, we will get in touch with you via email within 24 hours. Therefore, please make sure that you forwarded the PayPal email from an account you check/use regularly. This is the address we will be replying to you at. (You may also add your phone number to the email, just in case.)
  • While you’re waiting for us to reply, please make sure that your stereo mixdown file is ready to be uploaded, and in the correct format. Here is a quick checklist to make sure that your track is all set to go:
  1. Your master output channel did not distort/clip during the mixdown. (Stayed below 0db)
  2. You did not have any limiters on your master output channel.
  3. You bounced the song/track to a 24 Bit WAV file.

** Please note: We realize that sometimes it’s not possible to have a 24 Bit WAV file that hasn’t been limited from previous, or lost sessions which are no longer accessible. The 3 bullet points above are given as a guide to get the best result possible. However, we master many mix tapes that have vocals recorded on top of poorly mixed mp3 stereo files, and we’re still able to achieve a level of fidelity that keeps our clients happy.

  • When we write back to you, we will be asking you for a reference track. Pick a professional recording/song for us to use so that we can have a better feel for what you’re looking for during the mastering process. It’s important to keep in mind that the elements in your track should be evident in the reference track you’d like us to use as a guide.

 

Other than that, we’d like to thank you again and look forward to making your project something that you will truly be proud of. Something that you could play for any listener with the confidence of knowing that your music is at the highest level of professional audio quality.
