We understand the desire to rush and play your
final mix for people, and the desire to make it as loud as possible.
Well...do your thing with that, but PLEASE ask your audio engineer
to make a straight up version of the mix with no master bus processing.
(ie no compressors, limiters, eqs, etc inserted into the stereo
mix signal path.) Once again, DO NOT max out the levels
on this version. Give us about 8-10 db of headroom for
usto makeyour final master sound stellar. Then you can make another
version to play for friends etc, and feel free to try your own
hand at mastering on this copy.
Including a song reference of a cd that you like is always a
good idea and helps us to pinpoint what you want your finished
master to sound like, |
|
Compressing or equalizing the audio twice may reduce the fidelity
of your music. Aim to have your average peak levels between -8
dB and -10 dB
digital full scale. Note .. if you do not understand what
this means, ask your engineer for all necessary information.
If you do not have your audio in the conditions listed above,
do not worry, we can work with virtually anything be it an audio
CD, computer file, or even mp3. If any of the information
above confuses you, do not hesitate to give
us a call, or ask your local audio engineer to decode.
