HOW TO SUBMIT YOUR MIXES FOR MASTERING
It helps to have as much information as possible about the mixing process for a project. Here is a list of how to submit your mixes.
1. Sources in either stereo interleaved or multi-mono (left and right).
2. .wav or .aif files in whatever sample rate and bit depth they were mixed in.
3. Versions of mixes with additional buss processing (ie. Limiting) used for listening/mix approval.
4. Specify if this process was added after the mixing stage for approval purposes or if it was active throughout the mixing process and influenced the balance decisions.
5. As well as being geared for stereo, we are also currently geared for the immersive formats of Dolby Atmos, and Sony 360. If you would like to book an immersive mastering session we would need the stem mixes that represent the immersive mix choices.
ISRC CODES
These codes allow your music to be tracked when played on the radio or downloaded. We do not need the codes before the mastering. They are needed to embed in the final DDPi for CD manufacturing. Please visit the website below for more information and an application to get ISRC codes.
Once you apply, please do not forward your registrant code to us. You will be provided with specific and clear instructions on how to create and assign your ISRC codes. You will need to submit to us your final track list with the code that corresponds to each song.
As a new registrant, the ISRC code format will be: XX-XXX-20-XXXXX (Country Code – Registrant Code – Release Year – Track Number.) The track numbers will begin with 00001, 00002, 00003, etc.
