headroom

  • turn off any normalization before sending mixes

  • turn off any heavy compression or limiting on your mix buss

  • if possible, deliver mixes with at least 6 db of headroom, i can essentially work with whatever you send as long as it’s not clipping, but ideally the more headroom, the better.

bit rates & sampling

  • export your files at the same sample and bit rate as your original mix session and recordings

  • Use 24-Bit Depth. downsampling for cd releases can easily be applied in the mastering stage

misc.

  • deliver files as .wav or aiff

  • include detailed notes

  • point out concerns. If there is something in your mix you’d like to specifically address, let me know!
