FAQ
What format should I send?
WAV 24-bit, 2–4 dB headroom, no limiter on the master bus, no dither.
What’s the difference between mixing and mastering?
Mixing takes individual tracks and creates a stereo mix. Mastering takes that stereo mix and makes it release-ready — optimised for loudness, translation, and your chosen format.
Do I need different masters for different platforms?
Usually not. One master works everywhere. Add-ons are available for radio, vinyl, or CD.
