Mixdown Information

Some useful tips for optimum mixdown results:

• On stereo output: If buss compression or limiting is used, we recommend
  a max. gain reduction of 2.0 dB and max. compression ratio of 2.5:1
• On stereo output: No editing of stereo balance/spread or phase
• On Stereo output: No use of fades or gates
• Peak level: Maximum level should be at -3.0 dB, no higher!
• Normalization: Don't normalise the track(s) once the mixdown is complete
• Mixdown resolution: We can handle resolutions from 44.1 kHz to 192 kHz
• Mixdown bit depth: 16-bit, 24-bit or 32 bit depth
• Recommended mixdown bit depth: 24-bit
• File formats: We accepted *.wav, *.aiff or *.bwf
• Delivery: To send it via post, it's best to burn your track(s) on a data disk
• In the case of an audio disk, add 2 to 3 seconds of silence before and after
• Audio disks: Please make sure you use quality audio disks only
• Disk burning: Lower speeds are recommended like 16x, 8x or 4x
• No MP3's for mastering please, even if MP3 will be the final format!
