There is nothing more powerful than the sound of your own voice ringing strong and true.🎤
Mastering is a transparent and objective ENHANCEMENT process that optimizes tracks for distribution.
Mastered tracks are clearer, wider, punchier, and LOUDER while maintaining dynamic range and character.
Mastered tracks are optimized for Streaming, CDs, vinyl pressing, cassettes & Clubs/DJs.
Mixing is a musical and subjective BALANCING process that allows headroom for Mastering.
Bounce Your Mix at -3dB to -6dB WAV or AIFF file; No Dither; No Normalizing
Native sample rate preferred
16-bit/44.1 kHz or 24-bit/48 kHz
*REMOVE ANY LIMITER OR MAXIMIZER PLUG-INS from the Master Bus of your mix.
Reference Tracks: Provide a few fave songs that I can use to match tone, energy and loudness.
Please provide ISRC and UPC Codes as soon as possible.
The ISRC is your Sound/Video Recording Identifier. The International Standard Recording Code (ISRC) is the standard unique international identifier for sound and music video recording itself. The ISRC is tied to the recording in the track and not the carrier of the track (CD/Vinyl/Digital Album or individual digital sound/video file).
The UPC is your Release Identifier. The Universal Product Code (UPC) is the standard unique identifier for the release that carries your audio or video performance(s). The UPC may identify a single, an EP, an LP and the various versions thereof (digital download, CD, vinyl, tape, or DVD).
You can get both the required ISRC and UPC codes at ISRC.com (Source ISRC website)
