What To Supply For Mastering

Please supply mixes with the following specs
File type WAV. These are the best kind of files
to supply as they are uncompressed, full
resolution audio files. Bit Rate 24bit (or
32bit float) Sampling Rate 44.1, 48, 88.2 or
96kHz(the sample rate should be the same as that
of the orignal multi-track project)

We prefer you zip
We prefer you zip all your mixes up in one
folder, as this makes it much easier for us to
keep track of your project. You can upload your
mixes here Crystal Mastering Drop-box

It helps to number your mixes so we know where to
place the song on the final master

Its a good idea to leave at least one second
Its a good idea to leave at least one second of
silence at the beginning of all songs when you
output your final mix. Some audio applications
can clip the very start of your mix when
rendering the final bounce.

If possible, avoid providing mixes
If possible, avoid providing mixes with limiting
or maximising plugins on the master fader as
this can greatly hinder our efforts to provide
you with the best possible sounding master.
