requirements
for an efficient mastering work
We can perform most efficiently adding the benefits of the analog domain to your music if our input material meets the following requirements:
|
- the songs should be completely premixed and edited so we only have to import them and run it over our equipment with a minimum of adjustments and corrections. |
|
- divide your songs in a maximum of eight stereo tracks with a common starting point. Choose the separation of the single tracks by instrument groups, for example drums on one track, vocals on one track, then pads, leads etc. You can imagine those groups as bricks that should be arranged in the sound space clearly separated from each other. In any case of doubt you can also hand over more tracks so we will decide what is best. |
|
- you can provide the tracks in the original relationship of panorama, volume and also all effects on belonging to them (but only the effects that belong to signal sources of the included tracks, no foreign ones). |
|
- let the loudest track be at -6 to -3 dBFS (dBFS: 0 dB = full scale) at his peak point, the quietest should not be less than -40 dBFS at his peak point. If one is though then scale up this one to the maximum (-6 to -3 dBFS). |
|
- provide the tracks with a minimum quality of 24 Bit / 44,1 kHz |
|
- also provide a complete mix down of your premix for the idea of what it should sound like. |
|
Of cause we can also cope with material that is already mixed to one track and still add the PTR-cream. We also can do the whole editing and premixing followed up by the mix down and master. And of cause we can do anything in between so don't hesitate to come up with special questions that may be related to your work - we will find an answer. |
