I take pride in delivering professional and crystal-clear results that make your music truly shine.

Technical Requirements

Dear clients,
To achieve the best possible results, please pay attention to these important guidelines before sending your files for mastering:

  1. Bit depth: The higher, the better. Ideally, please send 32-bit float files. 24-bit files are also accepted. Please avoid sending 16-bit files unless it’s your only option.

  2. Sample rate: 44,100 Hz, 48,000 Hz, or 96,000 Hz.

  3. File formats: WAV (.wav) or AIFF (.aif) only.
    MP3 files are not accepted (exceptions can be made only if MP3 is the only available format).

  4. Compression/Limiting:
    Very important: Lower the volume on your master bus fader to around -3 dB peak. Disable all limiters, maximizers, and finalizers on your master bus. The average loudness should not exceed -15 dB RMS. Minimal peak limiting is allowed if you know exactly what you’re doing.

  5. Dithering:
    Please do not apply dithering.

  6. Fades:
    If possible, avoid adding fade-ins or fade-outs—I will handle this with precision.

  7. File naming:
    Please include your artist name and song title in the file name, for example:
    depeche mode – enjoy the silence.wav

Providing a reference track (an example of how you want your music to sound) is highly recommended and will make the process much smoother.
