Whether your music features live instruments and performers or if it has been created totally in the digital domain, it’s more important than ever to have your tracks professionally mastered. Having the highly trained set of ears of an Online Studios engineer analyze, and adjust your recordings is both easy and affordable.
How many revisions would be normal?
For mastering I have a very close to 100% acceptance rate of the first delivery.
For mixing, I expect to do at least one revision, sometimes there will be a handful.
How many revisions can I get if?
If you would like changes, you’ll get revisions until you are totally happy.

In what format should I provide my tracks?
Do not limit or over compress your tracks or push them to 0db, we require your recordings to be a maximum of -3db and no lower than -6db.
Please provide your audio at the original settings from your recording session or software DAW e.g. if you have recorded at 16 bit/ 44.1khz you should provide files at this setting.
We recommend you use the following settings for the best results:
File Type: WAV / AIF
Bit Rate: 24 Bit
Sample Rate: 44.1 / 48 kHz
