MASTERING

• Keep the master bus clean

• Check for clicks, pops & vocal sibilance 

• Check for too loud instruments

• Check for phase correlation

• Check for unwanted sub & high frequencies

• Try to use noise reduction, de-essing & volume automation

• Keep the peaks on the mix bus between -9 to -3dBfs (with master fade at 0 db)

• Don’t up or downsample your files

• Files in 24bit or 32bit & .wav or .aiff

• Make sure that your track has a few seconds silence at the beginning & the end

• Label your files clearly

MIXING

• Label your stems 

• Avoid clipping on your stems

• Provide a reference mixdown

• Send all your send FX as separate stems

• Bounce in 24 bit and .wav or .aiff
