Multitrack prep
-
Name each audio file clearly (eg. Lead Vox, BV 1, Kick Sub etc.).
-
Audio files must start from the start point of the song.
-
Make sure files do not clip.
-
Remove all effects and processing plugins before printing. If there is an effect you want included, please provide two versions: one with effects and one dry.
-
All files must be WAV or AIFF files. Any midi tracks will need to be printed.
-
Files must be 44.1, 48, 88.2 or 96Khz and have 16, 24 or 32bit depth.
-
Create a separate zipped file for each song, clearly labeled with song title (and track #, if known).

-

-

-
A rough mix of each song (this can be included in the zipped file).
-
References (if any) – Spotify links are perfect for this.
