interesting
Do we send you the parts of the tracks, i.e. Drums.wav, Bass.wav, vocals.wav etc
or the track as a whole finished song.wav
Looking forward to checking out the mastering service

Hi Rosco, for regular mastering just send a stereo wav/aiff @ the highest quality you can. No mix limiters please, or I start to cry.
What you're talking about with sending vocals etc. separately is called stem mastering. I do offer that, but it's a lot more money.
In general, if your mix is decent a stereo wave will be dope!
If you're unsure of your mix then I offer a mix evaluation service for £5, where I get really anal about what you should do to your track. As far as I know we are the only suites to offer this service (wait for the copycats...)
Best,
Loz.
p.s. Sorry for the blatant self pimping, but I just received this rather nice testimonial from Richard Rogers, ex-head of A&R for Warner Chappell, & thought I'd share -
In my 25 years within the Music Industry as an A&R man, producer, songwriter, record company owner, lecturer and consultant i've had the opportunity of working with some excellent Mastering Engineers. Lawrence I can safely say is one of the best. His understanding of mastering coupled with his easy going approach, flexibilty and quality of work at a decent price make him an absolute treasure to work with in his particular field. I can't recommend him enough. - Richard Rogers www.maltamusiccourses.com

Thanks Loz, i'm very interested and can see you clearly know your stuff, which is a hell of a lot more than me.
When you say mix limiter, would that mean for example an 'Ad limiter' on the main output? I shall remove this before sending .wav
Thanks

Hi Rosco,
by "mix limiter" I mean any limiter (I.E. "ultramaximizers" or "loudness boosters" etc.) on the main output - anything that basically chops the peaks off the waveform & makes it look like a brick! The final stereo waveform should resemble the shape of some gently rolling hills sorta thing.
I often get asked similar questions actually. To clarify:
Specifically on the mix bus (the main output channel) is where this is all important, as sometimes it might be cool to limit/compress the fuck out of an individual sound in the mix for an effect, so anything like that is fine from a mastering engineers point of view. As long as it works in your mix it works for me!
But yes, please remove all limiters &/or heavy ratio compression from the main out/mix bus.
