WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:
Please submit professionally mixed WAV or AIFF files at 24-bit / 44.1 kHz or higher. We recommend leaving around 6 dB of headroom and avoiding heavy limiting, clipping, or excessive compression on the mix bus. Light mix-bus processing is acceptable if it is part of the sound. Please do not send MP3 files for mastering.
