Picture of Unmastered Waveform
Picture of Mastered Waveform
Here's what the wavefrom should look like before and after its mastered. As you can see the waveform after the mastering process has not only affected the whole waveforms amplitude but also the compression and limiting has also changed the look of the waveform.
Tips for sending in your file
1) Dont apply any compression to your output final track, leave that to the mastering engineer, once you have added anything like EQ's or Compresion or any other device on your output track its impossible to work with and could destroy the dynamic range of your work
2) Dont worry too much about the size of your waveform it doesnt have to be brick walled, in fact its better if its not so long as the channels in your mix have all been optimised your getting the best sound you can, we'll take over from there
3) If you're mix is good then the mastering will be excellent, if you're mix is average then the mastering will be average the two are directly proportional, if you want a good mastering job then send in a good mix
4) If you're happy to get feed back about you mix then we're happy to do so and have you tweak it here and there, obviously working together is the best formula to achieve your goals.
5) Recommended File Formats: .Wav files either 16 or 24 bit seem to work the best, obviously the higher the resolution the better ie 24bit.
