The Rules:
If you send me anything, send me an email a first letting me know what you’ve got and what you need done.
All session files must be Pro Tools sessions saved in “latest” format.
All sessions must be zipped and sent via yousendit, sendspace, megaupload, or something similar.
All mixed tracks for mastering have to be auditioned first for suitability. Some stuff just can’t be fixed,
ya know?
50% deposit must be received before work begins. From time payment clears, work is usually turned around within 48 hours for single song projects.
When I’m done with a few drafts, I’ll send you some high quality mp3 samples. Once you approve your proofs, your WAV masters will be sent once final payment is accepted.
Deposits are non-refundable.
All paypal payments add 2% for processing.

Tips:
Stereo files sent for mastering should have at least 6 dB of clean headroom. The more headroom, the more I can do with it.
Stereo files sent for mastering should also be 24 bit @ either 44.1kHz, 48kHz, 88.2kHz, or 96kHz sample rates.
If you have stems for your track, I recommend sending those along with your stereo mixdown for mastering. I can do a lot with stems.
Reference tracks are always appreciated.
