Music project of Leigh Devlin, engineer, Blue Steel Mastering.
We are happy to work with all lossless file formats - including aif, wav etc. To keep things simple, we usually recommend 24 bit, 44.1 Khz mixes.
We request that all mixes sent to us have at least 6dB headroom - this enables us to get the best possible sound from your track.
We do not advise that you send files of a compressed nature - ie mp3 - as the sound of your track may have already been compromised by the conversion process. If this is unavoidable, we can, and have mastered from mp3 with satisfactory results, but bear in mind, our hands are tied somewhat!
