Booking Mastering
My way of mastering is always respectful with the original mix.
The first time you work with me, we will search together for your sound and will take the mixes to their full potential.
If you request it, I will analyze and evaluate your mix before doing the mastering. In this way I will be able to understand your sound and I will also tell you about the points that can be improved to make an even better master.
If you have any additional questions or suggestions, you can leave them in the project comment.
What happens next?
We will solve any doubt or suggestion you have and we will prepare a tailored budget without commitment.

Deadlines
The deadlines depend to a large extent on the fluidity and communication that we have.
Usually for a new client there is usually some revision until we find the sound they are looking for and to a large extent the times depend on the volume of work that we have in this moment. Personally, once we start working, I like to maintain communication so that the work is fluid.
For regular customers I already know perfectly well their sound, tastes and preferences, the time for the entire process is usually less than a week from receipt of the material.
Budget
The budget is valid for one month. After this time you must request a new budget. Offers and conditions may vary.
Reception of the material
From the reception of the material and the payment, the project is scheduled. If you have requested feedback on the mix, you will have it in about three days.
Delivery of the mastering
You will have your complete mastering in one week (48h if you have requested an express service), counting from the receipt of the revised material.
Revisions
After receiving your master you will have a week to listen to it and comment on the revisions you consider. Once you send me the necessary modifications, it will be made within a maximum period of three days (24 hours if you have requested the express service).
3D Audio
The terms of this service vary depending on the number of songs, tracks and service chosen. That is why I will assess each job individually, giving deadlines that adjust as far as possible to your expectations.
Delivery Recommendations
Stereo Mastering
Wav files same sample rate as the original project. Preferably 32 BITs Float, in any case at least 24 BITs.
Peaks should not exceed -3 dBFS. If you have any processor on the master bus to make it louder (compression or limited), send to us two versions, one as is and one without those processes.
DDP
If you are going to make CDs and need a DDP, send me the “labelcopy” or the metadata exactly as you want it on the disc (Artist, Title of the disc, Titles and order of the songs and EAN/UPC and ISRC codes.
Stereo Mix
Wav files same sample rate as the original project. Preferably 32 BITs Float, in any case at least 24 BITs.
For mixes from scratch, send all the audio as it is, only with sound design effects (delays, flangers and modulation, distortion…). In case of Stem Mixing, separate reverb and delay effect stems, do not render them in the same file. Except there are sound design effects.
Dolby Atmos
For Mastering Atmos mixes, send the Wav BWF ADM in a ZIP. The sample rate must be 48 KHz and the bit rate at least 24 BITs.
For Upmix from stereo, make sure that once the stems are exported, when placed in a new project, the song sounds the same as the original mix. It is important to keep the sound of the original mix processing buses and master bus. If the music has already been released, we need the original stereo masters.
