How To Prepare Your Tracks For MASTERING
I get asked this a fair bit by my clients so I thought it might be useful to put together a video answering many of the most-asked questions about how to prepare your tracks for mastering.
Below are some time stamps in case you want to jump to the most useful section.
I'm planning to cover which format is best to use, whether you should leave on mix bus processing. how much headroom to leave and lots more!
00:11 - 1. Which FORMAT should you provide your mix in?
01:22 - 2. Should I leave MIX BUS PROCESSING on?
03:02 - 3. How much HEADROOM should I leave?
03:53 - 4. What if the mix is CLIPPING?
04:39 - 5. Should I provide STEMS?
05:30 - 6. Should I provide REFERENCES?
06:49 - 7. Is mastering different for CD, STREAMING, and VINYL?
08:33 - 8. What about embedding ISRC CODES?
09:33 - Brief SUMMARY

Haha most of the time you don’t need to think about it. If you’re using digital distributors it’s already dealt with really
