AIFF, BWF, or WAV files:I can deal with any of the usual formats (44.1k up to 96k, 16 or 24 bit)You can get them to me on a disc (CDr or DVDr) in the post: 12 Queens Rd Barnet Herts EN5 4DG Or you can use one of the many FTP services (to andy@tubemastering.com): www.sendspace.com and www.yousendit.com both work well. It's wise to ZIP the files first, they don't really get any smaller but the zipping provides an error checker. |

Analogue tape. 1/2", 1/4", 30ips or 15ips:MAKE SURE you include alignment tones. 1kHz, 10kHz and 100Hz are a minimum. Ideally 15kHz and 50Hz as well.Let me know if you use noise reduction (Dolby A or SR). In my opinion, analogue is still a great sounding format. Nothing sounds as 'dense' as tape. Don't dismiss 1/4", with modern low noise tape this is a perfectly acceptable format (and you can pick up a used first class machine for the price of a DAT machine!) |

DAT:Try to have start IDs on all the songs. BACK IT UP BEFORE YOU COME. Unfortunately DAT tapes do very occasionally get chewed. It never was intended as a professional format! |
|
Audio CD:If that's what you've got, we can use it. This and DAT are only 16bit , so data files are preferable. |
|
Other formats:Phone me. We can always sort something out. |

I've equipped my room with the best sounding equipment I can find and put it all in an excellent acoustic environment with superb sounding cables and the like. It's very tempting to try a master yourself, but maybe it would be wiser to give me the mix how it was before you made it 'better'! particularly in terms of limiting, don't worry about trying to make your mix as loud as the CD of somebody you want to sound like, that's definitely best left to mastering. See the "loud" section of this site for more on this. |
