General Audio Guidelines

  • Make all your mutes and un-mutes part of the audio files, not automation. If you don't want it in the mix, then I don't want it in the mix.
  • Include a rough mix of your song. It is important for me to have your mix along with your comments about what you like and don't like in what you've been listening to.
  • Include any reference tracks from other artists that you would like us to use as a "target." Anything that helps us understand the way you hear your song in your head will help us bring it to life!
  • If a plug-in is an important part of the sound of a track (like a filtered vocal or guitar flange), please bounce or merge the track as a processed audio file. Please don't send a session with plug-ins in it.
