STEP 1

Make sure that the level of your Track Peaks somewhere between

-6 and -3dB (do not peak over -3db!)

If the Peak Level of your Track is higher than -3dB, it is best to reduce

each tracks level rather than to just drop the master fader

Leave some silence at the beginning and at the end of your Track (3 Bars)

STEP 5

Make sure that there are no effects on your Master Bus

If there is something on your Master Bus that you think you cannot live without,

send your Mastering Engineer 2 versions

A No FX Mix and an FX Mix and let your Mastering Engineer know what the effect is

STEP 6

Bounce your track in the Format that you worked in ( 44.1 khz 24bit MINIMUM )

if you worked at 48 khz 24 bit then bounce your track at 48 khz 24 bit

if your track is at 44.1khz 24bit then bounce your track at 44.1khz 24bit

STEP 7

make sure not to Normalize or to apply any Dither when you Bounce or Export

STEP 8

put the song or songs into a zip folder
