How do I send my mixes?
You can send us your projects through any FTP service, Mega, Wetransfer, Google
Drive, Dropbox…etc.
In what format?
In a stereo interleaved .wav or .aif file. At 24Bits and at the sample rate at which the mix was made.
In analog consult by e-mail previously.
I do not understand RMS. What peak level do I send it to?
We advise peaking to -2dBFs using a TPM meter. If you don’t have a TPM, that is, if what you have is a QPPM, a level of -4dBFs will be an excellent value.

What is DDP?
Audio CD copies are never perfect, and if we gave you a data CD, neither the PQ codes (space between songs) nor the ISRC (a digital code for each song, as if it were a license plate) nor the CD Text would be specified.
DDP files are completely safe as they are checked with MD5 Checksum and include CD Text and PQ, ISRC and MCN codes, making it the most widely used format today
Should I or can I put some compressor in the stereo when I’m mixing?
Yes and no.
During mastering the planes of the instruments always change something even though we try not to, so a compressor-limiter during the mix can help us see how the planes are going to be after mastering, but once decided what the final mix is, it is absolutely necessary to remove that limiter from the chain.
At what volume do I send the mixes?
The RMS of your mix should generally be around -16/-20dBFs.
In meters that follow the AES-17 standard, the equivalent values will be -13/-17dBFs.
How do you return it to me?
According to what is necessary in each case.
If it is going to be released on vinyl, we currently deliver digitally at 24Bits with filters and elliptical equalization applied. We are trying to develop a furrowing machine to be able to deliver the master on acetate disc in the future.
If it is going to be published on CD, we return a DDP.
If it is going to be published on digital platforms, we deliver in Wav, MP4-AAC, MP4 Apple, Lossless…etc.
