What resolution files are accepted?
Atomic M&M accepts WAV (uncompressed), AIF (uncompressed) and MP3 stereo mixes. Bit rates up to 32bit and sample rates up to 192kHz are accepted. Either 24bit or 32bit float and keep the sample rate the same as the session it was mixed in. Changing this to a higher sample rate during the bounce will actually give you a lower resolution mix as a conversion has to happen. Audio Files need to be less than 6 minutes in length. For mastering you’ll want to bounce out stereo interleaved files of your mixes in any of the formats listed above.
What resolution will the mastered files be delivered in?
All mastered files will be supplied as 16bit 44.1kHz WAV files or 24bit 44.1kHz WAV files. In addition you can order MFiT, 48kHz, 24/96 WAV and LUFS normalized files for a small fee.
Do you provide different versions for each streaming service? (spotify, youtube, tidal, apple music, pandora, ect.)
These services will turn down the volume to create a more even listening experience. Therefore it is not necessary to generate separate versions for each streaming service as these volume adjustments will not impact sound quality.
What if I need some alternate resolution files for some reason?
You can request additional files through the contact page for a small fee. Please include your order number and we will be happy to provide any file types you need. Please allow 48 hours for delivery.
Should I fade my files before sending them?
For mixing and mastering no. For Mastering only yes. For the best results make sure your files are trimmed and faded the way you’d like them before sending to for mastering only.
How long will you keep my files?
We will keep your mixes and masters on our system for one (1) year. After one year we will remove your mixes and masters from our system completely. Our website will indicate that mixes and masters older than one (1) year are removed.
