How to Best Deliver Your Project for Mastering

First, consult our list of supported formats and delivery mediums, here. We can work from any materials on that list.

On that entire list, there are only 2 formats which we feel consistently provide excellent audio performance, these are 1/2" analog 30 ips stereo tape and 24 bit digital audio. Both are highly recommended. Our analog deck is the legendary Ampex ATR 102 with 1/2" Flux Magnetic extended response heads and 1/4" heads, so you can count on the highest quality analog playback. For 24 bit files, you would need to bring us a CD-ROM (not a CD Audio!!) or perhaps a hard drive or removable media. We now also offer convenient web-based upload and FTP of your files, so if you have a FAST internet connection it may be reasonable to just transfer them here over the net.

Of course we support 16 bit DAT and CD Audio, we are merely recommending our favorite sources to work from, for the highest quality. In addition to the list of formats we support, remember that if you have the deck to play back your mix, however custom or obscure, we can work from it, just bring it to the session (please do make advance arrangements though, so we can be sure to interface correctly with your equipment).
