PRODUCTION MASTERS

Master delivery is carried out via DISCO. Prior to the delivery of final production masters, we will often share reference masters with you for your review (_REF).

Below are our format offerings for final production masters. All formats are available upon request and their delivery will not incur an additional charge. 

_DIGITAL

By default, every project includes delivery of:

_RQMSTR-9624: Hi-Res 24-bit 96kHz .wav files for high-resolution distribution outlets like Distrokid, Apple Hi-Res Lossless, Tidal, and Amazon Music. These are versatile files that may be employed across a wide range of digital distribution platforms that accept high resolution files. 

  • _RQMSTR-ADM: Hi-Res 24-bit 96kHz .wav files formatted and leveled for Apple Digital Masters

  • _RQMSTR-4416: standard resolution 16-bit 44.1kHz .wav files for standard streaming services and distribution outlets that do not accept high resolution files

  • _RQMSTR-9632FP: 96kHz .wav files at a 32-bit float suitable for digital archival or creative purposes

  • _RQMSTR-DDP: a .DDP image containing your project with the proper sequencing and metadata for CD-R manufacturing.

_VINYL

Includes delivery of 32-bit 96kHz Hi-Res .wav files for sides A and B as well as a .PDF cue sheet for vinyl manufacturing. This file should remain zipped until it is received by the vinyl manufacturer.

Final track sequencing, side break, and titles should be provided to us prior to project completion.

_ALT

Many commercial placements require alternate mix versions for various media applications (instrumental, a capella, radio edit, clean version, etc). Alternate mixes should be provided by the project’s mix engineer.

Includes delivery of 24-bit 96kHz .wav files for various digital media applications.
