Your Mastering Session

Notes from Tom:
Many clients choose to attend their mastering session, and this certainly aids the discussion of mastering goals. Even if attending is not possible, providing me with an overall concept or aesthetic sense for your project will help immensely. We'll talk about your project before the session, and if there are any "peer" recordings you particularly like, mention them or bring them to the session.

Please Provide:
~ Original masters of your mixes (make copies before sending anything!)
We can accept virtually any format, including:

16 bit DAT  ~  24 bit DAT  ~  CD-R and DVD  ~  Analog open reel w/ Dolby A/SR 1/4" - 1/2" ~ ProTools Session ~ Digital Performer Projects

~ Tape/CD log with titles and timings.
~ Editing and Sequencing instructions.
~ Artist, project title, and contact info.

When the session is complete...

We Will Provide:
* A reference CD for your review, with complete log and timings.
* Masters for CD manufacture can be either pre-master CD, DVD or DAT.

Upon the approval of your reference, masters will be shipped to you or your duplication facility, with complete logs and timings.

It Is quite common for changes and revisions to occur, and more than one Reference CD to be generated. Often, the initial reference disc is the artist's first chance to hear the project as a complete work, particularly if much editing has been done. Changes in sequence and adjustments to levels are common occurrences, and generally easy to effect. To facilitate these changes, or provide replacement masters, Ultimate Audio makes and retains a DVD archive.
