excellent. thanks for the advice. this is a few years down the road for me but it is good to be prepared.patrick bateman wrote:When you're just sending the demo, just send a MP3 file, or CD. There you should just make sure your track sounds good so here you can use some mastering chain or what ever to make it sound nice, but when you're actually sending the 24bit file to the label after signing, then don't use mastering/compressor/limiter on master output. That's a no-go if the label will have it mastered by a professional mastering studio before cut.
(of course if the label require you to deliver a mastered file, because they're just doing a 1:1 cut, then you should master it)
