FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

                                                               What format should i supply the source material on?

           Either an audio or data cd.  Preferably a data cd with files stored as 24bit wavs. These can easily be                      imported into the workstation, thus reducing the initial load time.  Our main preference is for you to upload              your 24bit files to our server, as we can work on them straight away.  Your mastered material can be                           downloaded by you for approval before a master gold cd is sent out. Please see our File Transfer page.                   Other mediums such as DAT require realtime loading of the information and are charged at £25 per hour.

                                                             What is the final master supplied on?

         The final master is supplied on the highest quality Taiyo Yuden Gold Master cdr. This is for replication                        purposes only. You will be supplied with a listening copy for evaluation.

                                                                       Can i attend the session?

         Our sessions are unattended. Therefore we encourage clients to send us clear instructions as to their                   mastering needs.  Track listings, edit requirements, fades and any other client suggestions need to be sent               with the original material.  We can further discuss your requirements by phone.  If you require an attended                session, please phone for booking details and allow a week’s notice before the session.

                                                               How long does the process take?

         Please allow 2 to 3 days for cd singles, EP’s and up to a week for albums. We will spend the required                       amount of time making sure your tracks sound the best they can.  If required you can download the                        mastered tracks for evaluation at any time.  (please note these will have a test tone or sample dialogue                   embedded at some point in the track to distinguish it as an evaluation track).  The final master cd will only                   be released once payment has been made.

                     Can i preview your service before deciding on getting an album mastered?

           Yes.  We can master one track of your choice (or ours if you prefer) and upload it for you to evaluate, and               decide if you would like to go further with the project.  This way you can play the mastered track on a variety           of different systems, before committing to a decision.  (The track will have a test tone or dialogue embedded)

                                                       Why should we use Sonicmastering?

           Because we are small independent company who are striving to make mastering affordable to everyone.                  Unsigned bands, songwriters and anyone on a tight budget. We appreciate the last thing you want to do                  after you’ve blown your budget already on a good recording studio, is to have to shell out loads more for                 high quality mastering. We have tried to price our services to fit the budgets of most unsigned bands out                  there.

           Because our engineers are friendly, helpful and have many years experience in the professional audio world.            They also have great ears.  We hope you will agree.
