Amalthea Mixing/Mastering Studio Venice When preparing your files for mixing and mastering, it's essential to ensure the format and organization are spot-on. Here's a guide to how I prefer to receive your files: Audio Files as WAV Export all individual audio files or stems as WAV files. Use the same sample rate and bit depth as the original recording session. My recommendation: Sample Rate: 44.1 kHz Bit Depth: 24-bit (16 bit files will be automatically rejected) MIDI Instruments If you're working with MIDI instruments like bass or drums, you can send these as MIDI files, which I can import into software such as Kontakt. Synths and Strings Synths and string sections should be exported as audio files. Ensure each instrument is on its own track. For example: Violins, cellos, piano, and trumpets should all be exported separately as individual files. Naming Your Files Give your files clear and practical names. Good Examples: "Sn T" for Snare Top or "Gtr Lead" for Guitar Lead Avoid: Creative or cryptic names like "Diddle-diddle-diddliddle" or random lyrics. Names should be functional and recognizable, even for someone unfamiliar with your music. Stems for Live Use or Backing Tracks If you need stems for a live setup or backing tracks, this should be arranged during the mixing process. Multiple Songs in One Session If you're sending multiple songs, there are two ways to organize them: Export all tracks for each song separately, keeping them in individual sessions. Export everything as one long session. For example: if Song 1 lasts 4 minutes and Song 2 lasts 3 minutes, all tracks should stretch to a total of 7 minutes. In this case, ensure the MIDI aligns with tempo changes and everything is correctly positioned on the timeline.
