Tips In Preparing Music For Online Song Mastering

By Laura Gallagher


When it comes to preparing songs for online song mastering, the first thing to remember is to mix the songs properly. He should make it sound like how he would want it to be in its final format. If the person has no idea how to mix songs, do research.

If the person's songs are not yet mixed, he should make sure that they are mixed down to their stereo format. This is usually at 44.1 khz or 48 khz. In this, the 24 bit wav is the most popular one being used nowadays.

After that, he should decide whether to send the mixed tape to a facility who can master the tape or if he will do it himself. For the former, one has pay to up master the songs. However, personally doing it means the person will have to get a powerful audio editor with the necessary tools and plugins.

The track should be sent to the audio editing tool's DAW. There should be plugins available for the person's use in order to properly master the track. He might need the parametric EQ, master limiting, and stereo field enhancement plugins.

Get to work immediately. Listen to the sound properly. Of course, he has to master the track until he is satisfied with the result. If he is, he should then render it. See to it that the mastered track is rendered to another stereo file.

Be sure to open the newly created stereo file to his DAW in a new project after. This time, he has to see to it that there are no clippings on the track. The clippings actually refer to those signal levels that go beyond -0.1 decibels.

With this part, he has already finished doing the online song mastering on his own. He is then ready to distribute his music to other people. All that is left to do now is to record the track to his own CD, to a music video, or to an MP3.
