FAQ

Which file formats should I send?
Prefer 24-bit WAV or AIFF without a limiter on the master bus. Higher resolution gives more room to shape final level and clarity.
How long is turnaround?
Typically 2–3 business days. Tight deadline? Express delivery is available.
Can I request changes after the first master?
Yes. We work until you are happy within reasonable revision limits.
