Alternate Versions

I also offer additional versions of a same track. They are called "Alternate Versions". Versions Alternatives« . 

These can be: Edit, Radio Edit, Club, Mix Dub, Playback, Instrumental, Extended, Censored versions...

Également, cela peut être des fichiers crées pour d’autres formats « de sortie » que le format initial prévu. En effet, il est important de tenir compte des limitations liées à chaque format de sortie.  En Mastering on cherche à améliorer le rendu sonore du signal en tenant compte des contraintes techniques que suscite le format. L’attention est donc requise pour chaque format considéré.

Apple Digital Masters

Moreover, I'm offering the "Apple Digital Masters" option, which formerly stood under the name of "Mastered for iTunes" compliance. These are my optimized Mastered files that Apple will use to encode to one Lossy and to one Lossless formats. When you'll submit my masters to Apple, they will store them and encode them to their own proprietary Lossless ALAC and Lossy AAC+ format files. Those audio forms are intended for Streaming and Download use through the Apple Music platform and the iTune store.

Preparation for Vinyl

You need a Vinyl release? Technically speaking, this can't be improvised! A very specific craft and expertise is involved for making good Lacquers because of numerous (and important) constraints due to the medium playability. I deliver the digital audio files of Side A & Side B so that the Cutting Engineer will easily translate those audios into his Lathe. If you feel concerned about how good each of your tracks will translate into vinyl, you're in the right place. Just hit me !

Metadata insertion, DDP

Your digital delivery will include the insertion of some data into the Masters, This is called "Metadata". It can be codes (PQ, ISRC, UPC/EAN, CD-TEXT...) or specific data like Artist name, Author, Arranger, Composer etc...

Dans le cas du CD, j’établi un document « PQ Log » qui reprend l’ensemble du metadata inscrit sur la matrice, Ce document valide l’exactitude des données avant le pressage en usine. Le DDP constitue l’image-disque de votre projet. Il contient vos masters en qualité CD, leur enchainement et tout le metadata associé au projet.
