So, you've recorded, arranged and mixed your project... But, you're not finished yet. If you decide to send
your mix to be professionally mastered, here's 10 essential things to check first.

disappears. Remember 1 + (-1) = 0. If you have a piano or an acoustic guitar in stereo, panned wide, put the channels in solo then
look at the phase meter. Doing this will make sure your mix has the same balance in mono or stereo. Use plug-in Phase Scope in
Pro-Tools.
The circle represents an oscilloscope with Lissajous patterns. You should expect the mix to be displayed around a vertical axis,
meaning it is well centered. A thin vertical line is mono. If you see any activity on the horizontal axis, something is out of phase. It will
correspond to events in the audio, so its pretty easy to see and hear whats causing it. If you hear a cymbal crash or stereo piano
note at the same time the horizontal axis flares up or the phase line at the bottom flies to the left, you have probably found the
problem. Play the same section again with that channel in solo to confirm it. Correct the phase by using a phase or micro delay plug
or narrow your pan settings.
5 - Send the files in the maximum resolution used in the origin recording
If your multi-track session was a 24-bit / 48 kHz WAV or higher, render your mix file the same format and label it as such. If your CD
will be made from files of multiple sample rates, include an advisory of that or put them in separate folders. Do not master from an
MP3 unless it is all youve got.
