Hey, that's pretty cool ! :)

So, I'm guessing we're to upload the mix without any compression / limiter effects we put on it ourselves?
Also: 24 bit?

Erm.. from what Nooms told me, we just upload the mix, as good as we can get it, as a wav file. The mastering is just to balance all the tracks against each other so they sit well as an album. So I think we just upload them as is..

I'll check..  :-\

Right, Nooms has confirmed, Just upload the mix as it is, with compression/effects just as you are happy with it. 24 bit is not necessary.  Our man's not doing any remixing so just upload the best version you've got.

If anyone is still unsure, Nooms said to PM him.

Remember, I can help with Dropbox if you need it, PM me for any help with that :)

That's a great offer. It'll make a great difference to the feel of the album.  :D

Looking at about the 7th Dec before I'll get my final mix done. Hope that's enough time.  ??? :(
