Concentrate on making a good, solid, clean mix and let us set the final track volume during mastering. True artists know that loud music does not necessarily equal good music. If you resist the urge to make it as loud as you can get it and let your mastering facility adjust your final track volumes then we can make it loud enough in a way that avoids the bad side-effects of strong master output compression and keeps more of a sense of natural dynamics and punchiness. Once you've done this, there's nothing your mastering engineer can do to remove the compression side effects and the master likely won't sound as good as it could have. It seems everyone these days wants to make their track sound louder and louder so they put as much compression as possible on the master output. Please remove or at least reduce any Master ("main") Output compression, limiting, or maximizing effects intended simply to boost the volume levels of your mixdowns. If you must send one of these other file types, try to send one with the highest bitrate possible, preferrably 256kbps or higher. wma files for mastering unless you have no other option as these file types have reduced frequency spectra and won't produce the best quality results when we master it.

So, for example, if you did your work at 16 bit, 44.1kHz then you should provide a stereo. Choose a bit depth and sample rate comparable to the resolution settings you used when doing recording and mixing.
