FOLLOW THESE EASY TIPS TO AVOID COSTLY DELAYS WITH YOUR CD PROJECT.

During mastering, a professional engineer optimizes your CD by using EQ, compression, and other dynamics processing, so your album can compete with any major label release. In other studios, this service can cost you thousands of dollars. The Sound Master Lab delivers professional quality at prices indie artists can afford.

YOU’RE MASTER:

Make sure your master sounds EXACTLY the way you want before sending it to Mophi & MoFyne Records Inc, because we are going to replicate it the way we receive it.

 Listen to the whole project from start to finish in one sitting, without distractions. Check spacing between tracks; listen for glitches, pops, or any extraneous noises that shouldn't be there. Check your start Ids. If your master isn't 100% right, go back to your recording or mastering studio and fix it.

 There can be no unlicensed samples on your recording.

 If you have any content on your master that wasn't created by you – no matter how short it may be – you need to have a license to use it and we need to see proof that you have that license. Without that, we cannot make your CDs. If you can't get a license you can a) replace it with a public domain sample or a royalty-free sound clip, or b) remove the sample all together.

 Use name brand, professional grade media for your master.

 The best way to avoid digital errors that can make your CD master unusable for replication is to use grade-A media like Verbatim, Taiyo Yuden, Sony, TDK, Memorex, or Disk Makers Ultra discs.

  Make sure the song sequence on the disc matches the artwork.

 When you're giving your master that final listen, make sure you compare the song sequence to the song sequence on the graphics. Do this right before sending in your order.

One final tip:

 Always make a backup copy of your master and keep it in a safe place. As unlikely as it is, you never know when it could be your package that the shipping company happens to lose.

WHAT TO SEND IN WITH YOUR ORDER:

SIGNED QUOTE FORM:

 Please read the quote carefully and sign it. If you received multiple quotes, make sure to send a copy of the right one, or we'll risk making the wrong product (or quantity) for you.

 MASTER WITH LOG:

 Make sure your master sounds exactly like you want it to, and include a master log listing all tracks and times.

 GRAPHICS FILES WITH PRINTOUT:

 Use the recommended templates provided by Mophi & MoFyne Records Inc to make sure that your project will meet spec, and include a printout or mock up. The biggest difference between designing a CD package and a brochure is that all the parts have to fit. Actually cutting the parts out and putting them together is the best way to see how the piece will look when finished.

 COMPLETED IPR FORM WITH LICENSING INFORMATION:

 Tell us that you own the right to reproduce your master, or show us that you have permission from others whose content you're reproducing.

 DEPOSIT:

 We can't start your order without a deposit. All orders require a 50% deposit (ask your product specialist). You can also write your credit card information on the quote form.

 Thank you for considering Mophi & MoFyne Records Inc. for your next CD project.
