Approvals

Sending a mix

1. Go to Approvals and start a new delivery. The title is usually the song's name; the client's name is only for you.
2. Choose what you're sending: a finished master (the client can fine-tune Bass, Treble, Punch, Width and Loudness within your limits), or the mix before your bus chain, plus the chain (DigMusiK renders your chain, and you can let the client move chosen controls in it).
3. Upload the mix as a WAV (16, 24 or 32-bit, 44.1 to 96 kHz). If your bus chain used a sidechain, add the key track too.
4. Tick what the client can change, and how far each can go. They always start from your version.
5. Copy the link and send it. Anyone with it can listen and download until it expires. When the client chooses a version, you get an email.

Clients only ever receive audio, never your chain, your signatures or your settings.

Notes and sign-off

Your client's notes arrive with the moment in the mix they're about, on the delivery and by email. Reply, and tick them off as you deal with them. Your client signs off a version from their link, or you can sign off your own version. The sign-off record keeps who signed off, which version and when.

Alternate versions

Vocal up and down, instrumental, TV mix and a cappella, made from the signed-off version without a recall. Add the vocal stems printed from the same point as the mix (same start and end); DigMusiK takes them out of the mix, rebalances and runs the same finishing. For a finished master, print the stems through your master bus as it was. Alternates are cleanest from a mix before the bus chain.

Quotes and payment

Add a quote on the delivery: the price, the deposit, how many revision rounds are included and the price of each extra round. Your client accepts it on their link and pays by card; the money goes to your own Stripe account (set it up under Get paid by card). Your client pays DigMusiK's 15% booking fee and card processing on top, shown in full before they pay, so you receive your whole price. The client can always listen; the full-quality files unlock when it's paid. Track everything under Quotes and payments.

The mastering pack

One private link for the mastering engineer: the signed-off mix, the alternates, your bus chain and its settings, the technical details and every note. They don't need an account and can leave notes too. Add notes for mastering before you send it.

Then check every version against where it's going in Deliverables, and agree credits and splits.
