Part of a mastering engineer’s job is to successfully deliver masters in the deliverable format(s) requested by the client. Depending on where and how the music is going to be consumed, there are several file formats and delivery methods that you’ll need to be aware of. Let’s go through some of the most common formats and how you can assemble them for your client.

Here’s some text that is extra important for the reader.

Depending on the kind of music you make, soundscapes and textures have different levels of importance. For example, if you make ambient music, soundscapes are going to be predominately sitting at the front of the mix, where the listeners can focus their attention on the slow evolution of their sonic layers (a lot of ambient tracks are considerably longer than traditional pop arrangements).

If you make other kinds of music where the focus is on other elements such as vocals in a pop record or intricate bass patches in dubstep, soundscapes often play a much different role. Let’s say you’re working on the bridge of your track, where a lot of the main elements in the arrangement are removed and something new is introduced. Maybe you want to have the lead vocals at the front of the mix, with a repeating percussive loop to keep the tempo going. Adding a subtle, constantly evolving soundscape in the background is a nice way to add that extra depth to the section, while not taking the focus away from the singer.
