One question per note. No endless catch-all guides.
02
Audio QC · Fire2
Loudness is a measurement—not a delivery decision
Integrated loudness is useful, but it cannot approve a master by itself. A defensible check also needs true peak, exact file identity, context, and visible exceptions.
03
Delivery practice · Fire2
A mastering delivery checklist that survives the handoff
A practical final pass for masters, metadata, reports, and checksums—before the delivery folder leaves your control.
04
File integrity · Fire2

What a checksum can defend after delivery, what it cannot tell you, and how to respond to a mismatch without guessing.
05
Creative processing · Gritifier
