The best sounding mix. Stereo mixes, 24 bit minimum resolution (32 bit is also fine). Bus processing is fine as long as it sounds better or holds mixes together.
A couple of things to consider:
Listening. A great mix tells me what should be done to make it sound even better.

About vinyl:
Please be aware of maximum playback length when choosing your tracks for both sides of the vinyl. Optimum playback length for a 12" 33 rpm record is 18 - 21 mins.
The disk cutter at the vinyl plant is the only one making final judgements when transferring digital files to vinyl.
For CD I'll provide you a playable DDP-image, including ISRC codes.
It's possible to attend the session. I encourage you to witness the process: in price there is no difference between an attended or unattended mastering session. (max. 2 persons in the studio)
In case you're not entirely happy with your master I will do a revision, until you're 100% satisfied.

Of course. The better the mix, the better the end result!
ISRC is an international code that facilitates the distribution of music rights. The code is unique per song.
The code is embedded during the mastering session when releasing music on CD.
An ISRC can be obtained free of charge. In Holland Sena issues the codes.
