*Please note, the digital to analogue convertors in the studio run at a high sample rate to supply audio to the analogue hardware. Because of this your project may be upsampled before mastering. As the final recorded file will be higher than 24/44 we can confidently supply you with Apple Digital Masters that will pass Apple’s verification.
