·WAV (everybody can read WAV, not everybody can read AIFF)

·24 bit (always use the highest possible resolution for as long as possible)

·Interleaved (don't use split files, they're mostly used in ProTools, and not for mastering or CD Audio)

·No dithering (all three POW-r algorithms add noise shaping which you don't want at this point)

·Realtime (this saves you having to listen to the file again before sending it to mastering)

·Watch your master output 1-2 and make sure it doesn't peak above -3 dBFS, i.e. leave at least 3 dB of headroom for the mastering. Remove all plug-ins on the master output channel.
