Mastering session information:
- All attended sessions start at 10am unless another time has been confirmed.
- For unattended sessions, your mixes need to be here at least 24 hours before the start of your session. If the mixes are not here by that time, you risk forfeiting your session that day and you will have to reschedule.
- If your mixes are here many days prior to your session, you may have your session "bumped up" in the schedule.
