Honest ?!! Have you heard of problems with dishonest recording studios ? And Izotope do have excellent mastering tools. 4 are bundled with Sound Forge, specifically aimed at mastering. geoff
Subject:RE: Mastering Reply by: ozzborn Date:8/15/2011 5:45:02 PM i prefer to master in Acid now, than 2 tracking. It would be the same for me if i was using protools. when you believe you got a good mix and you add your master e.q. than a limiter(L2 ,L3,brainworx bx, fabfilter pro L,uad precision limiter etc.)add 6 db of limiting and your mix shifts, the louder you try to make your song the more fine adjustments you make to your mix. my 02.
Subject:RE: Mastering Reply by: Marc1 Date:8/15/2011 8:35:56 PM Thanks people,and as far as dishonest recording studios i haven't had really too many problems other then them taking their time(a little bit) on my dime.I have been a musician and writer for years but never bothered to learn the recording and technical aspect of it all,didn't have too. so after all the gigs and fun I finally broke down(quitting drinking helped) and built a home recording studio in my house to lay my compositions down on some tracks.I'm doing better then I thought I would. I would love to know the art of finding that sweat spot When EQing my tracks.You tube is a God sent,and of course this forum.If anyone has any tips on a good book on mixing and mastering to buy it would be much appreciated.thanks again Marc.
