Basic mastering procedures?

corrupted,

Ask a broad question get a broad answer.

Your questions have been asked on this form at least 100 times in the past. Do some searching using the search function. If you have specific questions then I and most other mastering engineers will be happy to answer your questions.

"How do I master my stuff" is soooooooooo broad that you could write a book on the subject and someone has already done that. Suggest you pick up Bob Katz's book on Mastering and read it cover to cover BEFORE you do anything else. It will answer most of your questions and for the money is hard to beat as a reference source.

Best of luck and when you have specific questions come back and get them answered,

Thomas, you're right. This question was asked in the past, like 2006.

someone brought back an old thread.

Yes I see that now but it has also been asked at least 100 time since then.

Why is it so hard for people to understand that the reason a mastering engineer is paid to do mastering is because he or she is very good at what they do and has years of experience and the best equipment to work with?

Anyone can do self mastering but like self barbering the results may not be what you expected. At least with the self barbering your hair will eventually grow out but after you have 1000 CDs replicated and they sound like $hit you cannot go back and fix it later.

Oh well some people have more money than brains and I guess that will never change.
