Let's master a song together

[pcrecord]

Hi everyone,

This is the last step of the project. We've been tracking and mixing. Now's the time for the mastering.
This project has been done entirely by RO members and it's purpose is to learn and discuss about all aspect of a production.

I know that mastering has much to do about arranging multiple songs together but for the sake of the exercise we are gonna work on only one song.

Everyone is welcome to submit a master version, even if you are not a Mastering engineer.
This is not a contest, just an opportunity for practicing, dicussing, learning and showing what we can do.

I'm using google drive to offer HighRes files :

I should put up a version next week, I nearly forgot about this thread !

 

[pcrecord]

Weird, the streaming seems not to work
Any Idea @audiokid ?

 

[audiokid]

Marco, there appears to be something incorrect with your upload. I can upload MP3 here.

 

[audiokid]

test Marco's track

 

[audiokid]

The above is your track. I downloaded it and uploaded it again. This indicates your upload was bad. Or something we may never know lol. Try again is the best I can say...

Cheers!

132/133 "love you", is my favourite part. Nice one there.

That's your master. I downloaded your file and re uploaded it.

The question was, how did it sound to you ?

 

[audiokid]

Oh...
(I'm on the road) It sounds really good on my mobile system!
Well balanced. Your ride and hats are exactly where I would have put them, same with everything in the track. Well done, Marco as well as the rest of the guys.

Welcome to RO Mike. Great to count you in !

I think you forgot to like the song..
You need to convert it to a 320kbps mp3 and drag it to the post window or use upload a file...

Your version is very clear but lacks a bit of low end. The thing that surprised me the most is that there is more energy to the right side...

Here is a more dynamic version

Here's my effort. First post on the board.
I mastered it to DR9. I didn't do anything with the fuzz at the end of the track. Nice recording!

all the best - Ryan
