Hello Everyone,

I want to thank Chris for making me a part of this very cool web page. I am look looking forward to answering any questions I can pertaining to the art of mastering. As a mastering engineer I get all kinds of projects to work on from the heaviest of Metal to opera and everything in between. So fire away! Hope that I can be of help.

Thanks,

Joe Lambert

Hi Joe, and welcome. I'm new on this site too, as a subscriber. I'm a 45 year-old union (local 47) composer. Like many I have moved to wearing all the "hats"... composer, arranger, engineer, producer, etc., so I'm relatively new at working every position on the assembly line. My request is that you post the correct order for creating a mastered file. Here's what I do. Final master fader mix bounce to new file/ master fader master bounce to export. The burning question for me is: Should I use a master fader for the final and/or for the master bounces? If so...plug-insonly on the master faders? All final mixes on the same document? All final masters on the same document? Projects for outside mastering on a master fader or just a stereo bounce? Or just tell me what book to buy!

It's a little bit embarrassing and at the same time a bit exciting to feel so "new". I've made a living as a professional musicain for almost 3 decades. Thanks for your attention. My sincerest apologies to you and the forum for being long-winded and off topic. It won't happen again.
