Hi guys,

a friend of mine recorded a project for a band and they took it to get professionally mastered at Freq Mastering. Everything on the mastered copy sounded more present, it was subtle like you couldn't hear EQing or compression it was just that every instrument found their place. Is this presence achieved by just running things through really nice analog outboard gear?

I still haven't had time to do an audio shootout between these two mics, but I thought some of you may be interested in what I found when I took both of them apart and compared them side by side.

anybody have info on other co's supporting iLok besides

I was curious if this company had any kind of reputation among pros the out there.-daniel

Wow, I made a little suggestion in the Bar and Grill about a mastering forum and wham! There it is. Thanks audiokid! So let's see who else is into it. FYI I've done a couple small mastering projects but I'm nowhere near a guru. Certainly no moderator type. Um. so I'll start with what I'm using. A 400mHz PIII, Win 98, Cool Edit Pro, Sound Forge and some Waves plugins.

Greetings to all on board.

Recently I aquired a beyer m160 microphone. I notice two red dots on the rI'm of the mike. May I know, what purpose does these red dots serve?
Thank you for your input/ contribution.

How's about a mastering forum? That's one thing I havent seen much. So many of us are doing basic mastering that a resource would be very appreciated. Maybe Brad would be into it? Hmmmm, just a thought.

I was wandering what is the extra XLR connections on snakes (the ones that has boxes like the wall boxes on the studio). For example, is a 16 channel snake, and there is four more XLR connections named A, B, C, D... :confused:

Can someone explain me the differences (hardware and power) between TDM 24, Mix, Mix Plus and the new one I think is Mix 3 or something similar...
