Hi;

Recently recorded a punk / metal album. The album has the feel of an old-school punk band but also has a real metal type sound with big guitar and tight drums. It's mainly me on instruments, with special guests

I've been looking at a lot of pro mastered stuff, and I notice these guys get some serious level without that trademark L2 distortion.
Not that I expect everyone to be forthcoming as this is regarded as secret in some circles, but how are you guys achieving these kind of levels?

Does the compression and multiband comps play a large role in achieving overall volume for you?

What do you think of it, is it worth the money ?

When checking commercial songs (in 44.1 kHz) with a spectrum analyser, I often see a sharp roll off in frequencies at around 20 kHz or so. Why exactly is this done? In order to make the fact that the frequencies are abrubtly cut off at 22050 Hz inaudible? So is this something I should be reproducing by using a low-pass filter with a sharp Q (I'm using 20504 Hz, Q of 5.79)?

Hi all, I registered here a few months ago but could never load the forum pages for some reason, until now. Probably a good thing, because I've learnt a great deal during that time in the world of engineering, saving me any embarrassing moments. Well, probably more to come. ;)

Hi,

Did you try them ?

What do you think ?

Good day all,

I wondered what you mastering pros use to master vocals. Do you just use the things everyone knows (like CEP's EQ, compressor, etc), or do you have special mastering equipment (which makes that pro-sound we all know from i.e. the radio) that you use?

And is it possible to professionally master a track with just a random program (like CEP)?

I will be needing some mastering done on several albums very soon, this seems like a place that has many people who really know what they're talking about and doing. My only question is does anyone here have a lot of experience mastering hip hop & r&b music, and if so a couple questions for you. How much do u charge, how do u preffer the songs when they come to u?
