Im a Dj so i will be playing my material out in a club soon, but only when i feel its ready, all i want to know is :

Should i remove DC Offset on all my songs? Can somone explain to me what i really does and how should i be using it? thanks

I've never actually been in a "real" mastering studio--my only link to them being somewhere that I FedEX a CD to and a couple of weeks later get a CD back that sounds a whole heck of a lot better. I have seen many of photos of notable mastering facilities in the likes of Mix magazine and others that make me curious about one thing...

Ok.

Back in my girlfriends high school daze (3 years ago) she was involved in the school choir which really kicked butt! They did a tour through Canada and had one of their performances recorded in an old church...really low budget. My girlfriend no longer sings but holds this music close to her heart (She cries when she listens to it).

If we plan on getting our 4 song demo mastered but we are doing the recording and mixing ourselves, what should we do and NOT do to give the mastering engineer the most flexibility when working with our material?

Hi, just wondered what white noise is and if there is any relevance to recording... I've heard the phrase being used "insert some white noise into the mix" what is this all about?

I have CD's that clearly outperform the SACD counterparts.

I am looking to buy a good used 2-bus EQ. That I can use coming out of the DAW and before going into wavelab. I am looking to spend aorund $1500 Any recommendations. I am using a Peavy VCL-2 for my compressor--for now.

:(

I do the mastering of my home projects in wavelab. how is the converters in it? should i record in 48k and dither down at the end, or should I stick to 44.1?

Hi, I produce beats for, and perform on Turntables in, a three piece band called Belleruche. We are just about to press our first seven inch (On a very low budget in the UK), and as a result of our singers Austrialian contacts we've had the first side mastered in Australia.
