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.

Hello all, I realise this problem may be posted somewhere else, but as a "non technical" person, I can't see any discussions that fit. Basically I find it hard to remove background noise (surface crackle, scratch etc) from quiet passages in Classical music LP to WAV conversion. LPs are in VGC.

I recently bought a Korg 32xd and have recorded a song and burned it to CD. I think it sounds very good, but is not as loud as commercially produced and mastered CDs. I can see a problem up the road when I put these songs together for a project album and the tracks will all be too quiet.

Does anybody on here have anything good to say about the dbx Quantum II (preferably owner, users) I've been wanting to buy one for a while but, I can't really find out any good info. anywhere. I tried the T.C. unit and just did'nt think it was all that. any opinionswould be greatfully appriciated. . .

ok, I always been told, and have read about how your master bus shouldn't go over 0db or you will have digital clipping, causing distortion or whatever, yet this doesn't seem to effect my tracks which are always pumping in the red, .

I see that the website for this freeware plug has stopped serving it.

I've heard great things about this plugin . Does anyone know where I can download it?

I've done a google search, but could not find it.

Maybe some kinid soul can email it to me?

Thanks!

ohk I've been sitting back reading all of these mastering posts and I'm going to shoot the question... and it may make me look like a complete idiot but I was always told no question is a bad question lol... what is mastering?

While i was reading a 500 pages manual and adjusting tape guides today i thought about... is it time to make a new group project?

Does anybody have a good idea?
If we do a song/number again then why not bring on the artist's opinion of the different results?

...And let's have Don and Thomas with os this time... if they dare? 8-)

Best Regards

I run a recording studio and I hate mastering the work, I am looking for a copany that I can have some sort of deal with to send all my mixes of clients to. e-mail me if you are interested nando@ph8.net

I'm in the process of arrainging a date in early November to invite Recording.ORG members to Masterdisk in NYC for a listening party. We will be checking out the vinyl from "Smile".

I'd like to get a rough idea of the amount of interest in this. If you'd like to come over, please post a quick comment on this topic heading. I'll announce a confirmed date as soon as possible.
