hello group,
how does your treatment differ when you are mastering a track for radio and/or tv ? Do you do that at all these days ?
I usually push the bass-area up a bit (frequency-wise) including a high-pass (around 50hz). for radio I also push the midrange for approx. 1 db up.
does that make any sense for anybody ?

any suggestions apprechiated, best regards-

Word is just out that Capitol Records is re-releasing the first 4 Beatles albums in their American versions, in a box set. This is volume 1 of a planned series of reissues.There will be mono & stereo versions of each album on each disc. No word if the box set will be regular 16/44.1 CD or SACD / DVD Audio. Sleeves within the box will be copies of the original sleeve art.

I'm in the process of recording my old band and I'm completely oblivious to the whole mastering process so I'm taking the songs to a mastering facility. I plan on taking the songs to the facility as 24 bit aiff files on a data disc.

I've heard a lot of mastering engineers complain about too much compression, reverb, low end, high-end ...etc.

Who's going to the AES show? i'll be there sometime on friday, sat, and sun.

Chicago has seen several remasterings over the years: the original Joe Gastwirt masters, the Doug Sax remaster for the CBS Masterdisc (CTA), the Mark Wilder remaster for the Group Portrait box, and the new ones done by Dave Donnelly for Rhino. I've heard that the recording methods used by their producer, James William Guercio, make mastering these tapes a challenge in some respects.

Hi there ..
i'm working on electronic music, techno especially .. Everything is going into mastering for vinyl .. i know that the mastering studio can make it all sound louder but i still like to give them the best sounding thing i can ..

the problem i'm having right now is getting good slap on my instruments (Snare and Kick) especially without peaking my meters ..

Would anyone do me the favor of explaining the overtone system as it pertains to music recording? I'm supposed to explain the system for a homework assignment and the professor has not even mentioned it. Any help is appreciated! -Max

I'm in a bit of a dilemma..

After testing out the demo versions of various mastering plugins (Waves,Tracks,PSP etc) I still can't seem to get my tracks as loud as others in my itunes library.

Whilst the plugins added an overall leveling of balance and some nice sonic tweaking.. they still have not made my mixes as loud as I want them.

I've seen this site advertising called http://www.emasters.co.uk thinking about trying has anybody used it? or how good they are?

Is anyone familiar with Massive Mastering - John Scrimp or the The Mastering House, Inc. Tom Volicelli?

thanks
