Hello, I'm new to this forum and I have a question about the Masterlink as a 2 track "master deck". I've read that it is a good unit...I would appreciate any recommendations one way or the other.
I record folk type music (acoustic guitar, mandolin and vocals) to a blackfaced ADAT (my first venture into digital).
Thanks to all who reply!

Really impressed with all there rooms as far as equipment and acoustics go. Anyone have any questions as far as what I saw ?

1)Which Compressor would you use for your Mastering.

1176 (or LA) Bomb Factory, TL Audio C1, Finalizer.

2) Would you make a precompression before the final Mastering with one of these Comps?

Okay, here's a question for all you mastering engineers out there. How do you deal with a mix that has a few digital overs? Of course if it's a chorus you can often grab a word or two from another chorus in the mix and paste it in. But what solutions are there otherwise?

is it beacause of todays 16bit world that I cannot seem to feel the vibe anymore...when analog tape was around I could feel it so it moved me...now I am forced to move to it! masters when you get a demo to master is it usually a CD and you can only do so much to it? do you get a better vibe from reel tapes. what is your preference. is CD ruining my vibe!

This unit has a SPDIF input. Wonder how this would do as the final destination for mastered material. If you were coming out of a Masterlink at 24 bit into HEDD - Vari Mu - Massivo -- Hedd and then into the CDR300? Would the 16 bit copy that it produces be as good as any?

With the advent of the 64 bit computing revolution and that windows based audio editing apps offer the option to record in 64 bits, does anyone make a sound card that allows one to record at 192khz / 64 bits?

Hi there,

Just wanted to know what order you follow to put 24b/96k audio in a CD.

Hi all! I'm new to this site and have read a bunch of the posts and must say thank you for all of the awsome info! :D

I attended a demo for 5.1 surround SACD at Sony music studios this past Thursday evening.
