I am new to recording, and woundering why there is a lot of noise in the CDs I'm playing around with.The music and mastering has already been done in other studios.I am just getting these CDs from friends,who give them to me to listen to and tell them what I think.I use the Mackie Hr824 monitors in my studio,and they seem to pick up a lot of noise in the 5Khz and 10khz areas.I use very narrow b

Why use a limiter? Why not compress all possible peaks on the MIX and then just normalize the song ?

Sorry if this has been discussed before but I wanted some opinoins on the different brand CDRs out there.

I always assumed that CDRs just print data, error rate aside, that they more or less sound the same.
But I read an interesting thread about the "big" differences between the different brands. For example, the Sonys sounding "dark" etc.

Hi friends! a few years ago I read on a Bazilian magazine ( similar to EQ/Mix) that there is a simple software that can dig deeper into your CD-R "security card" LOL.
They discovered that lots of famous brands were done by the same plant and some known to be best brands in fact sucked in lots of tests. Has any of you used such application on Mac?
Thanks
:p

Can someone explain and clarify the level difference between Lacquer and Direct Metal Mastering for an identical recording cut using each method?

Hi Guys!
