I finally mastered my first surround sound release for DVD-A. This was tons of fun. It really took a lot out of me mentally but i'm sure it will get easier the more I do it. This is kind of in response to Don's "will SACD restore dynamics" thread. If you have the monitors calibrated correctly and you monitor at a decent level, it's really uncomfortable to push it to the max.

I have PTHD, a Finalizer 96k (via AESEBU) and the Waves TDM. How can I setup a Project for MS mastering? Using the encoder/decoder of the Waves plugins, the 96k?

Thank's from catalonia.

Here's a situation that just came up: Parts support for a older piece of gear.

I have a PS Audio Lamda CD Transport that I have been using for some time. It has ceased to function & I am told by the tech guys that it requires a Phillips CD-9-PRO laser assembly to be repaired.
These parts are now out of production & I am told are unubtainable anywhere in the world.

Hi,

I'm making trance/dance music with Reason 2.01, Cubase SX and my hardware gear. I have some questions whats the best db level to record -6db? I see on some tutorials always from -6db but my soundcard has also +4db. I'm beginner and don't understand all the different things. Like when you have to eq channels, ... Anyone can give me some info?

Best Regards
Kris

I have an audiophile friend at work. He has this thing and swears that what ever you connect to it runs better; whether it's audio, video or a shaver.

I just ordered one.

check out these portable CD players: dataplay, slim-x and chrome-x

I wanted to share this simply because this is what we do. We extrapolate information to another realum.

Basically, mastering is taking the pro format and turning it into the consumer format. It gets much deeper than that too!

Say, you get a 2-bus that has different 2-bus dynamics from left to right channel.

Hi!
Just wanted to know from friends, which format is gaining more popularity in the USA..
Seems that just now will be released the first Brazilian DVD-A, from a top hit band called Capital Inicial.
with the popularity of the DVD video, wouldn't it be easier to make it catch?

I mostly do electronic music from Reason and using DAW. my friend just gave me a otari Mx 5050 1/4 reel to reel. I love it when I dump the mix from my computer to warm it up a little bit. I just want to know if you can tell me if there is a way to turn this machine into a 1/2 inch? or maybe I am just dreaming big.

thanks

I am working a session that we'll probably wrap up within a week or so, we are gonna finally start mixing tonight.
