i've just finished the tracking and mixing of an album that i'm now ready to take somewhere for professional mastering. i've tried to inform myself as much as possible about the best way to prep and deliver the final mixes.

i've tried other places with no joy...so please bear with me if possible..

i have a 733 G4 (silver one) and i cannot get the damn thing to write below 8 X..this is driving me mad.

i'm using Adaptec Jam. i've turned off every extension that i think could get in the way (i'm running OS9.2.2)

any help would be most welcome..

I'm completing a music project that will be mastered here in Philly at Masterworks. I have a meeting with the mastering engineer on July 9th to discuss the project and listen to a few roughs before going to final mix tweaking. What kind of prep work should I do? What kind of questions should I be thinking of asking? What can I do at this stage to help the success of the project?

Hi Robert,
I was toled that I can run my stereo outs to a good tube preamp when I am mixing down and that will help give body to the mix.
Is that true or there is no merit in that?

what were the basic tools from 1960 to 1970 comps? speakers? rooms? 3 band? 1 band? in the UK, USA.

I want to be able to offer my customers who want their audio material transferred to another medium the options to transfer to HDCD, SACD,DVD-A and DTS CD.

Also right now I can only take vinyl, cassette tape, VHS tape and Mini-DV tape as sources. I also want to accept reel to reel, 8-track tapes, BeTascam tape and multitrack tape.

This may me a lot to ask but I would like to create a set of reference CDs for every type of music out there. In other words I want everybody's input on what they think are the absolutely best mastered CDs out there for a particular genre of music. Ex Rock, Metal, opera, classical, hip-hip etc. Thanks.

There are a lot of postings on the topic of RFI at various audio websites. I'd like to include my version in case somebody else gets driven nuts (like me) trying to find just where the problem is in their system. I transfer vinyl and tape to CD. I'd like to remaster or master for real bands but everything in due time.

I need to burn several CD for a demo. In the past I did this using Toast or sometime Waveburner Pro. But my CD can play in some player but not other, very inconsistence.

Advices need from the pro. Is Cd-r brand or type has any effect on music Cd when burning? music CD burning software?

what is the best way for me to avoid this?

thanks
