What kind of things do you guys like to see in a mix before you master? I'm getting ready to mix my band's album, and was wondering what's generally the right way to go before mastering.

Thanks a lot.

Hey guys, I'm trying to figure out the best way to get SDII, AIFF, etc. to my D/A's. Furthermore, I'd like to be able to use an IBook to do this. What are my options for external interface cards that have the proper computer connections and AES or SPIDF outs? I don't need more than stereo either. Should I just get a desktop and a soundcard?

first off, I'm very excited about this site and appreciate the oppertunity to join it.

I would like to know if anybody can tell me the going price for a Lexicon PCM 70.

Thanks and keep up the great posts! :w:

I suppose this is obvious, but are the CD "scectors" in Jam the same as frames in Masterlist CD?

Any of you mastering guys out there use the dbx Quantum, or Quantum 2? I was thinking about getting a Finalizer type of piece, and the dbx looks interesting.

Just thought I would enlighten all on Bill's progress. He is alive and well and say's Hello! to everyone. He has made some very good contacts in the W.P.B. area, and is on the team at Avanti Productions, and has been working very hard for them. His cottage studio apartment is almost completed in it's renovations, and he should be in there sometime today.

How do you master a CD to take to the radio so it can be played.. How do keep the volume of a CD the same level as the rest of them.. I have been having this problem for quite some time...

I am getting close. Found the place and I am moving in as of Dec 1. West Palm Beach Florida is very nice and the weather is wonderful. The Traffic sux big time...but that is simply life.

I have everyones MAstering project address ..(even the argentina mail :) ) and I will compile as soon as soon as the move is complete..
