Thanks

My thanks for the "welcome" and the "tips". The part I like about the "new" scene (for me anyway) is that since we all have to wear so many hats it's created the need for a more familial community. I used to just do my job and go home. Now I AM home... and it's all my job!

For those of you that may have missed my initial message here it is in it's lengthy entirety...

I guess I'm a little flustered become of a recent experience with one the top mastering engineers in the business. I must say that I was disappointed with his work. My master CD reference was returned with no eq just limiting, outside of that unchanged.

I recently mastered a project that a guy recorded at home in Cubase and he said he wanted it the level raised but not totally slammed. I ran it through an analog path for EQ and a little compression and did the limiting with L1. However I hit it he wasn't all that happy with the result and said it sounded smooshed.

Hi guys,

Hi everyone, can it get better! I am so pleased to announce Joe Lambert from http://www.classics…"]Classic Sound[/]="http://www.classics…"]Classic Sound[/], our newest addition to the already impressive list of moderators on RO.

Hey guys, if anyone in the NYC area has SADiE experience, I need some lessons! I will gladly pay for a few sessions. I have a Classic with 3.7 and have been playing with the system a bit, but need a pro to help accelerate the learning curve. Anyone interested can email me at dmcnair1@nyc.rr.com, Thanks

What up,

look, a friend of mine suggested that i record all my traks under 0db until i get to the mastering stage..What do you think? And can anybody out there give me a version of their mastering checklist in 2500 words or less :) ?

Does anyone have any tips on mastering orchestral recordings? It seems to me that one would want to preserve as much of the dynamics as possible. Is any EQ, maximizing or compression ever applied? Of course each situation might warrant different techniques, but what might the ‘norm’ be—if any?

Hello all!

As luck has it...I am going through a divorce and moving.

I will resume the mastering project and mailouts on the week of October 20th.

This is my NEW address...please make a note of it.

Sorry for the delay but moving 20,000 pounds of equipment 700 miles is a royal bitch.
