I am being sold on a Lynx Hilo for my mastering conversion and monitoring solution. Do any of you ME's have an opinion on this? I noticed the Aurora has 8 channels (instead of the 2- Hilo) and sells for ~$500 less than the Hilo. Is the conversion the same? I was also looking into the CRane Song HEDD.

Please help, because my head is spinning over this.

Thanks

I have been recording music as a hobby for about 8 years and i have recently come across a program in the last few years called Mixcraft, now i know its probably well known to most people out there, bit i have it on an old Toshiba laptop with a decent mic i have recorded numerous songs that sound just as good as a pro studio, if you wanna hear samples go to

Just curious why mastering engineers have their gear flat rather than tilted like recording engineers? I'm guessing its to do with reflections and having the gear right at their "hand, eye, ear" proximity? But how do you see?

Its been several years my working on music but I am able to do some better mixing now.

I mixed a session onto a wav file today.

It played fine.

I converted it into an mp3 and found some bass distortion and bass-kind noise.

Interestingly the EQ on mp3 wouldnt fix it. Since it was spread through the freq band!

I tell my clients that a rendered wave is ideal but a recent client sent me MP3 files to work on.

i get a digital sound and distorted

i need a warm clear sound like 70s 80s

If a client brings you a 24 bit recording and only wants a mastered digital version of it, do you go ahead and dither it down to 16 bit even if they only want it for online distribution/not for CD?

Me and a friend of mine recorded a song at home with Logic.

Please let me know what you think! Especially about the mix and such...

I find that you are not a pro if you dont use a multicompressor, but where should it be used best?
