A few words about “loud”
Forums
Well it’s a sign of the times I guess. Can hear my daughters boy friend driving towards my house almost a full minute before he arrives!

making a louder CD?
Forums
I enjoyed all the posts on the loudness topic but i one question, How do you do it! I record on Performer with good pre's, converters, mikes and are fairly happy with my mixes. Now the only equipment i have for mastering is softwear (Waves3.0 and the TC stuff). The best I found was the C4 muli comp. going to the L1 limiter.

Is truncating without dithering always a bad thing?
Forums
Hi,
Is it true to say: "Truncating without dithering is always a bad thing"?
As a follow-up:
A customer who has mixed at 24-bit, suppplies the 2-track mixes in 16-bit (I appreciate that you would prefer the 24-bit masters, but you ain't gettin' 'em). Would you ask for these to have dither applied by the customer?
Cheers,
Aux
1/4" mastering or 1/2"
Forums
is it worth investing in a 1/2" instead of a 1/4" for mastering(big quality difference)?
also, which brands have most of you liked most? I'm not very knowledgable when it comes to tape machines.

Anyone use db audioware?
Forums
A friend pointed out the website. Pretty cool plugins. 64 bit processsing, comp/exp limiter, mastering limiter (maximizer), 3 band mutiband limiter. So far I like how they sound and I love the price. The interface is simple and useful. Anyone else used this stuff?

Bob Ludwig
Forums
i hear so much about him and when i look at his client list it's like war and peace, but what is it that makes him so good? I heard two different albums of a band, one mastered by bob and the earlier album was someone else, and all i could tell was that bob cranked it really loud and it was less open than the earlier album(but of course it would sound good on the radio...yippie).

General Practices / Settings to start?
Forums
Just curious to get some info from those who have experience with many projects. Do you find there are a basic range of compression settings that work for a rock mix? Obviously you have to use your ears and each mix is it's own thing. Do you find you use less compression on mixes done from an analog multitrack or 2-track?

DAT's, CD/R's, 24bit Files, ?
Forums
Any mastering dudes have any preferences for media type?
Clients (college/high school kids mind you) keep asking me to mix my 24bit mixes to DAT cuz they think all the pro's do it.
