I know this is a pretty beaten up dead horse, but I really don't know the current state of approval/disapproval these days since I've been out of the groove a few years. Is online digital auto-mastering taking over too? I suspect many people are giving their own run at this with their own material and plugs?

Hi
I've used a couple of mastering engineers over the years but have been using one more recently over the last year, he is someone I know too.

Today Ive just sat down to put a compilation of mastered songs together (level matching them myself).

Hi all,

My email is James.cherry12129@gmail.com

Please get in touch ASAP

Thanks,
James

Been reading a bunch of online info about this + wonder if anyone here uses it or similar software to focus on translation (how a given mix sounds on different speakers or in different playback contexts)..

Hi
I'm a singer songwriter producer...I've had lots of material mastered mainly with the same engineer, but I've had a couple of tracks back over the last year that seem very crushed.

I just presumed this was the industry standard but am starting to question the engineer and his ability.

Anyone listened to Arcade Fire's Everything Now?
I've been surprised to hear how quiet and dynamic this album is.
I read it was mastered by Greg Calbi.

Last The National's album is even quiter, is old fashion mastering a new trend among alt-rockers?
