Hey everyone, nice forums, glad to be here. I apologize for the somewhat long post, but I'd really appreciate some help.

I have a few questions about record lathes that I can't seem to find answers for.

Who makes them?
Who owns them?
How are they controlled?

This one, now, that looks rather digital to me. Check 3m:35s.

Thanks.

Hello everyone,

I'm looking for advise on what I need to provide my customers with when mastering a song.

I've been able to get good reviews from my already standing customers and was wondering if anyone has advised as to what the songs need to have as far as specs:

i.e 16 bit recording, 44.1 kHz.

I have a mix that I'm really happy with, but it's very quiet. I even added a master track and put it through compression. I love results of the WAV that i have of it, except the volume. I'm using Sound Forge to do the mastering, is there anything I can do to boost the volume but in a way that it won't alter the actual mix too much?

Hi

Hello my question is

When should I convert to 44,1 kHz when product should be an Audio CD ?
Before my Mastering-Chain or as the last step in Mastering, before Dithering.

Best regards

Just wondering, on average how many mastering orders do you think a normal mastering studio fills in a month?

I know mastering really does make a difference but I'm on a budget and I think my mixes sound pretty good. But...if it really would make it sound THAT much better then I would want to get it done. But I want to know if it is worth it. Since I know everyone here is a pro at what they do and I trust your skills here is the link to a .wav of a solid mix from my album.

Hi,

I have noted that Korg in relation to their presentation of the MR-1000 on their webpages mention something called the "One-bit Audio Consortium".

Anybody who knows about this?

Hi,

I'm considering recording audio in the DSD format and would like to know how I transfer the recorded files to files that are put on an SACD. My searches on the internet have not revealed much software that do this (whatever the reason for that?)
