Hey RO'ers it's been a long time, does anybody out there use Izotope Ozone Mastering software? If so would you be willing to share your authorization code with me so that I an use the demo version? I am a struggling producer and just can't afford to buy the product right now. So if you would be willing to help a brother out I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks.

Hey Im very new to mastering and I know it takes awhile to learn. But what are the basics to mastering? See I have been mixing for years and my mixes come good but now I want to move on to learn how to master. So what do I start with? EQing, Reverb are those the basics?

If you do not mind your secrets being known, tell us about your mastering process. What steps do you take, what software do you use ?

How good is this book?

The band I'm recording wants a hidden or bonus track at the end of the CD. For lack of a better number, they chose a 3 minute spacing after the last track. That seems long to me.

Is there a standard? I've seen spacing times range from 1 to 6 minutes. What do you all do?

Thanks,
Jim

Hello masters,

I was in the car yesterday and I heard http://www.npr.org/…"]this interview[/]="http://www.npr.org/…"]this interview[/] with Ry Cooder on World Cafe.

DISCLAIMER: I've already seached on this topic, came up with a few things, but, frankly, I'm just too damn lazy to read through 15+ pages of topics. So, I'm posting it in hopes of an answer. Here's my situation:

Would someone kindly explain to me the use of the Steinberg's Spectral analyzer and how to achieve the best results from it?

Whos gonna start off this discussion?. What the hell is gonna happen to all budding new musicians and small record labels with very limited cash looking to find a sweet marketable band to put love and time into, is this another nail in the coffin of the independent label?
