Anyone affiliated with a Mastering Studio?
Forums
I just have a few questions.
*Signal processors. When you receive someone's mix, how do you feed it back into the DAW? Do you go through a set number of compressors or EQ's first before you processes it internally or what? Where does the audio start from, from a CD source or from the harddrive? Then comes the editing, explain please.

Forums
Good afternoon
I have to do a masteringjob of a nice piece of Rock Musik, and i have some Problems to
to restrain the high frequencies of Cymbals and Gitarre.
The goal is a "relative" hot master because the band let make a secound testmaster
at a "hardcore 0 db" masteringstudio in good old vienna.

Shelving?
Forums
Me and my brother spent a very long time recording our first song under the impression that "what doesn't sound good now will be fixed in the oh-so-amazing cool edit pro, with eq."
Boy were we wrong.

Has ANYBODY had any luck with this? ...So hard to get a decent sound because of the piss poor conversion. But every now and then I'll hear something passable (usually major label)
Anyone find any techniques that work?

changing tracks without gap in audio?
Forums
Hi all,
I'm putting together an audition recording for myself, for an orchestra. One of the requirements of the audition is that the CD needs to be indexed at various points but the audio is not aloud to stop (so they know there is no editing involved).

Adobe Audition file format and record quality
Forums
Hi,
Just started using Adobe Audition 1.5 and not sure what file formats to use.
Is WAV a better source as there are more bandwidths available or is MP3 status acceptable ?
Also - How easy is it to use a pre-amp into your pc soundcard to "lift" the quality of vocal recording ?
Anything will help.
Cheers

dithering explained
Forums
Ok, i am about to prove how novice i am. Several of the programs and hardware i've come across cam process audio at higher sampling rates and bit rates than CD format 44.1/16 bit. I have recorded songs at 48k, and 24 bit, only to find myself unable to "bounce" it back to 44.1/16 bit.
Is dithering the process i'm out of touch on?
Confused, and thanks for any help.

finalizer + sending mastered Cds to manufacturer
Forums
Hi, I have a huge workload, low budget project involving 53 CDs of dialogue. and "incidental' music for kids. I need to get it out quick and the budget isn't high so I am planning to buy a Tc electronics finalizer and do everything myself. I know DYI is not a great idea for music, but for this many discs and the nature of the material, volume and clairty are most important.
pow-R dither & mastering ?
Forums
I have been using the pow-R dither on the master fader when bouncing down in PTLE, I have definatly noticed a difference in the audio. Generally I have been using 16 bit & Noise type 1. Do any of you have preferences for the other noise types ?
Is it smarter to use the 20 bit dither when boucing down ?
