Hello, I've been recording for a couple of years, basically just teaching myself as I go along, adding better microphones to my arsenal, and upgrading my mixer to a Yamaha AW-16G.

I have only been mixing through headphones (I'm going to buy decent monitors), and have only used the mastering presets on my digital mixer.

It is often talked about the Yin and Yang of EQing (eg. Bob Katz in his book): Boosting a frequency has the same effect as attenuating another frequency in another range.

Is there a relation between Yin and Yang frequencies that could be expressed in musical intervalls like boosting a frequency gives a similar result as attenuating for example one octave above or below?

This is að C/P from the budget gear section, since I won't get any answears there..

I'm looking for a good sub to use with Yamaha MSP5's. I wan't some really accurate, someone usable for mastering (although my room ain't jet).

I'll have to confess I don't have a clue what to look for in subs... I've only been looking at monitors until now.

Here is my updated master which I hope incorporates all the lessons I learned from http://recording.or…"]this discussion ("Is the Price of Mastering Really Worth It? pt.

I've been learning about pre-masking and post-masking lately, and I can't figure out how these pyschoacoustic phenominon affect limiting in the mastering chain.

I just tried this crazy experiment, and I need help understanding the results.

Here's what I did:

1. I turned up the final output volume in my mastering chain so loud that it created very noticable digital clipping in the loud sections of the song. I exported this song.

2. I then exported a quieter version with no digital clipping.

I have a project where the titles of the tracks need to show up on a CD player. How can this be done. Which program? I have waveburner, can this do it? Please help.

Hey all -

Nothing to write home about for some of you, I'm sure, but I'm heading off to Airshow Mastering today to get a track of one of my clients mastered. I'm gonna sit in on this one just for the shear sake of learning and watching.

I'm so excited, I can't hardly contain it!
(I know, I have issues...)

Currently doing a few vinyl transfers for an archival project through a flat preamp... On some of the recordings, I'll need to apply the RIAA curve, but I've had a bit of a difficult time finding exact numbers for it. I know on playback it involves a pretty substantial bass boost and a high cut, but I don't know much else...

Thanks in advance...
