Hello to everyone, this is my first post here. :)
I have been reading about mastering lately, bought Bob Katz's Mastering Audio-The art and the science and I really find it exciting!

Now, maybe my question has been asked a thousand times here and maybe you are too tired of hearing it but I couldn't help it, sorry! :oops:

I don't know if anyone has seen the latest issue of EQ Magazine, but Massive Mastering has the back page, "Room with a VU". I thought it was pretty cool that a guy that gives so much of his time and knowledge to this forum gets some pretty cool press.

Congrats John!

Does a wav file retain the bit rate that it was created from? If I record a track at 24/48 then make a wav file for transfer to my computer, will that file still be 24/48? Problably a pretty basic question, but I was under the impression that wavs. were uncompressed media.

Thanks,

Justin

MEs... what is your favorite current EQ?
...what is the EQ you would most like to have?
Analog, Digital, Software, New, Vintage, etc.

my current fave is the Millennia NSEQ-2 with mastering mod.

My fantasy EQ ...the big dog Sontec 432 with the really big knobs !

My Current EQ LineUp:

Millennia NSEQ-2 -amazing clarity, looks great

This is going to sound pretty dumb but I'm an older guy and to me a recording machine is something that has big wheels that go round and round.

Now suppose I want to send four tracks of sound mixed down from those big wheels, to a mastering service to be made into a relatively professional-sounding two-channel commercial recording.

Hey Guys,

First of all, let me start by saying Hi! Im new to the site (my first post) ive heard good things about the site and hope that it benefits myself as an engineer and possibly even some of you if i can add some good input.

Anyways... here is my question...

hello,
i just discover the forum, :D
i work in a mastering studios and i m doeing a film about vinyl cutting for my school project .

Is there a trick for getting all 12 tracks on an album at the same percieved volume?

Tracks I'm currently working with were done over 1 year's time, so the volumes vary quite a bit, even after using my 'evil L2'.

OK My PC Brothers (& Cousins),

I'm one of those Mac Die-Hards... 20 years and counting.
Lost count how many I've had... Fat Mac 512k thru G5.

i'm trying to find the right final levels for a alt CD i'm working on. my sound right now is much softer than pro CDs i reference, but all my mixes right now are at their maximum before they start to peak.
