Hi Don,

Greetings ppl.
I extracted some music tracks from a concert DVD and these are in PCM 24Bit/48Khz .wav files, so I'm going to make them CD-ready (16Bit/44.1Khz) in SoundForge 7.0 but I was wondering if there is any impact on quality if I lower the bit-depth first and then do the SRC or should I do it the other way around?

hi

just listen and tell me your opinion... about...

many thanxx!

I'm still learning the basics of audio engineering, but would like to start understanding what is involved in the mastering process as well. I'm going to pick up the Bob Katz book, but I don't want it to go completely over my head. Does his book start out answering "what is mastering?" Is there anything else I should look into?

Hi everyone !

While I was relaxing, drinking a nice and fresh Belgium beer (Chimay bleu) 8) and reading some posts here at the forum, I asked to myself a silly question:

"Would it be a good time for the next GROUP PROJECT?"

I do softly spoken word recordings (medical hypnosis applications), and have an 6 week deadline to record a 16-CD instructional project. I have never used an ME before but would like to trust my audio files to an ME for this project. The audio publishing company is quite prominent and has a studio available with engineer/etc.

Hi People!

How do you like the Stereo Vitalizer MKII-T or the Tube Vitalizer? (SPL)

I worked with the first one and I used it after the Stereo Comp. It sounds very interesting to me.
Your opinions?

isn't the mix wrong in the first place?

I ask these and many more questions to come as a complete newbie to the world of mastering.

regards

Uzo

Hi,
are any of you guys using this product by Bob Katz? If so, is it any good?

beya

I'm only 17 and have been making electronic music for a while and I've been developing a lot in music production, but I am having trouble mastering. Normally I'll run raw recordings through adobe audition, use the eq that comes with the software, and use a voxengo compressor untill I get the sound I want. my main problem is volume.
