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.

Hi Everybody,
I just found this forum 2 days ago and I am quite happy because the first result is a reserve Cutterhead I bought.
However, maybe somebody can give me some tips.
I am cutting records in real vinyl for about 3 years now and from next week starting with the "real" thing.

Hi,

Hi,

I been Pressing Vinyl for Over 20 years, mostly LPs 18 minutes and under per side. I have some new jobs coming up that require 22+ minutes per side, how much of a level loss am I going to see? Are there certain time parameters that you want to stay under to achieve certain levels?

Hi everybody,

I just bought a VMS 70 with an SX 68 Cutterhead. Anyway I am looking for a second (reserve) cutterhead. It may be a SX 68 or an SX 74.
It can be broken, that is no problem.
If somebody has one for sale please let me know.
Thanks a lot

Lex

:? I usually work with my wavelab (with inserted plugins: 1.Waves PQ10, 2. Waves C1 SC at sometimes 119 Hz, for bass compression, 3. Lin MB for Mid and Upper freq Compression if necessary, 4. Lin Eq for tweaking before limiter, 5. Steinberg Loudness Maximizer, 6. Steinberg Resample for downrate to 44.1, and last, 7. L3 multimaximizer to compesate level and dithering process.

It's great to find such an informative forum, and also people still willing to give advice. .(or maybe it's all advice to mislead the "masterworld sheep" who must be kept glued to their L2 Relgion of thinness, mud and mediocrity - all in order to save the world from the everyman producer). Sorry, excuse that. The question, or my predicament, is:

Hello everybody,

This is the question. I have heard rumours, some quite reliable that it has "gone to meet its maker".

Anyone have any info that is "solid"? Also I guess this applies to DVD-A as well.

The big news seems to be HD DVD.

Comments, abuse, invective, seething injustices ?

I mainly do spoken word recordings in my project studio. I have a good signal chain (R84 or NTK, UA6176 or STT-1, Apogee PSX-100, Lynx AES16, Sound Forge 7.0, Event PS8 monitors). I would appreciate any advice from those of you that master spoken word as to what steps you take and what common factors you consider most in mastering spoken word. Thank you.
