Your favourite analog eq for mastering?

Forums

Hi!

I mostly record and mix, but in a small budget projects I sometimes do the mastering also. For now I've been using only plugins for that application, but I'm planning to get outboard eq and maybe a great compressor for mastering purposes.

So, all you masteringmasters, what eq and comp should I get?

FYI, almost all my projects are in rock/pop -genre.

I'm switching back to analog! Suggestions please...

Here's the history: for a long time, I was running my 8 hardware synths and tracking vox/gtr through a Mackie 3204LM into an Audiowerk 2 card into Logic Plat. Upgraded the Audiowerk to MOTU 2408mkIII and was fairly happy. Then decided to get the 24I/O and lose the mixer and haven't been happy since.

searching for analog-to-ADAT- and ADAT-to-analog-converter

i need more OUTs/INs for my MOTU 828mk II.
so i wanna buy an analog-to-ADAT- and ADAT-to-analog-converter (each 8 channels)!
somebody told me the RME ADI-8 PRO is a good choice. is it?
are there other alternatives? maybe cheaper with the same quality ;-)

THANX in advance for your tips!

Printing mixes to analog for mastering. . benefits?

Forums

Hey guys, Im hoping some ME's can tell me what the sound benefits of printing DAW mixes to 1/2 inch are, and what kind of situation call for this process. I'll be finshing up a metal record pretty soon, and I want to know if this process is worth spending the extra $$'s on.

Thanx a lot!
