The difference lies in both the confidence and the lack of excuses that a cost-no-object approach gives both you and the performers. It's why some of us would much rather rent the very best than own second-best.

hi all,
hope you can help me with an issue of mine...
i'm working on the musical project of mine (not alone) for more than 2 years, an instrumental electronic music project (not trance).
we finished writing the composition and recorded demo versions for all songs, found a good english mixer to work with and we're started to record the master.

can somebody give me a basic definition of MASTERING. thank u

Boy have I reads a lot on this topic, some practical advice, some experienced advice and way too much chest beating.

i am fairly new at recording and am actually just learning a bunch from this forum thanks for all your guys advice..

i was just looking at a preamp on ebay and saw all of its specs.. i was a bit cofused... i know some of the laydown to what they all are but am not deffinatly sure.

Hey,

What is the definition of "bass" that needs to be mono for vinyl?

I'm seeing different numbers -- below 125 Hz, 150 Hz, 300 Hz, 400 Hz?

Is there any official definition?

Does it depend on what the bass is doing? Traditional "stereo image" versus actively bouncing around? Fairly compressed level versus punchy amplitude changes?

Please forgive me for asking this question.
