Although there are many tools now available for various platforms the fact is that home studios lack these important aspects that make them completely unsuitable for mastering:

I'm currently at the final stages of mixing my bands EP which I've recorded entirely at home with my own gear. I would really like to get the tracks sounding good enough to be played on local radio, but i'm not sure whether it is worth the effort to get them mastered. Is it common to get a decent sounding home recording mastered, or would i be just wasting my money?

Hi,
I took my album to Masterdisk in New York and the engineer wrote down information on this piece of paper.

What is this, what information is in the columns, and how can I use this technique in my mastering projects (is there a blank template like this out there somewhere)?

I'm sure it's obvious to most of you, but the right column are the album's track titles.

These finalizers have great reviews its just so tempting not to get one and try the wizard modes out. so i have three questions

1 jump straight in and get the tc electronic 96k and learn from the wizard mode

2 look for something secondhand like the dbx quantum

3 dont bother its just another mythe so you spend even more on being curious :roll:

I'm trying to start a project/club at the high school where I work and am looking for your advice on an all in one solution for our recording and mastering needs. Basically a stereo (bypassable) mic preamp and compressor/limiter for under $2000. My students are mostly into hip hop and rnb.

Ok, I'm using Ahead Nero to burn my CDs and Im about to create a master CD to send off to a pressing plant for duplication.

However I want to make sure I'm mastering to red book standard so the plant dont reject it.

Its funny how people always say you should send your stuff to the pro's but I've heard some work out of mastering houses that are crappy . They say these mastering house have high-endequipment so tell me how can they make a product worse . Out of respect for these engineers I wont mention the famous mastering house .
