I need your feed back on an issue I am not very familiar with. I own a Computer Graphics Company (been around for over 12 years) and not a Novice, and do a lot of Recording of my Gospel Music at a friend of mines studio. He has one of the most powerful studios I have ever been in with two Yamaha 16 track Didigal Boards and a Rack full of enhansment and Editing tools.

I thought it might be a good topic to discuss amps.

I know a lot of guys use Bryston, Rotel and McIntosh. But what else is out there? What are the advantages of different brands in comparison to the others? What are studios like Sterling Sound using?

Go into detail on your opinions on power amplifiers, if you would.

would love to know people's tips for mastering live acoustic recordings. i run acoustic gigs in london, record people's sets then mix them either on the Yamaha AW16G i record them on, or take the recordings into Cubase and Audition to have more of a play with.

Hi, I was wondering what you all thought, I personally like to make my masters at a certain level, not as loud as many albums have been mastered lately, because I like to keep the dynamics intact, so I take the master mix to aproximately -10dB RMS, but this is kinda quiet compared to some of the newest rock albums in which most songs are taken to levels that can reach -5dB RMS, of course dynami

I just have a few questions.

*Signal processors. When you receive someone's mix, how do you feed it back into the DAW? Do you go through a set number of compressors or EQ's first before you processes it internally or what? Where does the audio start from, from a CD source or from the harddrive? Then comes the editing, explain please.

Hey, i'm Simon, i'm new to this forum.
I'm a musician and i have few years of expeprience in recording/mixing,
mainly its mixing. i got some questions about mastering but first of all..
my big question is: (i might put things incorrectly so please correct me)

Hi I'm a newbie when it comes to mastering/mixing, I'm hoping someone here can give me some advice or put me in the right direction. Any help appreciated as I don't even know where to start.

Has ANYBODY had any luck with this? ...So hard to get a decent sound because of the piss poor conversion. But every now and then I'll hear something passable (usually major label)

Anyone find any techniques that work?

Ok, everyone loves Bowers and Wilkens for mastering, but what else are you guys using? Also, what are your preferred amps?

I think it would be very useful if everyone listed them at different price levels, if you know of anything other than the most expensive that is still mentionable.

Just wondering if you guys mught have any suggestions for editing/mastering software for the Mac platform. I'm running Logic and am a bit frustrated by it's editing capabilites (or lack thereof). I really don't need "mastering" software, per se, as I'm going to be outsourcing my final mixes to someone more qualified, but I'd like the option to tweak my mixes beyond what Logic offers.
