If any mastering engineers are out there. just wanted to post something up talking about the audio cube. They are now selling a dongle and you can use there plugs with out buying a huge system for 20 grand. I believe its somewhere around $300 to convert and then plugs you can try then buy the ones you prefer.

Hi everyone,

I'm new around here but been mixing and mastering for a couple of years.

Well here I am put the final touches to three new tracks getting them ready to send to Taxi for review. Before I do I would like to get them professionally mastered and I was thinking about getting some advice in preparing the tracks to send for mastering.

I wonder what the state of the industry is these days. Are more people having their work mastered by a "stand alone" M.E. or are the do-it-yourself folks making yet more inroads?

What is the Rec.ORG community doing?
Has it worked out for you?
Would you change for your next project (either way)?

I am knee deep in an editing session for a pianist and I've been thinking. There are some requests to alter the sound, and on top of that I am thinking "I may think I'm just piecing this thing together, but to him I am the last guy in the chain... when I deliver the edited CD it's off to the presses! What's mastering?"

We just finished up a CD(compilation) and we mixed it all ourselves... Pro Tools LE, Digi 002, samplers, keyboards,etc... no live instruments @ all or anyting special, outboard.

Hi there,

i'm producing some music and we release records (12").
Our music is mainly digital.

I'd like to have some information about what is the most
accurate way to finalize my tracks in the studio before to
give the pre-master to the engineer.

Hi,

Quick question.
What peaves a mastering engineer when you receive a mix? What are the biggest problems you come across that really complicate your task?
