Hi - hope you can all help. I've had a run of glass-mastered CDs made and they've just come back with this fault.

I thought that the interview with Tim Debney and Nick Watson at Fluid Mastering would be interesting in case you've not seen it. The thing that is most interesting is the mastering engineers perspective and the way they look at material supplied to them. Fluid is a top London mastering studio and the guys used to work at Townhouse so have a lot of experience.

Please let me know what you think about this PLEXTOR - L890SA?
I need a slow burning drive with the PlexUTILITIES for mastering. This one comes with it and it's not expensive.

i know that a slow mastering burning at x2 or x4 is good, this one i'm not sure if it goes below x8?
Can i use this Plextor? Can anybody recommend or help me with this?

Hey there everyone!

Not too sure if this is the right place to post this, but I'm looking for someone who is willing to MASTER & MIX a few songs for me. I'm very new to home-recording, just a few pieces of equipment, and as such I would be ever so grateful if someone would be willing to MASTER & MIX a few songs for me. I'll happily give credit and even post about your work!

So I just finished mixing my record and am gonna start shopping around to get it mastered.

I've currently got this chain on the end of my mix
Waves NLS > EQ for mids > EQ for highs > Waves NLS > Cytomic Glue Compressor >Audio Damage ADverb >
MidSide EQ > Waves NLS > SSL Compressor > Waves L2 Ultramaximizer

I'm doing research on remastering to vinyl. As some of you know, I'm investing in analog gear and hybrid summing and now looking into digital to vinyl remastering as a fun side line. If you are doing this, I would love to hear from you. Here is an example of what I am talking about:
Vestax VRX 2000 Vinyl Recorder

I've been trying to master this song for one of my clients and everything I do doesn't seem to work the way I wanted it. I used a multi-pressor, compressor, limiter, EQ, low-cuts, stereo spread, everything. The way it sounds now is not the way I wanted it. I want it louder without clipping (if possible) and more crisp sounding, like actual songs I hear on CDs, and want it radio approved.

Im going to be opening a recording studio in the near future, and cant decide on what mastering software to use.
I have PT 10 NOT HD and a C24 board. I have Apogeeinterfaces and b2 bomber converters.
