I am working on my own mixes, and plan to bring them to a mastering studio. Ideally, what is he/she looking for? Would it be a stereo mix on a wav. file? What kind of levels are the best for the mastering engineer to work from? Do most mastering engineers mind if the client is present while the mastering is done, say on a three song demo?

I am confused by the mastering plugins. Can any comp/limiter be used to boost levels during mastering, or does one need a dedicated mastering plug in?

Hi

I'm a new member to the recording forum and would like some help on the following:

I want to create my first CD which of course involves:

1. mastering my tracks
2. getting artwork done
3. finding a duplication house
4. further promotion

I did the mastering but not the cutting...

For those who are interested in sitting in on a mastering session with Bob Katz:

Lol, I like how this guy is doing comparisons.:rolleyes:

I know this should probably go in the home mastering section but it's not specifically about a technical aspect of mastering but more a general question about it. I put together some decent sounding home recordings using straight in vox gear for guitars, a decent Audio-Technica condenser mic for vocals and other instruments, and a lot of VSTs for drums and such.

Need something better than the supplied Logic Limiter. Now don't get me wrong, I find it acceptable and completely useable, just so long as the attenuation is less than 0. I want something that is going to help make my mixes louder while retaining a full frequency spectrum and without compressing the mix too much. And without that goddamn scratchy clipping or sudden volume dives.

Need to add polish to a track?

Need to add consistency to an EP?

Need to sort out a track that wasn't recorded well?

Or perhaps you just need someone to take your songs away with a fresh perspective and bring them into a finished, sellable state?

All of the above we can do, and for September only, we've slashed our prices; just for you!
