In Short:
Does anyone know a mastering plug/software that's free and works for Windows98?

hey guys

i record on a boss br-8 8 track recorder and i want to know if there is anyway that i can master the song once i have it on a CD and upload it to my computer
does nebody know of any software that could help me with this?

Have any of you bought them? Heard them in a good environment? Read any reviews that you trust?

So does anyone have suggestions for measuring perceived volume in a Mastered track?
I set the max output to -.01 db but out of 6 tracks some sound louder the others.
This is of course because of the perceived volume caused by limiting the track.

Is there anyway to measure perceived volume and then subsequently make the proper adjustments?

Hi all -

I'm doing my own mastering for a demo using the UAD set of mastering plugs. I'm wondering if there's any disadvantage to loading the master channel of a song's DAW session with the mastering suite, getting the sound I like, and bouncing the final from there vs bouncing the mix to a stereo track and mastering the bounce.

Dear friends,
I've taken the decision to change my main monitoring system but I don't really know what to do.

I have a question for the pros among you about mixing prior to mastering. I've been trying to find an answer and haven't been able to turn anything up. I've been working up the courage to post here for days, because I'm in awe of you guys and I know I'm an idiot by comparison. I hope this isn't too stupid...

After my mix is complete, should I export to a stereo WAV file, and then load that back into Cubase or another program for mastering, or just add the master effects to my mix, and export the whole thing in one shot?
Are there advantages or disadvantages to either method?

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.

I heard a nasty rumor that the new releases are going to be overly hot. I sure hope not. That would ruin the sound of those old recordings. Anyone in the know about this?
