First, Thanks for all that can help.

I have a $150 voucher for a UAD plug. I have a UAD card and currently own the Pultec, UAD Cambridge, 1176, LA-2A , Fairchild, Precision Limiter, Plate 140, Dreamverb and Realverb, and Precision EQ.

We are a not for profit spiritual organization and cannot offered to go for professional mastering. We record strictly male vocals in a semi-studio setup (sound proof & acoustic treated). We have only one speaker and we don't even add music. We are able to record fairly well.

First, I've done some searches on here and tailored the question to represent such.
Second, "minimum" is meant to be a flexible term.

I've been reading some of the discussions here related to questions like "How do you master"? Instead of asking the same question yet again, I would like to approach this from a slightly different angle.

What is a good proffessional mastering (authoring) software for Mac, that can handle all aspects of making the final master and save in most used formats? I need it to handle CD Text, ISRC codes, EAN or UPC code etc. I use Roxio Jam now but I dont think Roxio makes Jam anymore. New Toast can do the ISRC and CD text, but not make a DPP image, and the CD-plant dont want a Toast image.

Hi There, I was wondering if their is a mastering guideline manual for making sure my masters are suitable for radio broadcast. Someone told me if you use too much reverb that the radio stations wouldn't play them. Is this true? Is there a guide for radio broadcast suitability available for download somewhere?

(I am using Adobe audition 3, Sony Sound Forge 7, with Ozone 3)

Hi,
I have been doing a search for "high-end " converters.

I came across the Mytek Stereo 96 AD DA series. Anyone else using them?

I have already given up from the Apogee Rosetta 200, Aurora 8 and the 192 I/O.

Also, do you guys use mixed brands for the a/d d/a? For example, use a more expensive a/d like Lavry Black and a simpler D/a from Apogee, Mytek?

Abt 6 months ago I posted here that a mastering CD would be made and sure 'nuff, here it is: A Mastering Cd..

Bet there'll be some others later.

Mitch Gallagher's Project Studio Mastering DVDs.

Hello guys I'm new to mastering myself, and i did a decent job on a few house tracks but theres a subtle difference in volume between some of them after i burn them to CD. How do i get them all together at the same level so the project sounds more unified? Im mastering in pro tools

Hey everyone, nice forums, glad to be here. I apologize for the somewhat long post, but I'd really appreciate some help.
