Greetings all,

I have a new Alesis Masterlink on the way. Does anyone have a suggestion as to what the best CD-R's I should use for mastering or mixdown.

Thanks,

Hello,

We're doing a 4 songs demo-CD (french songs, jazz, bossa...) and we did a little bit of mastering ourselves, though we don't know much about it. We consider asking a professional engineer to do it but I'm not sure to what extent it will bring an added value compared to what we have today.

Hi guys. This is my first post here. I want to give you a quick background of why i'm here. I've been working on my home recordings for about 6 months now. I record my own band and we are in the process of complting our lineup. Once that is finished we would like to record our own album independently and pursue tourning.

I had started threads in forums for my local city offering my services for recording demos basically. One dj guy responded asking about mastering, i said id give it a go just to see if i could help him, but he just sent me a loop of about 5 seconds long with 2 notes.
I'm just asking is it common to master that or is he just misled?

A reference made in the following article is gestalt, this means the overall perception of the mind from all the instruments and sounds. We all have preferences to sound based on what genres we follow, for myself it is the reggae sound.
All genres can and do benefit from reggae. The Beatles, Eric Clapton, Led Zeppelin...

Hi everyone,

I've been messing with a series of songs to attempt to come up with a coherent sound before burning a CD.

I was wondering the Neve porticos eq will make good eq for mastering. I just bought a Portico setup, including 2 eq and a tape driver and u can bus them all together. Im only miising the compressor. I was also wondering if the Portico compressor will do the trick or it will be better to get a multiband compressor? Thanku

ok so we have made a documentary, and mixed the audio track, which includes speech, and a lot of (already mastered) music. now our problem is, this sounds fine, but we have a volume issue, there are no visible peaks, but apparant audio clips when playing on a tv, and also our main volume(its peaking at -0.2 and its rms is - 8) does not compare to a standard dvd/tv show.

Hello!

I was considering making some mastering tests using a nagra T-audio tape recorder...
But here's the thing, i just can't have it to record while at 30ips (maybe some option not available or something), it reads but it won't record...

has anyone already heard about that?
