I feel that I have done a good enough Job but not for vinyl, I need an expert to do that. So where can I find one? Are there companies out there what specialise in mastering peoples work, prepairing it to be pressed onto vinyl? Are you one of these people? PLease assist me because Im having no luck what so ever in finding someone suitable.

Thank you. Regards, Adam.

Greetings,

Through a friend's suggestion, I have found my way to this forum to get a push in the right direction toward "cleaning-up / re-mastering" a LIVE U2 show that was recorded in the old Seattle Superdome. This venue is (was) a MASSIVE concrete structure, made for baseball and not a rock show. As a result, there is much "room noise" and "reverb / echo" present.

I listen to my mixes and have a good setup on my DAW. Mic and Pre etc. when song is exported out, it dosn't have sheen my friend gets with same set up. I have more mud and less clarity.

Can someone give me some basic ground rules (I know they don't always apply) such as should I use a low shelf. Boost in high-end12khz area etc?

I've got an interesting and somewhat unexpected situation to deal with, regarding a project I'm just wrapping up.

I am looking into some new mastering speakers. I went to a couple of shops to hear the new B&W 802Ds but neither shop had them hooked up so I have been invited to go back when they are hooked up. I am also looking at the ATCs and the PMCs. We currently have ALON I vs with a Bryston 4B amplifier and a Benchmark DAC-1 head end.

I'm just curious. I read somewhere (don't remember where) that in order to achieve loud levels in mastering you have to mix your song a certain way. but they didn't say how.

Now my question to all ME's out there is, what must a mix have, or not have, to get a maximum of level without squashing it or getting undesired pumping?

I'd appreciate any comments.

Hi! So I finally decided to pull out some of my old tapes and digitally remaster them. I originally recorded these on a Tascam 688 (standard audio cassette tapes, 8 tracks unidirectional). I have an eight channel snake running from the 688 to the 002 rack.

hello ppl,

my prob is...

my mix file is in 48hz and 24bits

i master... i render, when i save as 44.1hz and 16bits,
i'm gonna listening in other prog the file, and i have less high freq., a lot less.

what i need to kill ? to resolve this problem ?

I did a search here but no luck.

Is there a CD that gives examples of pre-and-post mastered music one could listen to. Maybe with notes about each example and techniques used to create the final.

I've been reading some mastering books and inevitably come across all kinds of subjective words like grainy, or boxy etc etc.

It would be nice if we had a glossary of terms used by MEs and a description or even audio examples of each.

Anyone know where we could find that info?
