hello i am using izotope ozone 7 to master my original songs and am having trouble with the overall loudness or dynamics of the things i master. for example when i listen to my reference tracks and turn up the volume on my headphones or monitors, i have no problem with distortion or have any problems with irritating my ears.

I LOVE THIS! Bob Katz home mastering studio. kick back and master.

I thought this was worth sharing

are there like tape pressing places that would take my cassette or do i need some kind of mastering deck.

I have a valued client that is mandating I use mp3s to "remaster" CDs for replication. Those new production CDs are then converted back to mp3s for posting on their website. I need more info to convince them this is a BAD idea. Suggestions? Links to professional data on the web? Personal experience? Thanks!

Found this an interesting read on mixing & mastering at 96kHz and thought it would be worth sharing.

Per last post in the Stairway Mix thread I've settled on a mix for this particular vocalist. The unmastered 24 bit .wav file for that is here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/5frcrwdb5m1maxy/Stairway-MichellePV9.wav?dl=0

Using Reaper: Decided to do a quick master as a proof of concept/workflow and just wanted to review it. Here's what I did:

1. Took my latest mix and rendered it 44.1, 24bit with the Master bus fader on Zero (null) to a .wav. which produced a track with the following info on analysis
   

Hi there!

Greetings..

I am really interested in Howie Weinberg to master an upcoming album. There is no label involved but all the reference tracks were done by him.. considering the style of music of course they are..
