As I am just about to shell out some serious cash, I wanted to make sure I have not forgotten any options. Basically, I am looking for a compressor, an Eq and a reverb unit that would be appropriate for most of my recordings (classical, jazz and world).

What is so special about mastering studios? Do they use any special equipment?

Greetings,

I've done my research and i've sat in on other mastering engineers as they've mastered for CD, then applied different settings for wax.

What i need to know is, how much (db) limiting can i use on the mix before it will prove troublesome for the cutting process?

Being hip hop , all the spikes are kicks and snares.

Hey

I recieved my TL Audio 5052 stereo valve proccessor, I originally bought it to better and broaden my preamp selection but through some resellers they are pitching the unit as a mastering device.

As a preamp, wow! It's the first time I'am working hard to keep the ingrediants from getting too wide.

Hey all ... i dont have a lot of money or a studio setup but i do enjoy makin music .. anyway ... i dont have any live drum recording setup so i rely on sequenced drums .. which i do .. using fruity loops & some acoustic samples ... my question is .. how do i make the sequenced drums sound real? i mean yea they're not real so cant happen .. but how do i get as close as possible ..

Good day gentlemen,

I am currently looking for a good mastering house, preferably in Europe, to master classical recordings for vinyl. Are some of you guys in this business, and if not, could you name respectable places for this job?

Best,
Thomas

Hello all,

Please forgive me if I'm being totally out of line here, but I wanted to ask for some advice and opinions on a project I've been partly involved in.

I've been doing some keyboard overdubs for this band, but also recorded two tracks in my garage.

Hey guys,

This is probs gonna be a stupid question but I can't seem to find a answer to the obvious.

Right, so have recorded all the tracks that I need for the song. I have applied the appropriate EQ, Compression, Effects etc to the tracks and have Mixed them to my taste.

Hi there,

I would like to have a listen at good mixes before the mastering stage mainly regarding pop or rock music.

My goal is to get some examples to compare my mixes with, before the mastering stage.

Any place where I can get these ?
