I know this is hardly the most exciting topic, but does anyone here have any suggestions on mastering the spoken word to meet broadcast quality. There are three speakers, each using a different mic, and each erratically speaking quietly and loudly (with a few mic pops) throughout the hour. Any help would certainly be appreciated. Thanks.

A friend just bought a project pack, got the free LA-2A and wondered what would be good for buying and downloading expressly for mastering?

I recommended

Fairchild
Pulteq
Precision Limiter
Precision EQ

At least that is what I have used when not analog. and of course an electric cowbell

Thanks!

I am beginning to approach mastering my recordings, and am not quite sure where to begin. I know this involves equalization, spacing and so on, as well as removing hiss, etc, but I am sure that there are those out there who have actually mastered their digital tracks, and thus have more experience than I.

Hi there, I was just wondering if there is anyone on here with much experience in mastering for electronica - specifically the dancefloor varietys like House, Drum and Bass and Techno.

Hey guys. Hope all is well.
I've got a bit of a dilemma. We're recording our second album right now, and we're in the process of mixing and also search for a mastering enginner.It's hip hop stuff. We've decided to mix the album ourselves since we are indie and our budget is really tight at this point.

Ever wondered what your song would sound like after it has been profesionally mastered.

What do you have to lose.
What do i have to gain, Experience.
Cheers.

So you get a bunch of songs that actually sound really bad - especially if it's a compilation and there's no one producer for each song...so there's really no one to "look over your shoulder"...how much do you try to be a hero and how much do you just try to stay true to the original, warts and all?
