Im making a mixed tape, and I'm using other producers mastered beats..what I'm wondering is after recording the vocals and all the other sounds and what nots that I track later. should I compress of or eq the mixdown? It seems to me that this will effect the quality of the beat.

help is appreciated

hey guys i just made my budget for some new gears...i guess i m becoming gain concious just because of few of my regular clients..cuz they want the pumped up sound like Bhangra from UK asian people. .

I use Pro Tools and mix my music with anolog desk.I want the pro mastering engineers to master my music.
Which can be the most useful material for them to make big changes in sound? CD? md? dat? dvd? I asked them already but they all say the same thing. ALL FORMATS ARE AVAILABLE . :?

Hello

Whats considered to be the ideal dimensions for a mastering studio, length, width, height?
Failing getting the ideal space what are the smallest dimensions you could live with ?

Cheers

When I master to get a good level, the levels do rise around -0.3, but the sound gets harsh, the music gets forceful, even when volume is low. Especially when using (Me loudmaximiser). Is there any way to keep the smoothness of the music, when raising the volume level up on your final mix, or should i turn things down in the mix, so when I do master, it automatically comes out.

I should start by saying that I believe in getting a proper recording professionally mastered before release...

But I need some affordable plugins that are better quality than the stock digi plugins. This is for "home mastering" mixes to be given to fellow musicians, etc.. I'm pretty happy with the new EQIII that Digi just released, but the stock compressors and limiters...

I need to find a mixing/mastering studio to work with for my bands album. We are using pro tools and or logic. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

I need a good studio to mix and master my Pro Tools or logic recording session. I live in California if anybody out there has suggestions Id much appreciate it

Everyone,

Thanks again for the continued support. I continue my quest [I won't get into it, email me if you are curious ptfiggMac.com].

For anyone interested, Musicians Friend has Wavelab Essential for $99. It goes for $199 everywhere else I've seen. I would get it fast because it apprears to be a scew up on their part.
