many thanxx!

I'm still learning the basics of audio engineering, but would like to start understanding what is involved in the mastering process as well. I'm going to pick up the Bob Katz book, but I don't want it to go completely over my head. Does his book start out answering "what is mastering?" Is there anything else I should look into?

Hi everyone, my friend's band is releasing their first CD on a small indie label, and the mastering engineer has requested that they send a standard 16 bit 44.1 listening CD as the master source, which he will "play" into a computer via an analog front end. Is this a standard practice for some mastering engineers?

I heard great things about the System 6000. ($10,000)
But if all you want is to master a two track bus, the extra features of the 6000 including surround sound appears to be an over kill for my needs. I have not seen much more on it that would justify me wanting it on this time. Though the George Massenburg EQ is nice.

I'm only 17 and have been making electronic music for a while and I've been developing a lot in music production, but I am having trouble mastering. Normally I'll run raw recordings through adobe audition, use the eq that comes with the software, and use a voxengo compressor untill I get the sound I want. my main problem is volume.

What's the best one?

Hello everybody,

I mainly do spoken word recordings in my project studio. I have a good signal chain (R84 or NTK, UA6176 or STT-1, Apogee PSX-100, Lynx AES16, Sound Forge 7.0, Event PS8 monitors). I would appreciate any advice from those of you that master spoken word as to what steps you take and what common factors you consider most in mastering spoken word. Thank you.

I mainly do spoken word recordings and have reached the point of needing to upgrade my monitors. Last week I visited Sounds True in Boulder to discuss a project I am recording for them. In their control room I was impressed by both the room acoustics and the Genelec monitors as I listened/watched as they recorded another artist.
