Hi,
If I send one of my tracks to be mastered... What do i send? Each track in the mix? Or the whole song? another thing... do i remove all of the effects put on to the song? How does it work?

Thanks,
Spiro

Hey all --

Im just finishing up mixing and readying an EP for one of the group's i produce.
This is the first times we've ever had anything mastered, so i have a couple of questions! :

1) What levels should the final bounced mix be at? Obviously not clipping. And does it matter if there was an L2 limiter placed over the Master, or would u rather not.

I came across the following site via another newsgroup:

(Boycott Inglotted CDs)

I'm trying to start a project/club at the high school where I work and am looking for your advice on an all in one solution for our recording and mastering needs. Basically a stereo (bypassable) mic preamp and compressor/limiter for under $2000. My students are mostly into hip hop and rnb.

Laptop w/ 2.4 gig 60 gigHD and 728 ram.
Firewire port. Samplitude 7.

Getting material into computer via Masterlink 24bit disk into the computer's CDrom.

What hardware do I need to get out of the fire wire port into the Crane Song Hedd?

Thanks
Woods

Hi, i recently did a mix and "master" for a band i recorded. I'm finding the lows to be boomy especially on the kick drum and bass guitar, this might have as simple a solution as turning down the bass freqs, but i'm not quite able to do this without losing all the bass freqs entirely.

Any Hi-End mastering studio monitor and preamp and poweramp recommend?

I am using Dynaudio acoustic M3 and ADAM S5A before,
I want to upgrade my equipment
