Im new to recording and have limited equipment and funds, so if my method seems unorthodox, please forgive me. What I have been doing so far is recording through an analog mixer to a stand-alone 24 track hard disk (Mackie SDR). I track up to 22 tracks and then mix these while bouncing the stereo mix to the last 2 tracks.

Could anyone out there give me a heads up on Wave Burner Pro or anyother Digidesign compatible mastering solution. I am a heavy Logic Audio user so Wave Burner seems like an obvious choice.I have a full on TDM system with all of the trimings. I am less concerned with plugins then I am having a good sound user interface.

Check this out. I read this in the liner notes of a bluegrass spoof album today. This is a commercial release on an independent label. Just curious what you guys will have to say about this, especially mastering engineers here. While I do not agree in whole with what's being said here, I understand the angle from which it comes.

Has anyone read this book?
Mastering Audio: The ART and the Science

Can someone explain and clarify the level difference between Lacquer and Direct Metal Mastering for an identical recording cut using each method?

I have chance to buy one for about 1300 euros. What do you think about this EQ for mastering purpose anyway.

Hi

Any general tips you all use to figure out the best song order when doing your mastering?

Any advice or opinions on an Otari MX7000 1/2" 2 trk recorder?
