Hi gang,

This is an attempt at mastering while explaining the process and using only Samplitude plugins..
Tell me what you think ! (remember I'm not a ME ! ;)

My main missing things are
LUFS metering
M/S processing
Having long peak holds on the spectrum analyser.
 

Hi gang,

This is my first attemp at this and I hope it will get many comments and questions.
I didn't script the dialog and made it not so perfect in hope people will participate.

Let me know what you think :

What a challenge.
Im simple, I like old school play rewind fast forward record
push the button and go
Ive had tape machines, Adats, HD 24, and now using the Behringer X Touch with 2 Extenders to have 24 tracks of control.
Its a studio in my home, mostly for my projects.
I find I havent been using the X touch at all, other than play and record.

I would like to know what you all think about this: which, in your opinion, is the best workflow for mastering an album:

1 - 2 tracks (as traditionally compares to a game of chess);
2 - each song in its own track, so the project will have much more than 2 tracks (usually 10 or more tracks)

I recently stumbled onto some workflow that has really helped me get better drum tracks with Superior Drummer 2.0 ---- many thanks to Rick Beato:

Another article we published if you guys are interested.

Using Reaper: Decided to do a quick master as a proof of concept/workflow and just wanted to review it. Here's what I did:

1. Took my latest mix and rendered it 44.1, 24bit with the Master bus fader on Zero (null) to a .wav. which produced a track with the following info on analysis
   

Up until now as I've worked in Reaper when I render my project I've done an all or nothing kind of thing - rendering everything as the mastermix and I realize there may be some limitations on this.

Now my computer is powerful enough to handle this - lot's of headroom with memory and CPU -- I'm assuming I shouldn't lose quality with this approach but I may be wrong.

Nearly all of us here on RO started out as musicians before we became involved in the technical side of music and recording, and while I know that there are some guys here who have let go of the music part over the years, and have decided to concentrate solely on the engineering and production end of things, I know there are those engineers who still perform and write.
