Mastering Tips/Info?

[digitalbunny]

Anyone have some EQ or compressor plugin recommendations? Right now i can run as many as 8 EQs on a single sample and still want more. :p

For mastering?
Linear phase stuff ... PSP Neon is a great EQ and the waves linear phase multiband compressor is good as well.
Have fun

hi,
i just bought an emu 0404 usb2.0 audio and midi interface, in this hardware packet was a lot of software, including proteus vx soundmodule, so it is abvious legit in what i'm trying to do. I just installed it the last time on my pc, but i changed some hardware inside the pc and formatted my hardisc. Now if i want to run the program it says i have to
" you have to unload your debugger before you run this program" anybody have an idea what a debugger is and how to unload it?
thx anyway.

you can get the book by bob katZ_mastering audio_the art the science_
the reading is very enjoyable it also breaks some of the bulshit myths
Invest on some good speakers_and some sh!t speaker's
use the stereo in your car.
Set up 2 listening environements at home.
Give your self some time_its a long term leaning process.
get some coffee-and biscuits-
Get a nice set of head phones-eg senheizer hd 600-

A mixture of both should get you started
The more you do it the better you get at it_

the most confusing bit is the variety of opinions-

what is linear phase stuff?

[digitalbunny]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_phase
combats frequency/harmonic distortion in EQ'ing
Essentially it's more transparent, less obvious and lets you really narrow down offending frequencies

probably not much use outside of mastering or whole track EQ'ing

[ano.phi]

Yes.. This is what is very important to me. Breaking apart offending frequencies is probably what i spend alot of time on seeing as i do alot of sample mashing to get the sounds i want. On top of that i definately need something to warm up the sound after i've spent a day EQing and filtering the bajesus out of a sound, hence the inquiry about compressors.

Whoops..

As ANdi Vax says in his nice video, forget about mastering, just try to make a proper mix and good EQs, that'll be enough ...
