Thank you Nick for the very good insight. I am actually mastering my tunes and others. Very good point about db levels and the advancement of digital audio. I can remember when Pro Tools out of the Tool Box and ADATS would cause the binge-gringe at 16bit... Oooooh! Pain...

Mastering To Or For Different Players Yikes Earbuds? AND NOW...... Gain and to Dither or Not To Dither that is the Dithering Question! Well I looked over all the response posts previously and went courageously forward to Master with artistic fever, yet I lost the the mix-session tweaking each mixed ...

There's a pretty neat little plugin by Airwindows called "Monitoring" that replicates a few different types of speaker response and is super-handy for on the fly checking. I realise this might not be as good as going to the real thing but flicking to the PHONE setting for a couple of bars may be al...

The real test for me is listening on my little mono tivoli radio in the kitchen. I set the volume low and do my usual kitchen stuff. I’m doing it right now actually. Washing the dishes, reading recording forums, eating breakfast and only half paying attention to the music. If something sticks out i...

people who leave the loudness button on, Man the loudness button makes my phonograph sound like garbage. What is it even, a compressor? A bass boost? I asked about that cause I wanted to see what others thought. One of the things I got in Audio at SSU was use of the Loudness button. What I do becau...

I listen onna cuppla different sets of monitors, and a cuppla different stereos and with a cuppla different headphones. My approach is to get it as good as I can on my main monitors (Tannoy PBM 6.5II's that I've had since about '92 or '93, and Auratones, and Optimus 4"), and then check that nothing...

I usually listen on a couple pairs of studio monitors, headphones, in the car, on the home stereo. sometimes (but rarely) with earbuds into the phone... sometimes straight out of the phone speaker because I know more than one person is likely going to do it (and at top volume - I hate that sound bt...

I want to ask other engineers about how much effort do you put into trying to get your masters to play well in all specs of different players? None. I have monitors I know really, really well (had them 15 years now) in a room that's as acoustically perfect as I could make it. I make things sound go...

Thank you for the offering of knowledge. I had a set of those ikMulltimedia small fry things and I blew them up. That was interesting. I have a Tascam CD400 Multimedia Player which will allow me to bluetooth from my iPhone. And can do the same to the computer. Sadly enough I got terminal cancer in 2...

Hello Obi Wan Recording Guru's..... I am mastering my mixes for the very first time and I am doing fairly well given I am a work/live home technology studio. I have set up a mastering desk, not deck. My mastering is software driven, (but there is the future for RACK gear!). I have two software based...
