Hi Masterbox, how are you?
Interesting to read your advice on mastering and I particularly enjoyed reading your comment to Yadi (which should actually be on Yadi's page, I guess). I'm not familiar with remixing, I don't understand any bit of it, but I learn as I come across people like you.
May I ask you to check out my songs and vote for me? Perhaps you don't like them, but then you might, and in that case…
Greetings and success in your musical work from the Netherlands,
Richard

Great Mastering skills.
Especially the last song i like.
People forget how important it is for the overall quality and it realy makes a superb result from a good recording if the mastering is done by people with good ears.
Our songs are mastered by Sander van der Heijden an he's also a well known mastering tecnician.

Greetings from Cloudmachine

I like your mastering skills and sound. You do NOT kill the dynamics and maintain/bring-out/keep the LIFE in the tracks. Everything sounds clear, warm, and rich in the stereo field.

You are 100% right ..... mastering is a skill and takes "good ear" with a lot of practice.

Hi Yadi, sorry I've been busy, therefore my late answer.
Regarding soft-/hardware, I use a combo, but must admit, that good hardware is essential to me.
For "surgical" use, I tend to choose software plugins. I have a TC Powercore system with the MD3 mastering plugin (from the system 6000) and their Dynamic Equaliser to process for instance a too boomy bass or De-essing vocals or cymbals.
For low- and high-cut I use the native PEQ Orange from Algorithmix, which is simply outstanding.
After software I tend to send the signal into analog processors. Here I can both choose between solidstate and tube compressors and EQ's to ad "colour" and "airy" highs - something that I find the analogue domain clearly better suitet for.
After this processing the signal is captured again and limiting is aplied by an waves L2 hardware limiter/maximizer.
This is just my way of doing the job, how 'bout you, are you using software. Your stuff sounds pretty cool, so could you tell a little about your way of doing the mastering job, or if you go to the place with the SSL and TC 6000-system, to get that sound?

Thanks, Thomas. You'll of course be doing the mastering when the time comes :) See you at work, dude!

Hi what do you use the most to make masters?

Analog hardware or software.

Once I was in a mastering studio they used the combination of an SSL desk and the M6000
