mastering process

[The_Laughing_Man]

thanks mate, didnt think the process was this much

what weve been taught in college is totall crap compared to this, I questioned what they told us but they assured me what they were teaching was "industry standard" stuff

obviously want to learn this stuff so im glad you've gave me an idea on the process that you do. Now to go back into college and get them heavy told with how to really master.

thanks for sharing the programs you use aswell, really help full!!

Well essentially the mastering process is corrective EQ, Dynamic Shaping (Compression) and Peak level Limiting.

But there are many ways of going about this, depending on the material and the effect needed. (Multiband, Mid/Side, colouration, noise removal etc)
