Hi, Thanks for reading!
and you’re very right about mentioning the SPL level. Though usually home or even semi-pro studio’s don’t have an SPL meter, I guess most can make a rough guess with fresh ears. Thing is, levels like constantly listening at 90-95 or higher can be very tiring and since DIY Mastering [...] -

Hey Sean, Just checked your website and I loved the design of the studio! also never heard about the Miller & Kreisel monitors but they look awesome! Funny as of the moment I got the e-mail asking to accept your comment, I was thinking of the best way to deal with Stem’s (download/upload options…) for [...]

Nebula: 2 years, 2 months ago · Viewok its been a while since I posted so I hope won’t forget anything
http://transcendingmusicstudios.com/nebula.html has released free and commercial librarys. Very interesting and useful tools I highly suggest demo’ing them, 1-2 of them ended-up only my mastering presets folder
http://cdsoundmaster.com/site/software.html most recent release is the GEQ-8300 eq (GML) and it might become a replacement for the min-phase eq, not much color but nice character. Other eq’s to check are nice eq (millenia) and peak 200-a eq (summit). Both are great and demo’s avalible.
Big news is Acquavox’s ( YAY!
) first plug-in is released for Mac beta (its a manley preamp and its free). Acquavox is basicly the plug-in form everybody is used to but has nebula technology inside it, it can be seen from the picture I attached earlier. Right now some small fixes are going on but when its official I’ll share the link. I’m not a mac guy and I’m very curious how it will sound (its said that the pc version is ready but waiting).Some very nice skins are released, check out this section of the official forum: http://www.acusticaudio.net/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewforum&f=19
Also it seems the website will be removed soon but no date given yet.

Sorry guys I haven’t been around though quick-checking here frequently.Long story short I’m trying to get all the mastering jobs locally. Its all demo songs from ”affordable” studio’s but problem is they (studio owners) need guidance as to be able to answer ”what sound do you want”.
I’m trying to avoid revisions as much as I can so I can save enough time to keep my mastering affordable. Now I’m preparing some recording, mixing tips for the possible people I’ll work with, later will make multiple masters from a single song as audio examples and finally an online system that they can use (most can’t speak english). If things work alright I’m hoping that everyone will benefit from it.
I’m delaying to update my blog now but haven’t forgot it

Updated. I guess I’ll stop here so it won’t be too involved on mixing rather than mixing tips for mastering. But if anyone feels more should be added (more tis or more detailed explanations), please write here or pm me and I’ll consider adding it for that section. Finally, I’ll write about the mastering stage [...]

There’s a lot of info about audio mastering on web but I thought it would be helpful to share a few of my own tips specially for beginners or hobbyists. I’ve tried to help many people in the past both web and studio environment. I guess it would be nice to gather my comments somewhere so [...]

Well, I totally agree with you and also did my warnings first so I hope someone won’t expect a serious carrier by reading my blog lol!

Pretty much I guess everybody made that mistake at the beginning. We, as listener besides engineers are always more familiar with the finished products and its actually hard to find a good mix if searching web based. I once listened a mix of someone who’s main experience was PA and the mix had too much [...]

Problem is ears get tired quicker when you focus on both individual and overall sound (mix and mastering at the same time), that’s why I find it logical to split work flow. Thinking both musical and technical (at few dimensions) at the same time is something very hard and tricky so simplifying whats in front [...]
