Re: Mastering and Mastering Tools

Duck, some clarification- I think there might have been some confusion/misunderstanding on my part. You wrote that you thought remastered classics sound better. Then about the introduction of CD's and the added clarity etc. To me that's two different things. The introduction of CD technology introd...

Re: Mastering and Mastering Tools

@ Mark Bliss I heard your work on sound cloud and I really like your work. Clearly what you are doing is a labor of love. I like what I heard a lot better form a music point of view a lot better than what is being produced commercially even though your production is not as slick. I think that in so...

Re: Mastering and Mastering Tools

Of everything I don't know, I probably don't know the most about mastering. My workflow is strange (maybe because orchestral?) in that I mix and balance (eq and er already added) as I go as I can't stand listening to an unbalanced orchestra. About half way in to the tune I usually add FAT+ and hall...

Re: Mastering and Mastering Tools

There's some good stuff coming out of a place in Equador called Big Audio Ghost. https://www.clowdy.com/BigAudioGhost If I can't master mastering I'll be sending my demos to them. Anything I release for sale will be going to them. Their prices are rock bottom because it is so much cheaper to live in...

Re: Mastering and Mastering Tools

After you have your tracks mixed and EQed what are your steps? What tools are you using? Here's what I do and let me know what you think. 1. If I have a track that is close to peaking but still isn't up in the mix I apply a limiter. It still sounds loud enough but it's not peaking. 2. I reference wi...

Re: Upgrade or Go New?

Hey I just heard your SoundCloud tracks... nice. Wow, 7 pro is feature packed. I think I'd use some of the features like some of the analog simulators and the bass amp for sure and the Zotope mastering essentials. Can you tell me what the Mid-Side Harmonic Vitaliser+ is? I'm guessing that it's a lik...

Mastering and Mastering Tools

With MC 6 home version as presets chained I have CD Master 1 and 2, Mastering Compression and Reverb, and Mixdown and Premastering which are presets in Classic compressor. I know that mastering can be mysterious but to me it's trying to get the final mix to sound as good as it can. Sometimes the pre...

Upgrade or Go New?

I bought the MC 6 home edition sometime back at Best Buy and it runs well on my Toshiba Satellite with a core i3 and 4 gig of RAM but it lacks some of the features of the other versions but in spite of that I have produced some decent recordings. It typically uses under 20% of the computer resources...

Re: Mix Down To MP3 and Burning to CD Need Help?

Thanks for the info. Wish I had gotten the $74 dollar version or pro. Had I known that is what I would have done had I known. For $25 dollar more you get so much more. I'll probably upgrade or just purchase. If I do get a another version should I uninstall Mixcraft Home Version? Will there be confli...

Re: Mix Down To MP3 and Burning to CD Need Help?

I think I paid $60 dollars for it. How much is the online version? $79?? What else it is missing? Amp models? Can I upgrade to Pro with this version? If I do with I have the mp3 feature I don't like using credit cards online whenever I can avoid it so when I saw at Best Buy I grabbed it. I thought I...

Re: Mix Down To MP3 and Burning to CD Need Help?

I have a registered version and I am not getting a burn to CD or MP3 option for Mix Down To . I have 6.1 build 217. I did send it to Sound Cloud and I saved it as WAV but there is no selection for MP3 or Burn to CD. My Mixcraft came from a disk that I bought from Best Buy. It did upgrade to 6.1 Buil...

Mix Down To MP3 and Burning to CD Need Help?

A buddy of mine showed me Mixcraft and I swear he was able to mix down to an MP3 and burn to a disk from Mixcraft. When I go to Mix Down To The only options I get are OGG, WMA and WAV. I finished my first song and want to burn it to a CD so it will play on most players. I also want to put it on Soun...

Re: Latency

This makes sense. It is called "zero latency recording", particularly useful for voice recordings. I have a Focusrite saffire pro 24 dsp that can do exactly that. I personally don´t see the necessity for a full-blown outboard mixer for multi-tracking. -helmut A buddy on mine is giving me ...

Re: Latency

We had a similar topic here recently. It looks like the hardware makers never jumped on the bandwagon as far as WaveRT goes and it seems to be on the way out. -helmut I'm not sure where you get the idea that WaveRT is on the way out. It's part of the core audio support for Windows, and it's include...
