Just don't compress the mix, and don't EQ like crazy, and you should be fine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Klopmeyer Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 Wouldn't y'all say that multiband compression should also be in a mastering engineer's bag of tricks (as opposed to the "overall EQ" or "master bus compression" listed above)? Granted, there are situations where this should be dealt with in the mixing phase, but others where a particular EQ feel needs to be added to an entire disc's worth of tunes. - Jeff Marketing Communications for MI/Pro Audio My solo music and stuff They Stole My Crayon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
