T.H. Posted March 12, 2004 Share Posted March 12, 2004 So I finished recording my 2nd CD, it sounds great, plays well on other systems and so I take it to a mastering engineer located in NY. I let him take a crack at (3) songs, I get them back and....GAWWWWWLLLLLLEYYYYYY it sounded like I was processed through an AURAL EXCITER, it was so damn brite and screaching to my ears, it lost all substance of a comfortable listening CD, but it was loud. Guess it's back to the drawing board to look for another M.E. (and I thought this would be easy) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanThomas Posted March 12, 2004 Share Posted March 12, 2004 I'm sure plenty o' folks around here can suggest a good ME or two... I can recommend Brad Blackwood at Euphonic Masters . I've also heard good things about David Torrey at DRT Mastering Signatures can appear at the bottom of your posts.

area51recording Posted March 13, 2004 Share Posted March 13, 2004 I'll second that vote for Dave Torrey. He's done several projects for me and he does a fantastic job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YourMotherShouldKnow Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 Good luck, TH. I'm having my mastering finished up and there's a definite art to it. There are choices to make about the low end. That bass guitar/bass drum thump is hard to get right. I'd say reputation and word of mouth is the best you can go for. Take your time and find the person you think is best for your music. Hopefully some other guys will chime in and give you some names. You could ask at the Massenburg forum as well. And do a search or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
