Drosophila Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 Its pretty hard to say what best mastering evergh is... the level of mastering when u havent heard the unmastered version... imo... (as other people say) but a cd I find is very well mastered is Sensient - Anti Fluoro its seems every sound is really well polished and there is a very good ballance between the levels of them... its possible to hear all sounds very clear and crispy - no mud and no "overtaking" if u know what I mean?!

Drosophila Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 so you did hear the unmastered version of anti fluoro? or is it very possibly he made it well ? Hehe no... thats why I just said that I found it very well mastered cus the volumes of all sounds are fitted very nicely, and I guess that is at least partly because of the mastering finding the cd which I felt had the very best mastering on the other hand I would no chance in hell of accomplishing of the obvious reason mentioned before!

Colin OOOD Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 ...the volumes of all sounds are fitted very nicely, and I guess that is at least partly because of the mastering No, that's 95% to do with the original mix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drosophila Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 No, that's 95% to do with the original mix.hMM I though mastering were fitting tracks of the album on the new medium... I mean adjusting every thing like volumes, filtering, "cleaning" and all that... am I wrong? Just for me its really difficult to hear whats been removed or filtered but volume levels are a bit easier to comprehend for a lad like me also when I dont have the raw track to compare too. But u proberbly right though.... Im not a pro Is the level adjusting more track to track wise? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin OOOD Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 hMM I though mastering were ... adjusting every thing like volumes, filtering, "cleaning" and all that... am I wrong?Yes, that's the mixing process. Mastering does involve "fitting tracks of the album on the new medium" though - gaps between tracks, a consistent sound across all tracks, making sure one track doesn't sound suddenly louder than the others, making the album flow as a whole.

To be honest, the mastering on your last CD was as crisp as Walkers. Its up there with the best I've heard lately to be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drosophila Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 Thanks Colin, an interesting listen Sounds like a lot work has gone into mastering aswell, opening up the "top"-layers of the sound and making it more "crystal" and less "sticky" (or in muddy or what ever u would call it... interference maybe )...
