Sweet 17 Mastering with Brian "Big Bass" Gardner

[Tablo0213]

Wow he sure monitors it loud.

[dunonra1]

Oh great, we get to watch him ruining some more songs with his mastering.

[analyzingfunny]

from 3:00-4:00 major magic happens, and stars are made better, but it dont look like it.

[sdeanmusic]

stems.

[narcoman2]

..... to clarify - No not the red knobbed TG. But that is an EMI frame.

[narcoman2]

..... to clarify - same console frame as Abbey Road.

[narcoman2]

....... maybe something lost in translation. TG didn't make the EMI transfer consoles.

i guess the big dog mastering boyz tend to get a lil snarky when all the up and coming hip hop musicians think soundgoodizer is good 'nuff...

[h1techalex]

has he heard of the loudness war. he's destroyed the dynamics of a lot of classic hip hop albums.

[Blastphemer]

just heard the new pendulum. fucking amazing sound

[gix10000]

@Blastphemer no its not, its crushed to fuck. compare the promo "salt in the wounds", which was released before the album was mastered, with the album version, so much more life-like dynamic, wider and clearer.

the only reason it sounds better than HYC and in silico is because Swires production has gotten WAY better

[MrCbolden]

Big Bass Brian is the man! keep doing your thing!

[BonniePancha]

Tannoy speakers

[shawtymiz]

[FREEZE1SL]

Nice vid

[scooterpietschmusic]

all the stuff at Bernie Grundman Mastering is custom built by their techs. As for software, Wavelab by Steinberg seems to be the choice of the pros. Me, I have all mastering done by someone else - I can't wear another hat! And Big Bass makes it sound soooooo great.

[mpolov]

what speakers does he use?? genelec ?

[narcoman2]

@scooterpietschmusic custom built!! Some maybe - most is stock..... {i see Lavry, maselec and L2 with an EMI transfer console for a start!!} although the knowledge isnt !! hehe

[rhinehund]

@narcoman2

[narcoman2]

[slimmivy]
