i know you said yall where mastering specialist but do yall know what the best mic to use is ? like CatalystThaSaint i to have a home studio but i use Sony Acid. My work sounds clear but its seems to be missing somthing.

@AllenElzy Hey AllenElzy, although this problem is not as simple in later phases (like Mastering) I think your issue is simply an EQ thing. try turning a couple of parametric EQs. one for the lows where you'll be adding NEGATIVE gain. try messing with the frequency and the Q to take out the "boom". and another for the highs, again, try messing with the frequency and the Q to add whatever seems to be missing with your ears. Be sure to take breaks from listening - compare your sound.

Kiss my ass these days with downloading and Itunes bands cant afford shit.. us producers dont have a choice but to be a "Jack of all trades" when your in the indie music scene bands want a one stop shop, it sucks but thats just the way things are now days.

Are there any specific tips you can give on mastering with ribbon microphones? I have an MXL R144

@haruthacin Anything below 24 bit 48 kHz is not pro. Anything below 16 bit 44.1 kHz is a joke, and that includes all MP3 formats. There is a huge quality difference between 24/48 and 16/44.1, and also between 16/44.1 and MP3.

I always do my mastering with some one else

[NewRisingSong]

if a mix is bad then there is nothing that mastering can do. For me the best is to master and mix simultaneously
