you right if you can get a professional mastering to do it. Cause I got my track Take me away done by a professional. The reason is cause you can mix your own music at home well but once you put it in a live setting you will find out that your tracks are crap. Plus the professional knows what to do from the first 10 seconds of your track.

I master it it muself.

[REZERREKSHON]

Handy stuff.

I got all excited to hear about Dither. :(

Here's something I'd like to know, in comment, video, or on the DVD. You mentioned cutting the low end a bit during mastering, why do that if it's already mixed to sound the way you like? Most mastering I've seen boosts lows and highs slightly. And if an EQ plug-in has a preset called Mastering, it also boosts those by a bit.

Also would like to hear more about the compression and limiting you do. How much compression? How fast of a attack/release?

EQ, Compression, Limiting, Normalizing, Panning and StereoImaging... What else can an audio engineer seriously do that a person mixing the track hasn't already done? Quick Question, Please Reply! You mentioned that you occasionally send your tracks to an engineer. I was wondering if you could could briefly mention, what exactly is it that you notice from the mastering, that seems different/better about your mastered track(s)? Also thankz for sharing this video Dave. Very Informative
