    Physical vs Digital Azimuth cassette deck correction?

    OK - I guess I'll just blurt this out... :D I just got a new Tascam 112mkII recently to do cassette-to-digital transfers and really don't want to fiddle around with the alignment screw for a number of reasons. Can we discuss the virtues of physical (fix it at the source) vs digital (repair it...

    Badly mastered commercial CD's 2005

    OK - that does it. I know there's a lists floatin around here and there about great mastered CD's and poorly mastered CD's but now, in 2005 with all of this miraculous technology at our disposal what the hell is going on! I've got recent CD's that are a bit squished, clipping, and really...

    Benchmark DAC-1 problems ?

I've been OK in phones for the past 3 weeks since I got the unit and finally threw some Event Studio Precision (ASP8) monitors...

    Anyone working with 96KHz 24 bits here ?

    I'm trying to move into the 96KHz realm after working in 44.1KHz 24bits for the last year. I have a P4 2.6GHz Windows XP config w/1Gb memory. I usually just do 2-4 track home recording type mastering jobs but now that I'm trying this at 96KHz I suspect my buffers and whatnot may not be set up...

    Sonar 3.1.1 and M-Audio Audiophile 2496

    What Sonar settings and M-Audio settings do you use please when working at 96KHz/24bits ? Things work fine for me at 44.1KHz/24bits but when I try 96KHz things go downhill fast. I'm running on a P4 2.6GHz w/1Gb memory I'm using Sonar3.1.1 and Audiophile v36 drivers (thinking I should go back...

    ...or is that just an alias for one of you old-timers here. :) I did a search and don't see Dragon2 in the Mixing/Mastering forum. Why am I looking for Dragon2 (the moderator)? ...no reason in particular except to see what they think about Mastering in the Homerecording context and what the...
