A mastering house is my first choice......webstop said:If you are putting several songs on a CD, what is your technique of making them sound equally loud?

Also, there are artistic considerations as to why you DON'T want them equally loud.... if you've got a ballad in-between the fast-rockers, you hardly want the ballad to be at the same apparent level as the rocker tunes..........
What does that have to do with anything????webstop said:Bruce, I understand that Blue Bear Sound can offer many services

My answer was aimed at getting you the best (ie, highest-quality) solution to your question.webstop said:Since you are running a recording/mastering business I consider such an answer as self-advertisement. Of course, you did not specifically offer your Blue Bear Sound, but your answer is obviously aimed at us amateurs by pushing an idea of using mastering houses for all our needs.
This is not why people are posting questions at this BBS.
kylen said:hehe, Magix CD authoring=$40 they have another DVD authoring package for $79 I think as does Roxio...It's hard to loose at those prices (unless you're trying to fix ill mixes during mastering).
I'm afraid the authoring packages and ac3-encoders and video transitions we spent $$$ on a few years ago is becoming commonplace in the 'consumer' packages like these.

Blue Bear Sound said:And the MOST IMPORTANT point of all -- Blue Bear Sound is a recording studio NOT A MASTERING HOUSE..... I farm my mixes out to mastering houses just like I suggest to everyone who cares about sound quality do as well......
Blue Bear Sound said:Thanks for your misinterpretation of my position at this forum -- I assure you that after over 10000 posts - the majority of which contain free and solid advice, I hardly need to push my services here...........
I don't understand the distinction...... any mixes I do ARE for my clients, so what's the point?webstop said:Your mixes or your clients' mixes?
Then apparently you don't read too well.........webstop said:Too bad I haven't received any solid practical advise from you in my thread.
Fair Enough !Farview said:If you want to set up the menus and make a real dvd for duplication, roxio will be of no help. It is true that the price of things is coming down, but if you need the power to make a professional package, you still need to pony up more than $100.
