Top 5 Reasons you should go to a Mast Eng & Why
TOP 5 Reason to go with the Mastering Engrs & Why
1.) Fresh Ears - Why? Because you cant hear you own mistakes period. You have been recording and mixing the music everything sounds good to you because your ears have been dummed and made accustomed to the sound therefore making it almost impossible to hear your errors, or to be more precise when certain freq needs to be cut or boosted or less bass or more bass ect.
2.) State of the Art Monitoring - Why? music has to be heard LOUD and CLEAR with great equip to detect the errors to make precise EQ cuts/boost. Near field "mixing" monitors dont have the dynamic range or volume needed to push the sound hard enough. Most mixing monitors are not even supported by amplifiers just self powered NOT RELIABLE.
3.) PERFECT Listening environment - Why? If sound is not house correctly and acoustically treated correctly the reverberations that bounce off your wall, bunk bed, tv, then your fish tank before it returns to your ears can and will give a false representation of sound. Dont believe me go in your bathroom and try to master a song, you wont know whats up or down. Mastering engrs have a room that is dedicated and designated to mastering music.They have been stationed a acoustic supported room for years! They know every sound to every scratch on the wall. The acoustic set up absorbs the many 1000's reverberations from all the tones of the master which enables the engr to have a true representation of sound, and body of the master. Room treatment is so essential cant stress this enough you need a well treated controlled environment for mastering and you need to sonically know it like your first name
4.) Equipment - Why? Need I say more? from Manley Passives, to Crane Songs, to B&W, Dunlavy, Studer's, Waves, UAD , Samplitude, Neve, SSL, Pultech, Avalon, LA 2A (Hardware), Pendelum, Lavry (Converters), Fairchild. List goes on the length of webster. Eqiup that most couldnt buy in a live time. And not only that the knowledge of when and how to use it.
5.) Experience - To me the most important, you cant teach it, you cant buy it, you cant download, cant upload it. You just gotta have it and nothing not even all the equip stated can beat it period.
