Has anyone tried this with Sony Acid Pro 6.0?

DING! DING! DING! DING! DING! DING! i have the same exact monitors. put some nice balanced cables and presto!! nice and clean sound. if you continue to have problems contact their support. they are awesome!!

the reason i posted this wasn't to find a ME to master some stuff for me. I just was curious how much of a difference it is. when given a well mixed or poorly mixed project, how much better does it sound after a ME gets their hands on it.

speaking of fatiguing. at work i've been listening to music with my headphones (office enviroment). lately my ears have felt like they need a break. plus i could be mixing at a volume that's tooooo loud.

cool, thanks. how important is the quality of these. like is there a huge difference between a $50 and a $100 meter?

cool, i'll check'em out.

Would it be possible for some of you to post some examples of some projects before and after mastering, just to give those of us an idea of how mastering helps a mix? like take a project and post a before mastering example and an after mastering example. thanks

in my reading i've found that 85 db is approximately where one should be mixing at, for that's where the ear perceives the frequencies to be the closest to being flat. 1. how do i know what db i'm mixing at? is there a device that will tell me? 2. if so is it expensive?

wow, thanks for the reply southside. i appreciate it. the mix i'm working on does have a lot of low end, and that's what i'm looking for. i just kept feeling like something was missing in the mix. the mid range was there, the mid-low was there, low was definately there. the mid-high to high...

I'm using SONY Soundforge 8.0d. i wanted to compare my work to some professionally done projects. I grabbed a couple songs by the Crystal Method. I scanned the RMS using the Fletcher-Munson Equal Loudness option, and i also scanned the RMS without using the Equal Loudness contour. I found that...

yeah, some may say that one can get in the vicious cycle of tweaks. well, i gave it one more tweak. i found my ear being distracted by the bass boost that i did. i love bass as much as the next guy, but it was just a tad too much. kinda like pepper, pepper is great, but not too much. i pulled it...

pumped the low end. check it out. New Update!

i understand that it's just one person's opinion. thing is your advice for changes has just made my mix better. plus you open my eyes to certain things i was over looking. thanks

well, i went back into the mix and bumped up the kick, thump thump thump. southside, i think it's just enough. check it out. Welcome to the Now

thanks southside! it's funny that you mention the kick lost it's punch. i've let ppl here at my office listen, and each of them were like, "where's the thumpin bass?" i think i'll have to give it a little push. make those subs work!!
