It's a good thing CDs are cheap. I just realized I have burned about 1000 CDs in the past year and a half in the quest to learn to master about 34-35 songs of my own. In the process I have learned a lot. And I am still learning. I'm thinking of offering to master somebody elses mixes to get...

I'm a big fan of Andy Wallace's mixes and anything mixed by him seems to be outstanding. I usually buy a CD based on the fact that he mixed it. I notice on some CDs no mastering is mentioned so I imagine he masters also sometimes. Has anyone had any experience with him?

1. Send it to somebody who knows how and pay for it 2. Trial and Error takes at least 2 years of your life you'll never get back 3. Learning from an expert speeds up the process, but still takes 1.5 years 4.

If it cost money upfront it's a scam. If somebody really believes in your music they will promote you for no money up front, but expect a percentage off the top when you do make some cash. That is the music biz..............period. Everything and I mean EVERYTHING that promises to fullfill...

I don't understand.................I use Sonar. After I normalize my stereo track mix, equalize down any overbearing sounds, normalize again, then I run it through a Hard limiter to max the levels out. The song doesn't redline at all, but I get this droning bass sound out of some stereos...

I have noticed that after you record and you cut the song where noise is, it will make a crack or popping sound. To solve this I always only cut a track where there is virtually no noise and that eliminates unwanted noise. Also don't ever let your tower lay on carpet in the winter. Also turn...
