    any good tutorial resources for mastering?

    why not stems give the master engineer more flexibility to fix things especially when some home recording guy does the mixes instead of an experienced mix engineer and hands over a terrible stereo track where the damage can't be undone. you can always make a maximum level master that is good...

    I`m getting a tin canny sound from my condenser mic

    so how do they do that ? thanks. i would never have guessed that. i can see on paper how to get the various patterns by themselves eg omni and figure 8, but how they combine those to cardioid, super, hyper, etc. is a big mystery. and dont pay no never mind to shotgun mike patterns
