HUH? I saw your site - why would anyone intentionally promote "...releases are often No-budget and Lo-fi-sounding." I mean, what's the point? Is it lack of gear so you have no choice??? Otherwise, why would you go out of your way to make a Lo-Fi recording???? And is there really a market...

Boy have I found a link for you... ...Mastering tips from the master himself (Bob Katz) - check out the PDF at http://www.tcelectronic.com/files/static/bobkatz.pdf If the details you want are not in there - it's nowhere! Bruce Valeriani Blue Bear Sound

Hey.... The Yorkvilles are not powered (not at the $200 price point!), but they may have a powered version available... You can check out their site at http://www.yorkville.com Cheers, Bruce :)

CJ - it takes as long as it has to, to find the musicians you're looking for - sometimes you get lucky on the first couple of auditions, other times you could go thru dozens of candidates! Bruce Valeriani Blue Bear Sound

DOH!!!! Oops!!! I missed that critical word "not" in your statement "The colour of the die is not the critical spec." What I saw was "The colour of the die is the critical spec." Goddamn dyslexia acting up again... sorry Emeric - forget I said anything!!! Bruce :)

Sorry to disagree with you Emeric... The following is taken from a Media Science (a media testing facility) paper on CD-R technology: Are green CD-R discs better than gold or blue ones? This is an excellent question. Unfortunately, color is not a useful CD-R quality indicator. The human eye...

The only direct comparision (A/B) I've done was a Mackie 8-buss to a Behringer 8-buss (guess which was "better"!). ;) If heard a Ghost but not used it extensively... so I can't comment on it's specifics, maybe Ed can... Bruce

Drop the mids using EQ! Bruce Valeriani Blue Bear Sound

Er, no.... proper reference headphones will have better frequency response than monitors because there are no room anomalies for them to deal with - not to mention the fact that it is easier to design for accuracy with drivers that are less than 2 inches in size compared to monitors! The...

I like the SD JB jrs in my Kramer.... plus they look cool! ;) Bruce

HUH??? PS-6s ARE nearfields... but actually, the term "nearfield" has been copy-righted to someone (can't remember who at the moment), so Event substituted the term "DirectField" for "nearfield". Bruce Valeriani Blue Bear Sound

Hey Pro5... just a hint - I guarantee many people will not be willing to register to check out an MP3 and critique it - in many cases it's already a long enough process just to download it.... making your clips easily accessible somewhere will avoid you being disappointed when nobody gives...

Audioactive Production Studio - very good encoding, not very expensive. http://www.audioactive.com Bruce Valeriani Blue Bear Sound

Hmmm... ...I think you're wrong... you want the Pros at this site to stop contributing??? :confused: Bruce Valeriani Blue Bear Sound

Yikes!!!

Re: Thanks guys! Yikes! And here I thought you did a helluva marblizing job!!!!!!! :D Bruce

Hey LongWave.... Sorry to disagree - Alesis makes some good gear, monitors aren't one of them! Bruce

Romesh, My comments weren't directed at you specifically - I gathered from your bio and comments that you weren't a DIY'r - my whole point to the rant was that there is A LOT more to the art of mastering than running a mix thru a Finalizer. Even in the hands of a professional, what's it used...

Hmmm, why 24-bit DAT - essentially the same price as a Masterlink and the Masterlink is more powerful??? (Unless you meant portable DAT, but even so, hard to pass on the Masterlink's feature list...) Bruce Valeriani Blue Bear Sound

I'm sorry LWS, I was with you to a point, but you lost me on advising the use of a Finalizer. Call me purist & elitist about it, and no doubt this should spawn the flames (and in the end, no one will listen anyways!), BUT the last thing the world needs are more recordings brutalized by the...
