    Mesa tubes?

    yes, both Dougstubes and Eurotubes both do testing before they ship em out. They test for matching on power tubes to ensure your getting your 4 (or 2 ) power tubes within that 5-10% tolerance range, and are matched as close as possible. same with preamp tubes too. Doug (dougstubes.com) will...

    mastering song by song, or the album as a whole?

    or maybe this...... semi-master each song individualy (using EQ on the song as a whole, some compression if needed on certain songs) and polish the songs up, but not use any limiter or dither..... then.......put all semi-mastered songs into a CD montage, and on the main buss have the...

    Mesa tubes?

    the Ruby EL34-Bstr are unlike any other EL34 ive tried. They have a BIG open sound, extended range with big lows and crystal clear highs...... they kinda have a sound that is a cross between an El34 and a 6L6.......it has the open sound and big lows/higs of a 6L6, but still has that midrange...

    Mesa tubes?

    not really......mesa doesnt make tubes....they "re-brand" them and put their logo on the tubes.....but they buy them from someone else. Youll pay more $ on those mesa tubes, when you can go straight to the source and buy the tubes your self...... For 6L6 tubes .....you can get Ruby tubes, JJ...

    mid-side (phase invert) removing guitars

    mastering song by song, or the album as a whole?

    actually....no. when i master each song individually, ill use Mbit +ultra from Izotopes ozone plugin pack. that thing sounds pretty decent for dithering...... when i have the L2 on the master buss in the overall CD montage and arranging all the songs in a full CD, i wont be using dither of any...

    mastering song by song, or the album as a whole?

    what ill think ill do is this..... master each song individualy first. Cause all of the songs will need different EQ and compression settings for sure. While i limit each song, ill keep a reference as far as the songs RMS levels of volume for that song, and use it as a reference point for the...

Would it be wiser to master each song individually? or should one master them all together? for example....im useing Wavelabs 5, and i...

    when you say the "in" kick sound.......are you referring to the modern day "clickitty click click" sound of the overly bright beater, and almost no warmth and punch? ....if so......yeah, me too.......sounds like someone tapping on a tin can.

    After mastering, which burning speed, help?

    interesting.......ive been using off the shelf brands like memorex from "best buy". I have been trying and using those "lightscribe" discs, mostly cause i have a "lightscribe" burn feature that etches images/photos on the disk without having to use those stupid sticky labels, or ink dyes. i...
