Ah, Rich's Tweakheadz! I learned everything I know from the pros there (some of whom are here: Massive Master, Jay and others who may have changed usernames from site to site). Timbo

Great tune, Gonz! I would have made the snare snappier too. I particularly liked the bass guitar sound and the playing ... Here's wishing you great success with the new album! Timbo

Thanks for clearing that up, gentlemen. Timbo

Interesting, I've always thought that if an ME received a mix at -20dB that bringing it louder would also "amplify" the noise that was present, making it hiss to some extent. How do you go about bringing a -20dB mix to, say, -0.1? Tim

Thanks Dave, this was a terrific article. Timbo

Thanks everybody for this - didn't realize how little I actually know about mastering.

Great story, grimtraveller!

Thanks all. So then you would add the wind in to the 2 tracks later?

But if we try to do them separately, isn't there a good chance that the listener would hear a change in volume of the wind at the split point?

I keep a handheld recorder with me at all times, but the start seems to happen in the shower or while walking in the woods near my house. With the recorder I can capture lyric snippets and melodies and entire songs. Sure look like an idiot humming into the device, but who gives a flier?

Hi all, Maybe this is a dumb question but say you have a song that is connected to the next song on the album by wind where the first song fades to wind and the second song fades in. When a mastering engineer is sent something like this, do they master the pair of songs as one? or do they...

Great work! I totally enjoyed, especially the change-up and follow-up with the strings. Timbo

I've nothing to add but it's nice to see that there's still English speaking people living in Quebec! Especially Quebec City. God I miss living in Montreal. Born and raised in Montreal, Timbo

The link is coming up bad for me. Timbo

I think the vocal is fine, but the volume will change once the drums are sitting where you need them.

Wow, 8 months, no wonder I don't remember the original! The instruments are well balanced in the mix, I'm just finding that the drums have almost disappeared in this mix. I know when you bring them forward that they'll f up the mix and you'll have to start again. I can hear the kick but there's...

Yeah, you two make sweet music together!

Great tune! The intro was cool but didn't fit with the beginning of the song IMO. Love the sound of the drums except the snare, it almost disappears when the lead guitar comes in. Friggin Jimi, that guitar does sound sweet in your hands! Nice job, Timbo

I like it - I put out electronic stuff too with only a couple of real instruments. With a couple of fixes this will be even better. I agree with Steve, it went very Floyd after the change up. Reminded me a bit of the guitar in Meddle's Echoes and you can't go wrong with that. I'm a guy who...

Thanks Mark and Ujn, Glad you liked, Bowie was my hero. I used the Blackstar album as my A/B on the mixing. I think something may have crashed, Ujn, I see the site and song. Let me know if it continues. Timbo
