Hello, well im back with another question and hopefuly i can get a good responce like bfore.

I just went and bought this new program called T-RackS and its sole purpose is for mastering your music. Now I've been using it with some of my old recordings but not on my new ones yet because i am in a transition stage of getting new equipment. Now I've been able to hear the difference in the sound and im not even trained but my real question is does anyone have any experience in using this piece of software and if so was it worth keeping.

Thank you.
 
i use it a little it does make a a song sound a little better for me ,i do industrial music and when im done mixing a track to where i like it i use t-tracks to polish it up a bit""IM NO PRO"","my buddy bought it and he didnt like it"he has mad money to burn" so he gave it to me,but i think it works pretty good for midi music,but thats just my opinion,just read the info on it and toy around with and see what you think ,good luck
best regards
 
T-Racks isn't that new... I must've had it around three years ago when it was just a wee little 16-bit audio program... The T-24 is definitely a step up from the old 16 bit...

That aside, I've heard worse programs out there. Like usual, it's only as good or bad as the person controlling it. I've heard reasonable stuff done through it though.

It's another "Finalizer" type thing - If you're going to master your own stuff, there are better and worse things to use. If you're sending mixes out to be mastered, it's best to leave it off.

On the other hand, it's an easy way to get a little more punch. I wouldn't use it for stuff to be released, but for fast rough mixes for the clientele to drive around with it works pretty good.
 
So wat are some programs that could "really" help me get the job done to my satisfaction and don't worry about time consuming, im in it for the long run.
 
Most anyone will recommend you leave mastering to a mastering engineer. But if you want to try your hand at it just for fun and you want to share your CD's with friends, Steinberg's WaveLab with Waves C4 and L2 mastering plug-ins would be at the top of my list.

T-RackS or PSP Vintage Warmer aren't as flexible, but they can nevertheless work in certain situations. I think their strengths is when you use them on individual tracks that need a bit more analog warmth, not as a mastering solution.
 
I would also support Wavelab in conjuction with the Waves Master Plugins. Nothing much better for a DIY approach; however, they don't come cheap. Figure on going for a bit over $1K for the pair.

You can easily get a CD professionally mastered for less than that price (and without a learning curve investment). So alot depends on where you want to go over the long term (and your pocketbook).
