Hey man,
I starting reading the posts backwards from a year ago (yes, I'm bored tonight) and came across something you wrote about mastering that caught my attention. You were using Wavelab, and the Steinberg mastering edition and some Waves stuff (most of which I have available). Heres my question, and it may be a lengthy and thought out answer on your end, so if you dont want to fool with it, just say so. It will require a good bit of explaining, for sure, and may generate even more questions.
1st... what about FreeFilter? What do you think? Use it? Any good results? Seems an easy way to even out a "peaky" recording.
2nd, and the kicker.... What methods do you use when mastering with this stuff? Wavelab, then what processors, in what order, and why? Do you use the ME Spectrograph and the ME phasescope? If so, any ideas on using them? Like em, hate em, etc? I haven't a clue on those two, really, at all... so if you know how to use them, and they are worth using, explain a little. What about the Spectralizer, that adds the 2nd and 3rd harmonic? I'll assume you dither last, but what are you using? I'll also assume you dither with the Waves algorhythm, but I may be wrong, but if you do, which waves setting? I guess I'm kinda asking you to write a book through the whole process with the whys and hows of it all, and I apologize... like I said, if its too much trouble, just say so. There may be a few people interested though, and if you dont want to do it, maybe someone else will put in, or even make a group project out of it. For some of us, this type of mastering might be our ONLY mastering.
Thanks for any offerings....
Paul
