You dont need other speakers to check out the Master sounds good in any system, I never said that, you have tools for that, and that's done in the studio monitors, sound enginner experience and skilz, plus his tools will ensure sound good in any system. ........ Seems you dont know at all a golden rule from mastering, this rule is, is never good idea to Master your own music, because you are not objetive with some things, that's why usually a sound enginer will send to master a track to other studio, not because they dont have the skilz, a sound enginner can master pretty good his own music, but is not good idea. ...... This is totally incorrect . To make all this clearer for you. To mix channel by channel, called *stems*, that's mixdown. To work with the master channel, or all stems exported in a WAV (no matter you do it from your sequencer), that's called mastering. Kopi =o.

God Answer Kopi! Last year I meat with George Graves from http://www.lacquerchannel.com/ mastering facility. I was there since I was interested in purchasing a hardware compressor unit from them. They have a nice option, that you can come in for free, and test drive the unit you're interested in, or compare it to other stuff in a proper mastering facility. Gorge was free for few hours, and we talked about mastering music. He run one of my mixes i've brought thru some nice mastering equipment and thrue few compressors that I was thinking of buying. What I wanted to say that eaven with a great mix there was a very large boost in sonic quality, stereo image and overal sound of the mix using proper equipment. Something that you will have a very hard time achiving using some software plugins at home. For example running my mixes at home thrue some UAD compressors sounded nice, but when I sent the same mix thrue a hardware ( rented SSL g series stereo compressor $4500 dollar unit) , that's when the magic happens. You have to hear it to understand.

That's a nice piece of hardware!!!

Kopi =o.

I have no problems with anyone taking their tracks to a mastering engineer. None at all. Do what's best for you!
