I was wondering which sofware on the market is the best for mastering.
I'm really looking for something that can do red book standard and i was wondering if any of you guys had any recommendations.
Any feedback
THX

hmm donät know if anyone has posted anything about this in the masteringthread already but I guess not since your'e asking :)
well I can say right away that you should stay away from programs like T-racks and ozone and such...although they might be easy to use the fact remains....the result will not be good enough because of the limitations...
--------------
what the most proffesional mastering enginers use are either a set of hardware effects or a set of software plugins...
as for hardware I don't have a clue on what's good and not so I'll stay off that one :)
as for software, well I've noticed that almost everyone that use software and that is something in the biz use the waves tools (www.waves.com)
the waves tools are a set of software plugins (eq, limiter, reverb, image enhanchers, compressors and on and on, read more on their page :))
well anyway in my opinion they do the trick for me and they outclass programs such as T-racks and ozone without any problems :)
the main problem with ozone and T-racks is that you can't set up the mastering chain by yourself, it's already decided in the program.
This is pretty bad because sometimes you maybe need to put in a few extra steps like an EQ before the first compressor and so on and this is not possible with T-racks and ozone as far as I know :/
well enough writing from me now, check out http://recpit.prosoundweb.com/viewforum.php?f=5 for more info on mastering and masteringtools and stay off the "all in one" programs :) |

| hey cheggy |
| Yeah, the waves plugins are good. Especially the C1. An amazing compressor, and the compressor gate is good too. |

| Red Book is a CD writing standard for standard audio CDs (CD-Audio) so I'm not quite sure how that relates to your question? :conf: |
