No Offense to Mr OOOD. I'm sure he would do a great job. Faxi was asking for a mastering "House".
Call it home, house, whatever, Mr Fuzzi, you need to chill first. if you live in a recording studio, then I suppose that won't be a home mastering anymore.
Home mastering would be like utilising gears and personal according to a psytrance production budget, whih isn't much.
But if you live in a studio where i.e. Madonna was recorded and mastered, then of course it's a mastering house. ;-)

The location doesnt matter, as long as its a good room with the right tools, and someone with some experience. Colin OOOD gets good results, I wouldnt really cal it home mastering in the amateur sense -even if his room is at his home- even some more heavily equipped studios are at people's homes- I mean hey, we are gearslutz and it makes sense to want to have the studio close to, or in the home.
Judge the mastering service by the sound results -not by location eh. |

yeah i have found my answer
freedb.com is free data base
isrc is also free
barcode needs payment
better to do it in the proffessional mastering process , need to think of it from the begining .. but seems the factory can also add it.. should be free of charge as far for isrc.

hey folks, i just want to ask a thing for you guys:
I´ve got a hardware compressor, and im starting to use it on my master-chain... I´ve replaced the "L2 section" with this compressor. The compressor is a cheap one from behringuer.
Here is my master chain:
Lineq LowBand;
LinMB;
L2;
Dithering(if i want to create a 16bit wav file).
No equalization during this process, i dont like the results i´ve got doing a equalization in the exported track.. And now, im using the compressor to replace the L2.
In the beggin, after the L2, i used the normalizer of sound forge. The sound get more phat, but i´ve noticed some little peaks in the wavform, but no clip on it!
Anyone can explain me what is those peaks that never clip?
And is right use the compressor in the place of the L2?

L2 is limiter so set your compressor to infinite (or as much as u can) ratio
maybe the attack can go 0 for maximum use , unless it mess the sound too much.
obviously if u used normaize it will not clip but will peak at 0db or whatever u set it to be
peaks that not clip can also be created in the 32>16 bit convertion , since 16bit file cant have data of clip at all
anywayz u should try and record the compressor as closest to 0 u can , this way u have more headroom and dynamic range and less record hiss. www.sattelbattle.com

hummmmm
Elad, u mean the compressor more closer to 0db, or the recording interface more closer to zero? Coz i can do the compressor send a signal below 0db and the recording interface get a higher volume during the rec.
But anyway, you helped me a lot in your advices Elad, thankz a lot about your time!

i thought the L2 would sound better than a behringer compress, thats my opinion, and i'd never recommend normalizing as a part of mastering. |

i think you should use the compressor just to compress a bit and then use something to rise the volume cause the compressor ll not work like a brickwall (not sure if i m right maybe it can work as a brickwall limiter) ,but don t use the l2 it kill the transient too much or use less than 1 db of gain reduction with it. |

when i use L2, i use with -0,2 or -0,1 of gain reduction, i agree with your advice pom...
Im trying to gt more volume using the gain in the input of the sound board... But i´ve got too much record hiss..
The idea coming from Elad sounds really good for me, i will try it when i leave my job here today!!
Ah! The compressor is a MDX-4600

i havn't used a behringer compressor, but i don't like any of behringers products but thats only my opinion. others might think different. if your using outboard equipment you need a worthy converter for it.
