Re: Who's on Instagram?
Urgh I could rant for ages about tubes and mastering and how twats that use that as some kind of marketing are just adding to the confusion and misunderstanding of mastering. Colouration is not what mastering engineers should be doing unless specifically requested. A chain of all valve gear for mastering (and it seems to be the guys who don't really do any mastering that go down that promotion route) is not something I would want when sending my music to an engineer. It's doesn't say "minimal harm" or clean path to me. It says "I'm desperate for work, and valves are da best, that's what I have seen on innnernets, valves makes master better".dubdub wrote: ↑Fri May 14, 2021 10:44 pmWheres are the pics of theLost to the Void wrote: ↑Fri May 14, 2021 5:03 pmI think I`m already linked up with some of you.

My main "tone" thing is my old valvestate reel to reel.
Which I have used precisely once in the last 12 months in the mastering room. And that was for blues band who wanted a super vintage Mississippi Delta blues era tone to the vinyl. I'm considering selling it now as it's just too unwieldy and innacurate/unpredictable for where I am at in mastering now. I'm back on the Bob Katz methodology. Absolute precision and control over everything including distortion and colouration.
I've seen a few guys show up in my feed on that VALVES on VALVES tip. Never seen any evidence of their mastering work.
I'm not a gear fetishist, even for my music when I do a making music video its emphasis is on the music, not the kit. I'm a doer, not a collector.
Sorry. Rant over. I'm resigned to the fetishization of production gear and synths. People placing more emphasis on studio gear photos than actually making music. All gear no engineer. "Look at my eurorack cable tangle,it makes music Betta"..... *Cue 90's kickdrum and blipabloop*
But in mastering it angers me. It cheapens the process. Hype has no place.

Almost never.
Weirdly I've had the reverse more. Super audio obsessives who request me to use as clean a path as possible.
My policy is I master everything as I would for vinyl unless requested otherwise, as I like that sound, as do most people outside of the millenial generation.. And often people have asked for the full range that digital offers instead.
The majority of my work comes from recommendations. It's why I spend zero money on advertising. It's pointless. It's a reputation based business.
It takes time to build a client base.
It takes time to get good.
But doing good work is what is getting me clients.
I've sort of given up talking to clients about gear. Sometimes it can be depressing. I have regulars and I'll update some kit, which to me has given me this huge breakthrough and has allowed me to make by huge improvements. And I'll tell the clients about the new thing and how it allowed me to do whatever. And then they'll say something like "Sounds great, but we didn't have any issues with the stuff before this"...
And I'm there thinking hmmm maybe I didn't need to spend that 3 grand....
Like recently I've got a new bit of gear. In this case software.
There isn't a hardware equivalent. .... But it has genuinely changed the game for me quite drastically. It is allowing me to do very precise work in an area that is always troublesome in a specific situation.
There is a new trend just kicking off with labels, they are pushing the vinyl medium to it's limit and doing 6 track rather than 4 track EP's. Which is a fucking nightmare from a mastering perspective. And I've really had to sweat hard to manage all the compromises and problems you have to deal with to get it to work. Labels are happy enough where they are coming back to me to do it again, and more labels are seeing this and coming to me....against my advice I might add, I still don't think people should be doing it, but if they are then I want to make sure it's done right.....
Aaaaanway this new device is giving me way more control and letting me compromise much less, for what I think are results that border on miracle.... And to the clients it's just "cheers mate, great job"..... They seem unaware of the level of improvement....Aware but unaware, if that makes sense.
I suppose it's like that in any skilled craft.....
Re: Who's on Instagram?
what do you mean..... some sort of eq-ing to counteract inner groove distortion?

Re: Who's on Instagram?
Extremely precisely and firmly controlled dynamics in key areas with little noticeable effect to transients and way less noticeable change than you would logically expect in medium to long transients and "punch".
It means the cut is way more controlled in the lows without them sounding pinned to the wall, and the top end isn't overly rounded out or dulled in the way that Accel limiting would have to be to keep the final level competitive.
So you get more efficiency out of the terrain. Less compromise on final level.
Multiband dynamic EQ kinda.

Re: Who's on Instagram?
Well, it's a combination of tools, but booting out standard multiband (which I have always found disappointing, settled on Fabfilter MB but that was still meh, now booted though, I am Fabfilter free now) from the chain and replacing with Denise Audio Dragon Fire has really allowed me to get exactly what I need from the chain.
Denise Audio in general are really breaking new ground. Great company.
