Show Notes
This started out as a Q&A episode, but one way or another there turned out to be a real theme to many of the questions, namely - how do you choose between technical and creative considerations, when mastering ?
Questions like:
- When the client wants songs to sound different
- When to use mid-side processing (or not)
- Transient shaping - hardware or software ?
- How much distortion ?
- When is unbalanced EQ am artistic choice ?
- What to do when the "correct" thing to do goes against the emotion of the song
Take a listen and find out how these questions all connect !
