Come on Ralf... End of this discussion. We are not taking about the same thing here, and you do not even attempt to understand what I am trying to say to you. The long and the short of it - is that there are no pre-sets for mastering. This is your point, and coincidently the point Bob Katz also made. There are however a set of conditions and a procedure you can follow within bounds that can enable you to create a professional master of any music source, fitting the genre without mastering too loudly, which is my point. Learning by experience is good, but arguing a point you do not know all the facts about is not. _______________________________________________ 64studio-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.64studio.com/mailman/listinfo/64studio-users
