SSL put out X-ISM for dynamic range day one year to help prevent intersample modulation distortion.
Other than that, I really like the TT Dynamic Range Meter, because it gives you a good idea of what's going on. If you want a specific recommendation, PM me. Also, pro recording studios usually offer mastering services. If you're serious about mastering a track for release, pay someone to do it.ĭJF has at least one guy offering services if he's re-registered already, and tarekith runs a mastering studio. If you want to learn to be a mastering engineer, experimentation and apprenticeships seem to be the best ways to learn. Basically, just use a limiter with a gain control in front of it to make things seem louder and fix everything in the mixdown.īut, that defeats a lot of the purpose of a mastering engineer: good, well-trained ears listening to great monitors in a well-tuned room. If you want to get into self mastering, read up on that.
