This is a spin off from the mastering thread. Someone had the idea of us all having a go at some "Mastering" to see who does the best job, thought I would start the thread cause I want this to start! I`m gonna prepare some files, and maybe if phobs is cool with it, we can have the XLTRONIC POLL be the judge. The guidlines are CD MASTERING. So nothing higher then 16 bit (-insert super nintendo joke here-) please. Software and Hardware used for the job must be listed! Sorry top secret aphex kiddies. Check back here in a couple of hours! |

IMO you should do one with vocals and one with just instruments... to see how people deal with EQ'ing. I think it's easy to bury whole sections by trying to sweeten vocals or vis-versa |

No, this is actually a pretty interesting idea. I wouldn't mind having a go at it. Not that I'd be very good at it, but it's worth a try. |

I might be down, depends on when the files are posted and how long we have. |

hahah you guys are too cynical. the real probelm with this competition is that mastering is incredibly dull |

I don't know how many people are going to enjoy A/Bing multiple entries, and noting the EQing or side-chain compression techniques. "oh wow, he boosted around 2k, and cut at 300hz!, thats so much better then so and so's, he only boosted slightly at 2k, and didn't even touch the 300hx range!" You think people are going to sit there, sync up all the entries, and flip between them as they play, to see which one they like the best? Except extreme cases (of either bad or good mastering) listening to an entire track, then moving on to the next, isn't going to give a good comparison. imo. |

well someone could compile them into one track which flips between them, it could be anonymous too. id be interested to hear but im sure i wont be able to tell any difference |

||||||||
|

It all sounds the same coming out of my laptop speaker, you crazy cocks. |

Aha! We come one step closer to unlocking the production secrets of Dog Belch Laboratories! |

oh yes you are so right, it bores me to tears the whole processes... its so mind numbingly shitty. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
also the use of "crazy cocks" provides a fascinating insight into the mind of _belch. |

If there was a way of mastering oxygenfad's nobby breakcore without actually having to listen to it, I might be up for the challenge. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
easy: just turn your speakers off and apply the effects you think would do the trick. |
||||||||
|
|

|
buffer override |

Yes, just compress the fuck out of it and put an EQ curve that ruins the midrange, makes the high end sound tinny and makes the bass murky. Add a very slight amount of reverb and there you have it. A "Fuller, louder" master. :P |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
haha yeah I will master my next tune without listening to it add to that the fact that I know nothing about mastering and fun could be had! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
c'mon will, give us a track and I'll master the FUCK out of it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
