How do you master your tracks?
I also posted a track in my profile, just wondering if it sounds mastered, its the one titled 'mastered'.

Jul 01, 2007 05:32 pm Doesn't sound like it's finished being mixed much less mastered, to me some of the instruments are stepping on each other and the stero being allright side in the beginning is annoying, I though my left speaker was broke.
Don't get me wrong, you captured the recording well, the instruments sound good, the lead kinda vanishes in the mix and the drums sound very buried over the "wall of guitar" you got going on.
Just cuz things sound good solo'd doesn't mean they will sound good all together...mixing is a whole different art...as is mastering.

Jul 10, 2007 04:02 pm Ok, im going to post a link to my blog twice in one day. I think now that we all have these beautiful digital sequencers, we're all mixed up about where mixing happens and where mastering happens and who should be doing what when... so I wrote up my feelings on this here: homestudiograbbag.blogspot.com/ Theres alot of good articles out there on why mastering is so important, but theres another point here that I think your post illustrates. Ive been totally guilty of trying to mix and master as one process in the past in my sequencer and all it does in the end is keep you from doing either well. Focus on mixing first and do the best job you can, then, if you can, get someone else to master... it'll be worth the trouble.
