MULTITRACK MASTERING - THE
LOST PROCESS IN RECORDING
by Bob Dennis
|
|
Engineers of old
had to be both smart and good to get the best sounding final mix.
New engineers can be as smart but actually don't have to be as good
to get good results. Premastering the multitrack allows the engineer
to concentrate on getting the best mix without having to "correct"
the recording and mix at the same time. |
