Brad,
Are you cool with this, or should I take it offline?
The objective of the thread was to see if it was possible to perform professional level mastering with prosumer gear available at places like Sam Ash, Guitar Pro, or your favorite neighborhood music store.
For some variation it might be nice to comit folks to certain pieces of gear. For example, I used a finalizer on my previous version. To be honest I don't think I've used the unit since, but would like to try some other plug like Waves. Since Ed used these it would not make sense to have multiple versions of Waves masters if you get my point. But then again the approach may be different.
Please discuss ...
