Hi,

We talk a lot about 2.0 mastering gear, analog or digital, combination of both but I do not see much covering 5.1 mastering equipment.

SO.. I imagine nobody hardly has 3 OCL2, 3 STC8s, 3 VariMus, 3 Sontecs, etc.  

All I have here is the 2.0 basic analog mastering set-up, PT HD Accel and TC MD3, the scalled down version of System 6000's MD4.

What is left for 5.1, 7.1?
a) System 6000 ? ( any S7000 coming soon  ?)
b) Sonic/Sadie HD workstations ?
c) Waves Bundles ?

Thanks

In 2007 Jay Frigoletto mentioned:

" 6 channel Z-Sys boxes, multiple Weiss units,SSL 6 channel comp and an API rack with 5 or 6 550m EQs. Add to that a t.c. 6000 and you have a killer setup for surround mastering".

David Glasser Sr. Member Offline Posts: 381 Re: 5.1 Mastering Gear Surround mastering requires so much more than additional processing. Proper, calibrated monitoring, obviously, but also a multichannel transfer/monitoring console (I use a full surround Maselec MTC-6); additional metering - both analog and digital; some means of checking bass management; multichannel converters, including 2 sets of D/As if you are doing analog processing; lock to picture stuff or QT playback and  monitor for DVD-Video work; and possibly additional workstation(s) or other playback machines. Assembling the processing equipment is the easy part, but I think it's important to use matching equipment for all channels.
