http://streamworksaudio.com/?page=products&prodID=9& catID=12 I took the time to watch the sample and I just couldn't believe what the guy "teached". And when I think that some people actually buy these... This is one disadvantage of the internet, everybody can publish anything (only apply to such cases, of course). |

The only single positive I could make from it is that at least the sample vid talks of EQ rather than compression or maximizing. Then he goes into the "need" for freq analysis and then to... Harbal. Vaguely curious to know if listening skills, people skills and monitoring even rate a mention. |

Really? And which track's that? (it's changed regularly). Care to be specific? |

One with Ac Guitrar starting/ending. But i suspect there could be many:) Just do A/B comparison of your work to Commertial CDs of corresponding style. Still not using FFT? Its same like programmer saying i don't need any debugger i'm good enough to find error myself.... I know this tutorial is naive in many aspects, but general idea is right to me. |

Although an analyzer *can* be handy, saying a pro ME needs it is like saying to Picasso he needs a color chart to make his choices. |

IT is good tutor. I cannot find anything wrong in provided instructions. I agree what starting mastering with balancing spectrum is MUST have step. I don't think what any of freaks hanging here can reliably do it by ear... |

Yes yes, and song on your myspace page is perfect example of not being balanced correctly... Have you trieed to use Spectrum analyser to assist you? I wonder how many oppinions on this forums are formed by rumors and some sort of overthinking what is bad without having perspective. |

I guess what I'm trying to say, is that I while I applaud those with enuff experience that are quite content to rely on their ears alone, when used properly a tool is a tool. And as proven time and time again, it's never about the tool, but how we use them. Oldfart |

i wouldn't worry Adam, just start putting delays on your masters like our friend Vladislavs does and you'll be well on your way. |

Didn't you see the "tutorial"? It doesn't say about such a thing. By contrary, it says you should cut the highs |
Vladislavs Korehovs wrote on Tue, 27 March 2007 05:33 | ||
I haven't watchet tutorial fully:)))))) |
aivoryuk wrote on Tue, 27 March 2007 03:31 |
so how can you say its a good tutorial if you haven't even watched it fully??? |
masterhse wrote on Tue, 27 March 2007 14:03 | ||
I felt "gassy" before watching the demo tutorial but was completely relieved afterward. Therefore I found it to be very beneficial. |
Vladislavs Korehovs wrote on Tue, 27 March 2007 14:11 |
But maybe some folks here can write better tutors? Probaly most can but dont want to share something personal, and what if others will say it is not good decision or technique? ok better not to write then... |

Sure...Just pay me Ryanair flight and i will make it more open while we will have identical Hardware... |

It's horrible advice, and yes, I'm one of the 'freaks' who does not use any spectrum analyzers. Instead I use these things called 'ears'. Somehow my clients keep coming back... |
