So much incredible info. Checked it all out.

RE: The Mastering Genius...

I do agree as with any art, that it's ultimately not the instrument but how the artist uses it.

( It's not as much the paint as it is how the painter sees....in Mastering, what the artist hears)

This in mind, can anyone point to the Michaelangelo of Mixing? Are there those that are admired by the Mix Masters as Mastering Genius?

Bob Katz certainly is very well respected and about the only thing close to a "mastering guru" that I have heard of. He wrote a brochure touching some advanced mastering topics in a PDF that is available on TC´s website (it came bundled with the TC Finalizer). His website is http://www.digido.com/ I think. Not pretty, but some good content if I remember correctly. He also reviews gear for several mags - his writing style is very entertaining and doesn´t lecture at all despite being very informative.

What is that peculiar backround image on Bob Ludwig's site?

http://www.gatewaymastering.com/gwclients_list.asp

Oh...that's just his list of clients.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Thanks for the names. Will check out all these guys. Starting with Bob. Pretty insightful article:

http://www.digitalprosound.com/2002/06_jun.../bob_ludwig.htm

It's unfortunate that industry has so much impact on art...but I guess that's life in a commercial world.

My next question would be; "Are there guys out there with artistic integrity...that could care less what the industry wants?"...but I'd rather go and remix all my stuff...you know, make it real loud.

these guys all have artistic integrity. but as true pros, always find a way to keep the customer satisfied as well. cool.gif
i read a great interview with bernie grundman. he was critical of the modern trend towards LOUD masters. but had been considerate enough to build a custom limiter so discreet that it could function as a volume knob!
check out herb"the pump"powers, this guy has mastered almost every black american artist's records for many years. wink.gif
this guy does stuff with compressors that should carry a health warning...

I was truly just being silly with that "integrity remark". Especially regarding Bob Ludwig. A true artist grows to greater heights within confines such as these.

With Mixing/Mastering especially for Pop culture/Mass America (and beyond), I would imagine that these confines are a given.

When we're in that ivory tower we can turn the music down. But ivory is so expensive....

So let's crank stuff up and let the SMASHING begin.

It's the next day. Just wakin' up. No dinosaur hangover today.
Giving T-Racks a break. Stayin' on the wagon this time. After Barney, I said I'd never trust another Purple dinosaur anyway. I don't know what happened.

Can anyone give pointers on mastering for different genres. What are some things to take note of for each. ie Jazz will have a much more dynamic range than hip-hop or pop. How are each of the genres best approached? (Jazz, Hip-Hop, R&B, Rock, Pop, electronic etc...)

Also are there guys that have a feel for and master better in one particular genre?
