Transition mastering
If I wanted 2 get a tune mastered. what would i have 2 take to the studio
is it a whole track(.wav) or the track still in its production stage(reason, fruity loops file)
and how much do transition charge per track?

Re: Transition mastering
take a WAV.
try get the mixdown good b4 u go, if ur not sure then take 2 dif mixes of the same tune and see what he says is best for the cut
30 for a plate, 1 tune on each side.
they'll do a proper job and when ur playin loud it makes all the difference

gonna sound proper ignorant here but....if you cut a dub, will they put the mastered wav on cd for you or is that asking too much / contradicting what the service offers? Seems daft having to then rip the dub to mp3 to send out to people but equally daft to get it mastered twice, once to dub and once to cd.
Could anyone could shed some light on this one

It´s very common to master differently to different medias, ie. CD, dub and vinyl. The reason to this is the fact that each medium has different limitations and requieres different approaches.
I would chose specific CD mastering for CD´s, of course, and ditto for vinyl and dubs.

DONT,
Compress your final mixdown. As in, when and if you use compression for say your bass as you mix that down thats fine but then when you get all your parts and you wanna say copmpress it in maximise it your closing it or as Jason puts it "wrapping it up" which is not good from a mastering point of view. Thats what they do for you.
First track I took we did that n Jason couldnt get to the Freq's as easy as he can if its a flat mixdown.
I guess this depends on what you use cos in Reason you just click on export right? I take it if your using your mastering suit that might be "wrapping" it.
I use QB and work with midi (hardware) so my was is very different but I would have thought the outcome would be the same.
Just something to think about

this is because there's a scary number of people in the grim scene (especially mcs) who don't care and can't really tell the difference with some quality....boomnoise wrote:why do all the grime mix cds sound like they are mastered from shitty mp3s.
i mean, it must be because they actuallly are. but why!?
i do vocal recording for loads of grime mcs and it's amazing how many of them are surprised that i can't mix a whole tune when they give me the instrumental as a 128bit mp3!!!!
oh well...
peace
