so then macc, what mastering equipment do you use?
I use Klein and Hummel O300 monitors in a highly treated room, in combination with Sennheiser HD600s with a StefanArt Equinox cable. All monitoring is fed by a Benchmark DAC-1.
For processing I use a combination of hardware and software, with Mytek conversion. Hardware-wise I’m using a Gyratec G14 stereo tube equaliser, a Summit DCL-200, Avalon 747VTSP and tfpro P38. In software I use mainly UAD and Voxengo plugins, I won’t bore you by listing them all.
It’s all up, in public, on our website. Like it is on every other mastering site. This is kind of the point that I was trying to make to you
I aint gonna tell you what equipment i use so you can then go & buy it youselves.
Then I see my point hasn’t been made.
sounds to me like someones a bit jealous that i can offer a free service that you might have to charge for. Why would anyone use your service when you treat competition in such a childish way
I think you’ve missed my point man. Admittedly, I put it in a rather grumpy way and I apologise for that, but if you re-read it a little more calmly I hope you’ll see the point I was trying to make. It might seem odd that I might want to help ‘competition’ but I don’t see it that way at all. I was trying to help.
You asked about improving your service, and I just wanted to point out that giving people straight answers is a good start. Some people don't care, but other people*will* ask you, and dodging questions looks bad. That’s all I was saying. Every single ME I know of will talk to you about their gear and procedures until the cows come home because they have nothing to hide, and know that the real ‘magic’ isn’t in some fancy hardware or a fancy plugin, but in the ears, the experience, and the monitoring. You can’t buy experience and wisdom, or get them from a book.
On another note, I don’t think I need to point out (but I am going to anyway
) that I go a long way out of my way to help anyone I am able to, on this and several other forums. While my delivery was a bit grumpy here, this was done in the same spirit. Hopefully at some point you’ll get that I was trying to help.
there really are some stnuc on this forum
Oi, now steady on, there's no need for that. When you’ve calmed down a bit I hope you’ll get what I was trying to say.
Again, I know I was somewhat grumpy but I really mean it. Openness and transparency will get you a lot further than secrecy and making out there’s ‘magic’ involved. Best of luck.
) , the eq just wouldn't turn on. Totally dead. 
Drove to the nearest supplier to get the specialist fuses it takes as I assumed the fuse had gone. Tried 8 different fuses, still dead. Power cable, must be. No. Tried 3 different power cables, all working fine in other gear, damn thing still won't turn on.
