 |
|
Hi,
Just wondering which is the best route to follow. I have lots of instruments in my song and can never be bothered to master them (unless they are super dry instruments). Just wondering what other people do? I always thought it was best to master everything right at the end of production, but this wouldn't be ideal if say I wanted to send out a demo of my work.

| I find that, when working on music, I master most of it during the production process to alleviate the work later. That way everything's pretty much done by the time I'm almost done with the track. So demoing a CD would be a tab bit easier for me to put together. |

| Mastering should be the very last step, during your mixdown its important to get your sounds to be good enough so that when it comes time to master you can clean up something that is already good into something bigger and better. Mastering your own stuff is not recommended, its just better if fresh ears do it for you |

I must say I enjoyed this post. Sometimes, I don’t know why, but I love to hear really old muddy, crunchy sets from the 90s. There’s something about hearing everything go haywire that makes it feel gritty.
In terms of promoting your mix, I think it is good practice to show it off the best you can which means you may need to do a bit of mixing and mastering. |

| I ve noticed that your always doing a little bit of mastering along the way. Usually when you get to the end you just need to do a couple touch up but that should be it. I try to maintain volume levels and all that the whole time. Check out some of my work if you are interested. |
