Members dahkter Posted November 29, 2007 Members Share Posted November 29, 2007 Hello,I'm okay with mastering on a song by song basis (granted, not a pro, but I am occasionally satisfied with my results).My questions is this, when you're doing an entire album, is it wise to use one final limiter with the same setting across all songs to give it some sort of a cohesion as a whole?

Members alphajerk Posted November 29, 2007 Members Share Posted November 29, 2007 an album should be cohesive from song to song, but not limited [ptp] to a single unit strapped across every song... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Billster Posted November 29, 2007 Members Share Posted November 29, 2007 Yeah, different songs will require different treatments to get a cohesive result through the entire sequence of tunes. You need to trust your ears. Jedi Master O'Keefe has some good stuff about this on his Studio Trenches forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Anderton Posted November 29, 2007 Members Share Posted November 29, 2007 I NEVER add a process to all songs on a global basis, although I may add that process as I do each song. My feeling about mastering is you want to make each song be the best it can, then put them all together into an artistically satisfying flow. Rarely I'll make an additional tweak to a song based on how it sounds in context, but I mean rarely - the last time I had to do that was years ago. And FWIW, I'll be giving a one-hour web seminar on mastering that's sponsored by EQ magazine - here's the URL for more details: http://storefront.theplatform.com/GetStorefrontEvent.event?pid=pdOt0LChzvl1tyDqtot0CuPLb3ElKoFJ It'll set you back $19.95 to sign up, but I really think you would dig it.
