Members Anderton Posted July 27, 2005 Members Share Posted July 27, 2005 Steve is a mastering engineer in the Seattle area and he came up with this GREAT tip. He includes a couple seconds of pink noise at the head of a tune that he's mastering (of course, it gets cut before the CD comes out) so that any processors with attack times or the equivalent have the chance to "turn on" before the music starts. But that's not all. By listening to the pink noise, you get a quick "snapshot" of what effects are being used...if it's EQ'ed, compressed, or whatever. Pretty cool, eh?

Members DJDM Posted July 27, 2005 Members Share Posted July 27, 2005 Steve's the man. He's done amazing things with my mixes and he turned me onto Aqua Teen Hunger Force. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members TheWewus Posted July 27, 2005 Members Share Posted July 27, 2005 You guys got a link to a website for Steve? I might perhaps need some mastering, in the not so distant future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Arsdivina Posted July 27, 2005 Members Share Posted July 27, 2005 Hi Craig, Thanks for posting the tip! It has been invaluable in my work... Ive been doing full catalogs of licensed music (including DJDMs), hundreds of files, and I can tell in an instant what the given plug-in chain is doing. ...Steve>>>http://www.arsdivina.com/http://www.arsdivina.com/UltraViolet_Studios/http://www.weedfilegarden.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylver Posted July 27, 2005 Members Share Posted July 27, 2005 Wow, that makes so much sense! Thanks again Craig! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Anderton Posted July 28, 2005 Author Members Share Posted July 28, 2005 I called Steve today for more info...seems the level he uses is minus 22.6 dB. He uses the pink noise generation function in Sound Forge, and has a macro to just plop it right into the head of the track. It really is a cool tip!
