I suspect alot of aspiring engineers and musicians
don't understand what mastering is so it might be
important for us to explain to people how it differs
from mixing.
This, I think, is the crux of the biscuit. It took me
years to realize that a significant portion of the things
I was trying to accomplish in the mixing phase were really
mastering issues.
While I think this is not the right place for a textbook on
compression, we will have to give a primer on the basics
of compression as it pertains to mastering. Learning just
a smidge about that made the final version of a project I
was working on come alive!
More importantly, good documentation is NOT written by running
through the menus and writing a paragraph on each one. Such
reference is handy, but I feel it is more important to explain
the work flow of a tool, explaining what the most likely tweaks
are at each stage and how to access them.
I look forward to subscribing to yet another mailing list :)
