Phase : 4x4 pole Allpass

Hello, how do you use this to correct phase? I've never tried to correct phase during mastering, can you give some advise or post some links to useful docs. Thanks

shudder. group delay tricks to cram more energy into a cd. that's so 90's, guys. at one point, this guy suggests mastering from an mp3 because it comes with randomized phase, making it louder. sigh. if that's mastering, then driving old ladies across the street at gunpoint is proper boy scout behaviour. -- Jörn Nettingsmeier Lortzingstr. 11, 45128 Essen, Tel. +49 177 7937487 Meister für Veranstaltungstechnik (Bühne/Studio) Tonmeister VDT http://stackingdwarves.net

Hi, Please suggest a good mastering tool (other than JAMIN).

I don't know another 'all in one' software like JAMIN, but I am happy with the results combining this pieces of software: Admin tracks: Ardour HPF / LPF: Glame HPF / LPF EQ: personally prefer use single band's , so I use Single Band Parametric, people report good results with EQ10Q Multi-Band: When needed, jaming with eq and limiter bypassed, people report good results with MBC2B Stereo aperture per bands: again jamin Phase : 4x4 pole Allpass Limiter:Zita-dpl1 Spectrum Analizer : Japa Meters: JKmeters, Ebumeter File level check and comparison: ebur128 --lufs greetings, Federico

Try the Calf Plugin pack. The latest release uses the LV2 plugin standard, and it comes with multi-band compressor, multi-band EQ, multi-band limiter, analyzer amongst many others. It runs in its own standalone rack, or within any LV2-capable host such as the latest Ardour. I'd be interested to hear how people get along with it, as I haven't had chance to use it as much as I'd like. The GUIs, while pretty, do seem to eat up all available CPU (much more so than the audio processing aspect!), but that may be something that is iron'd out quickly. Other than that, my first impressions are very good. On 9 May 2013 17:16, Federico Lopez <fede2001(a)hotmail.com> wrote:

I use sox: highpass, multiband compression, limiter (I wrote this plugin for sox, but it needs some further testing), gain, dither. Ciao Guido Il giorno gio, 09/05/2013 alle 20.26 +0530, Abhayadev S ha scritto:

EQ100Q is very good. CALF Compressor is good, CALF EQ, however, is not! On some frequencies it adds audible hum. L.V. On May 9, 2013 6:57 PM, "Abhayadev S" <abhayadevs(a)gmail.com> wrote:

It depends on the music. For my Serial Moments Project with mostly piano sounds, http://chris-bungue.bandcamp.com/album/serial-moments I use Mixbus - Black-EQ- compressor VC2B and FC70 with Lat/Vert in the most cases .Sometimes I use Claf multiband compressor or MBC2B Multiband compressor. -- chris
