Remix Hotel Hollywood

I'll be speaking tonite at the Remix Hotel at SAE in Hollywood, courtesy of IK Multimedia.  The presentation is on the mysterious art of mastering.  This will include a history of mastering, how the pros do it and when you should use one, and how to do it yourself while avoiding the many pitfalls.  Basically it's a super condensed version of many of the items found in my book, The Audio Mastering Handbook.

I'll be posting a few few screens from the presentation starting tomorrow.

Mastering is certainly a black art to many in the music business - musicians, engineers and suits alike.  There are some really powerful tools now available (like T-Racks 3) that can make your music sound great if you know what you're doing, or really wreck the sound if you use them haphazardly.  In the next few posts I'll try to lift the perceived veil of secrecy around just what mastering is and how you can get the most out of the process.
