Mastering: What Do You Want To Know?
By Brandon Drury | Published  06/5/2007

Mastering is an often misunderstood subject. In fact, I don't think I REALLY knew what it was until I took a trip down to Independent Mastering  in Nashville.

This week I'll be interviewing Eric Conn (from Independent Mastering). His mastering credits  are a Who's Who of country, rock, and pretty much everything else too. (I still want to know why he never mastered a Van Halen album...har har).

Anyway, so what do you want to know about mastering?

Post your questions here. The best questions will get asked.

I'm going to limit the interview to 10 questions so ask wisely.

    1)Do you think it is really plausible to have a good mastered song from home?
    2)Is it true as well during mixing your EQ's that you take away frequencies instead of adding frequencies?
    3)What is the best affordable processor to add shine to your mix, and not the manley?
    4)When mastering are you suppose to add a ratio of 2:1 and then use a loudness maximizer?
    5)I would like to know the best way in compression how I can get my drums to sound separate from the rest of the mix for hip-hop music?
