The Mastering Show #80 - You asked, we answer (or try to!)

December 18th, 2021 BY Jon Tidey2 Comments

Time for another Q&A show! Thanks for all your comments, reviews and questions, please keep them coming. 
In this episode we tackle:

  • Are tools like SplitEQ fundamentally changing mastering?
  • Level automation - before or after the limiter?
  • Should you make separate masters for broadcast?
  • Can (and should) we correct absolute phase in mastering?
  • Do you need a dedicated headphone amp?
  • What have we changed our minds about in mastering, over the years?
