And if gear DOES matter, does it define your sound ? And how ? In this episode we’re joined by Mike Hillier to talk about the significance of gear in mastering.
Topics include:
- Is a wide selection of gear essential to success in mastering (and mixing) ?
- What are the “essential” pieces of gear we just couldn’t live without ?
- If two pieces of gear can be made to sound almost identical, does that mean there’s no worthwhile difference ?
- Is that even a question worth asking ?
- Do mastering engineers have a “sound” ? What defines it ?
- How does your gear shape your “sound” ?

Which mastering EQ sounds best ? Hear for yourself !
Hi Jon and Ian
Speaking of gear:
Have you guys any experience with either the Boz The Wall-limiter plugin or ToneBoosters Barricade 4?
Reason I'm asking is because I rarely hear any pros mention these plugins, and yet they seem to be very good. Any thoughts or experiences?
Best regards
