Thanks for the tips, Arnold. I'm struggling with mastering myself. One overall question, then a few more specific. Genarally: What advantages, if any, does your method have over just taking a bunch of well mixed songs, throwing them in a single directory, normalizing them with ecanormalize (or something like it) and burning that directory to disc as audio? (An aside to this question: anybody know how to get metadata into wav files?)
I don't know if jamin can be interconnected with audacity, but with ardour I would propose the following: 1. Import all your songs into one ardour-session.
Import them all onto the same track/channels, side by side, I assume?
2. Connect jamin as an insert-effect on the master-track. 3. Work your way through mastering... (takes the longest time)
A little more detail would be helpful here for us newbs -- what are the basic principles of good mastering? I haven't had any luck with jamin even though it works well with *very* low latency on my system -- can't figure out what I'm supposed to do with it.
4. Export the whole session from ardour. This gives you a big wave-file and if you choose to do so (and added the track-markers) a toc-file ready for burning your audio to a cd right away.
Any advantages to a .toc file as opposed to plain old wav or aiff?
7. Sell lots of cds and make lots of money. (Depending on if your cd contains the next number one hit :-)
Sounds great. Anybody have any success at doing this without selling your soul to a record company?
Have a nice sunday,
You too! Thanks again.
