The point is - you have to know really well what you are doing, otherwise the result won't be satisfying at all. And who knows - maybe his mixes could benefit from a dedicated mastering step as well... |
It is a small world, J.is living just around the corner here . I guessed he works the same way I do, he mentioned once he doesnt want anybody to interfere with his mixes.
To prevent confusion on this, of course I dont start out with the mastering plugs in the chain. I add them in the final mixing stage when I think I got it right so far and just want to squeeze out the extra punch and volume. I m not saying I choose this path always. But (Im always there when mastering somewhere else) mostly the third party mastering guy does what I would have done too....more or less.
It is always good to have a set of fresh ears in a final stage but there are just more roads to Rom . (is that a n english proverb?)
just my 2c.
