Definitley agreed. There is no replacement for skills and creativity. I am really not all about the gear--I am much more all about the gear being a means to a creative end. I just want to get professional opinions on whether or not what I have should be sufficient at achieving a "major label sound"--given the right person is utilizing it all. It's good to get some feedback on all this gear I've purchased, and to hear that my signal chain might not necessarily be lacking.
I am constantly improving my skills in the mixing and mastering department. Still, I am wondering if there is some piece of software or hardware that might overall "sound better" than T-Racks. Any thoughts? |
Your best bet in getting that "Major Label" sound is a professional mastering engineer. T-Racks, even though its a great piece of software, will not come even close to what a skilled mastering engineer with thousands of dollars of specialized gear can produce (that major label sound).
Well actually, if your talented enough in the engineering department, you can get close. But that last 1% - 3% of quality is usually high end analog gear with massive amounts of bandwidth!
