Hey guys!
I'm totally new to mastering. I have mixed everything using Pro Tools and bounced the mix as a .wav file. I'm now ready to get those levels up and make my mix sound more professional! The main software I am using to master is Wavelab 6.. i've read some good things about it! As I've been doing my research I've found many people talking about a little thing called 'Har-Bal'... and many users use both Har-Bal and Wavelab...they do stuff to their track in Har-Bal first and then finish it in Wavelab. I'm just wondering... what the hell do you do in Har-Bal and how do you do it!? I've read about adjusting the 'peaks' and 'valleys' of your track in it. Is this just making the song more balanced or something? How beneficial is using Har-Bal?.. I've seen some people raving over it on how good it is! I just really need a nice straight answer on what it is actually used for and how it improves your track!
Thanks guys,
Matt.
