on the few that i have attended, they were the 'second round' ... and we got what we wanted. didn't NEED to be there.
if i were there, it most likely be out of curiosity and rapport more than making eq or level adjustments. |
Well i wasn't talking about as an engineer.
I personally get so bored attending mastering sessons after a while that i am no help what so ever.
More for the clients who've never been to a mastering session and want to attend for their own curiosity/sanity.
There are 2 different rates at most Mastering houses, one for an attended session and one for non attended.
For some who are not familar for the reasons(which i've personally have found a little suspect) it turns them off because they feel they will not be able to afford to attend.
I just feel that if the ME wants more input on the project, make it easier for the client to want to attend and be educated for the future.
