| Nobody was trying to be rude, in fact I think that if you read between the lines of the tongue-in-cheek responses you will find the real answer.
My first question is why are you using a model of an SSL console for mastering, isn't this for mixing? Chris Lord-Alge has some presets for the Waves version of the SSL plug-in, but again these are for mixing (not that I would use them as an absolute either).
The concept of mastering is to listen objectively to a mix and determine how to optimize it for playback on it's intended media. It would be better to do a bit of trial and error to determine how it impacts the sound of the mix, then repeat the process until you get the intended result, rather than rely on someone else's concept of what constitutes "sweetening" and hasn't even heard your mix.
Some people prefer salmon over trout. I'm glad that there's a choice over a Filet-O-Fish preset . |
