Having recently engineered recordings for Seal, Robbie Williams, Massive Attack, Ellie Goulding and Madonna, Archer is often found in Sarm’s London or Los Angeles studio reaching for his A-Designs Audio HM2 NAIL compressor/limiter.

Not only is the process somewhat of a mystery, it’s a misunderstood mystery as well. So I thought it might be a good idea to do a brief overview, excerpted from “The Audio Mastering Handbook”. Technically speaking, mastering is the intermediate step between mixing your audio and preparing it to be… View this story

Bobby Owsinski 04/25/11 11:20 AM, 1 CommentThis article is provided by Bobby Owsinski. Not everyone can afford professional mastering, and it’s so easy to do it yourself these days thanks to some great and affordable tools. The problem is that these tools are so powerful that it’s really easy to get into trouble and wind up with a product that’s a lot worse than what you started with. The process that causes all the trouble is over-EQing. This is especially true when an engineer is… View this story

Hardly a mix is completed these days without the engineer placing a compressor across the mix bus, even if they’re not sure exactly why they’re doing it. Here’s an excerpt from Mixing And Mastering With T-RackS which explains both why a bus compressor is used, and how to properly set one up. Along with compressing the individual track of a song, many engineers place a stereo compressor across the mix bus to… View this story
