It's the night before graduation for DC. So there's like a 1% chance of going with the ladyfriend. =/

So stoked!

I'll be moving from alaska to georgia and in the meantime will be on leave in Jacksonville Florida so I'll be there!

I'm taking about what Forrester Savell did in his mastering.
Which is what nearly every producer with experience in the industry does.

I have to thank Animals for bring Chon and Conquering Dystopia along with them to a date nearby to arguably the best venue in town.

Buying my ticket first thing tomorrow, I can't believe this is happening!

Once again I am defeated by tactical use of "reading" :scratch:

What did Forrester Savell do in his mastering exactly?

ROAR · Apr 17, 2014

Mix down tracks, throw out unnecessary ones, edit silences and mistakes, noise reduction, definitely threw in some presets on top, and my favorite: sample replacement!
You know, what typically happens in the mastering process.

Don't believe me?
Ask Chris Lord-Alge what goes on in EVERY record that appears on the billboard.

AngstRiddenDreams · Apr 17, 2014

Even if the samples were replaced, which I'm sure they aren't because I don't feel Misha is a liar...
Why the hell would it matter? :spock:

So much hostility.

Svava · Apr 17, 2014

You know you're an unpleasant douche when you can turn something as uniting and peaceful as music into an elitist sausagefest.

They made a great album, it reflected a high quality of musicianship, creativity, and polish.

Enjoy it and be happy with that.

Short version:

STFU
:fawk:

Ah, you're gonna be one of those guys huh?

ROAR · Apr 17, 2014

Nonono! No hostility at all!
Look. I love this record. I love Misha.

I also have a good insight in the industry and am merely expressing my thoughts.
I could be wrong, no doubt. I've been wrong before! But I don't think I am.
And it's not a big deal, like I said I love this record.
Just don't act like this final product is done any differently.

Edit:
Ad hominem is not a good way to make your point friend!

Slunk Dragon · Apr 17, 2014

If you respect someone else on this forum, you wouldn't be ignorantly trying to disprove a facet of an album THE GUY FREAKING WORKED ON!

Let's get over it, who gives a shit how an album was recorded? Pointless conversation where you're trying to discredit someone who actually worked on the album.

ROAR · Apr 17, 2014

Nailed it.

I am not sure who you have been talking to/what you have been reading, but what you have described is what the mixing engineer/producer does, not the mastering engineer. (Aka Nolly, not Forrester)

Forrester mastered the AAL album. He did literally NOTHING out of the things you described, as none of those happen during mastering (in fact they are all done before the track is mastered). It's actually kinda funny how certain you are that a mastering engineer would do that haha.

To educate you a bit:
A mastering engineer generally receives a Stereo .wav mixdown of each song after it has been edited/mixed (all the steps above completed) etc. That is what he has to work with, which might put into context why he would actually be unable to do all of the things you listed above. In some cases, some mastering engineers will master with stems, but that isn't very common.

Sorry if this pwned you kinda hard, but better to learn it late than never haha.
