that would be a mortal offense. some lazily/hastily coded plugins don't adjust to 96khz correctly.

If they only support 44.1, yeah.

Go back and read the first half. Look for anything with "Shy" in it.

Ask him. depends entirely on the studio. not all of them can accommodate 96khz gracefully.

Well I would cross them off my list if that was the case. My meager three year old system can easily handle a 96khz.

I guess it's good to start early with this whole studio thing.

Oh, I missed this response, sorry, K. Good idea. Talking to the ME is always a good idea. I'm going to ask some people here, actually. Still trying to figure out who to go with/who's interested...

It would be a tough decision deciding who to go with for mastering.

I have to admit, I think I would take a real stab myself. Maybe give a company one track and see if they can do better.

I don't envy you.

Actually, before I got to know everyone here, we had only one option, so it's way better now. But a tough choice nonetheless, you're right.

I would never try to master it myself; that's a mastering rule for a reason. You need fresh, unbiased ears to get a good master, not the guy who's still pissed off that that bend in the third verse didn't have as much delay on it as you envisioned...you get my drift. But yeah, totally, the idea is to submit a song to the ME so you know what you're getting.

The thing I don't quite get about submitting one track is that mastering is also about matching EQ and levels between all your tracks; sure, they can make one track sound good - but do you know if they can match all the songs perfectly? Or is that not as big a concern as I'm making it? (I pose the questions to the KVR wind...)

I would master with a friend, a friend who was extremely picky about sound, and with ears of gold.

I'm lucky, I have a friend like that, but man I've been tempted so many times to have stuff pro mastered. I mean c'mon..how many albums do we make in a life time.

Better make it as good as you can.

but who to choose? Will they do a good job?

A dilemma I'm not sure I could handle.
