Mastering "Abbey Road side 2"- like song
I have a client who has recorded a 9 minute long "suite" which includes 3
different songs that develops cleverly into each other like some of the sequenses on Abbey Road (by the Beatles as if it's possible not to know this). The first song doesn't feature drums which gives it a huge headroom while the last one is pretty rock'n roll with no headroom and the thing in between is a strange blend between eastern and irish folkmusic. The problem is that the rest of the album is pretty comtempory sounding with everything compressed/limited into oblivion to make it as loud as all other new records and the last song of the 3 should be like that as well. I have an idea that I can do it with some automation of the final limiter but I just wanted to hear if anybody had some good advice on something like this. PS the client insists that everything is done "in the box" (Logic 8) because he wants to have the opportunity to change things in the last minute. That means that good advice like "send it to a mastering studio" is not an option, I have already tried to talk him into that but he's not sure if the project is finished yet. |

Well usually mastering is the final stage...
And you do it there, cause It's meant to be there.. So you don't go back and rework what you have allready done .. when he changes a bit ... If he's sending it for demo... I advice you to make a small changes on soundforge (or wave editor with good plugins) And give him that pre-final... So you would'nt have to automate 2 or 3 times, on every change he makes... |
