Andy's mastering (finalizer)

[A Toolish Circle]

he looks like he's using Nuendo/cubase ????? as his software workstation !!!! ?????

and it looks like a waves linear phase eq or multiband to me on the plug in monitor

he goes back and forth between Nuendo and Pro Tools with a KVM switch... and yes, that's Waves Lin MB in the lower right hand corner of the screen. it's by FAR not all that he uses (notice the racks full of hardware), so run and get Nuendo and Waves and try to be the next Ted Jensen... if ya want.

hahah ! mastering my own mixes esp for other bands is cringeworthy for an inexperienced dude like me , i'd much rather leave it to the pros , until they start fucking up my mixes and i can afford a $$$$ lush monitoring setup

i'm surprised he uses nuendo only because Sadie keeps propaganding that their workstations are far more superior sonically than ur normal DAWs like cubase etc.

i'm not too surprised he uses waves though....a lot of the mastering dudes here in australia have tons of them here

but that tube tech stuff is great , i've seen one in action ( stereo multiband compressor ) at a mastering studio and it had that "glueing" effect everyone raves about when u mention SSL.

james , any idea what sort of monitors (brand) he's using ? they look really odd

They are Bowers and Wilkins 800 series. They are amazing and VERY expensive.


They are popular in the mastering world.

What you don't have $24,500 USD just lying around the house to spend on monitors?

nah, he's not like the rest of us, i've got more than that sat in my wallet right now.

Yes I do actually :Smug:

nah.. Imagine you spend that money on monitors thiking "Great I got my B&W 800" and then realising that you have to spend another $10000 on power amps!

 

[cobhc]

yeah we all have that dilemma

 

[Gnash]

Wow! I like my Waves bundle even more now!:Smokin:

 

[smy1]

What? You guys don't realize that Andy and James never really met Ted Jensen? Can't you see that those are just pics of a Ted Jensen cardboard-standup-figure with moveable arms!

Compare:

The alleged B&W speakers are probably Fisher Price, too

Good shit, those pics are killer James

 

[Andy Sneap]

Chuck Norris can master with Nuendo, Waves and Fisher Price, and actually win the loudness war.
