Is the new album going to be brickwalled/over-compressed and maximized? I love all of the Jag Panzer albums but the later ones cause ear fatigue especially when listening with a revealing pair of monitor/studio headphones and I would be disappointed if the newest one suffers the same fate. Great albums should be listened to in full and sadly the loudness war crap is preventing that.
Question about the new album mastering
- Thread starter PlasmaShock
- Start date
We had Scourge Of The Light mastered at Sterling Sound and it turned out awesome, without all of the over-compression and bordering on distorted levels. Really tight lows and sparkling highs! Sterling made all of the difference and it was well worth the investment.We hope you'll agree! Stay in touch and thanks for your message!
Thanks for the great news! Can't wait for the album too \m/
As long as one of those pesky spies from the label doesn't sneak in and change the volume levels, I don't need to worry anymore lol.

Scourge Of The Light has the best production of any Jag Panzer album. I wish Casting The Stones had the same sound quality.
EDIT: PlasmaShock and steeler6 are the same person, by the way. Apparently, this guy lives to complain about audio mastering.

We are not the same person. It seems like he's another fanatic posting about mastering, which is fine because I hate the whole loudness war trend too. As for myself, unfortunately I don't get to post on forums as much as I'd like because I have other things in life to worry about. So no, I don't live for complaining about mastering. Is it something that bothers me? Yes, but I can live with the mastering on SoL because I love the sound of the snare this time.
