Mastering

[Frank DeFede]

Is there a built in plug in for Cakewalk for Mastering?  If not, any recommendation are much appreciated.

Thanks

There are a couple plugins that you can use for mastering, but there are better ones available. Under ProChannel the two compressors can be used both for light compression and for limiting and you can use the QuadCurve EQ. Currently I like the Fairchild 670 compressor for mastering. Both IKMs and Waves seem pretty good. I like dedicated limiters when I master. I like waves L3Multimaximzer and I just picked up IKMs Stealth Limiter, but haven't used it yet. I'm not that good at mastering, but thought I'd get the discussion started.

Hey @Frank DeFede

Check out this article by Craig. I've tried the example he mentions and it sounded great.
