Michael Fogarty Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 (edited) I Just received HD masters from one of my mastering engineers. It's been a while since I have used him. Is this what people do now? Is there any downside? (meaning, they used to just be masters -now they are HD Masters. UPDATE from Mastering Engineer: Hi Michael, I hope all is well. We’re glad you liked the mastering. We sent you HD files because they represent the best quality file you requested. Most digital distributors take HD files nowadays, and we feel this is the best way to judge the mastering. Each project is different, and we use different tools depending on the source materials. As long as you are happy with the sound. Upon approval, we will generate the remaining files. I hope this helps. Edited March 25 by Michael Fogarty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John T Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 That's what I was getting at; it's a pretty broad term. That's a really wide range of possible specs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
