Bob Katz Advanced Mastering Workshop

David attended an Advanced Mastering Workshop hosted by Bob Katz at SAE in London on the 21st May 2010.

During this workshop the following topics were discussed:

  • Calibrating monitor speakers.

  • The ‘loudness wars’ in music using audio examples from the '70's until present day to demonstrate the loss of dynamics in popular music today (you only need to go through your record collection to hear the difference in era's!).

  • Audio mastering software demonstrating powerful editing tools.

  • Audio mastering hardware, including discussing what Bob uses and why.

  • Advanced tips and tricks on the use of hardware and software which were demonstrated.

During the workshop we also had chance to critically listen to some great masters, a truly educational experience!
