"Sometimes, what was on the vinyl didn't sound as good as what was on the master tapes!" - IAN SHEPHERD, The [COMPRESSED] History of Mastering, Twenty Thousand Hertz #TwentyThousandHertz #NationalVinylRecordDay #IanShepherd
Do you want to learn audio mastering? I wholeheartedly recommend The Mastering Show podcast. Start from the first episode - they cover the whole mindset and process extremely well.
