![]() The main issues are not about some specific specialized software or hardware, but about knowing how to use compression and EQ and what to aim for in terms of result. Oh and yes: the best professional monitoring and acoustic you can get, because it’s really bordering on precision surgery (think EQs by half a db here, perhaps one db and a half there, very subtle compression settings etc).Īctually, except for the monitoring, you don’t need to invest into anything special, here again Ardour with some free plugins is a perfectly legit solution. Now if you really want to give it a try, you’ll mostly need a couple compressors (one transparent and one with some character), a good transparent EQ and a limiter - and of course something to apply them to your tracks. IOW, if you want a proper professional mastering job, better to have it done by a proper mastering engineer (not one of those “online automagic mastering” scams). ![]() ![]() With regard to mastering, it’s not only a rather difficult job that requires both deep specific technical and psycho-acoustical knowledge and lot of experience, but also something that’s better done with fresh ears and some perspective. If you only have one single (I assume stereo) track there’s no way to mix anything since mixing is about merging multiple tracks - but you can (if you still have your patches) multitrack your patch’s raw outputs to your DAW and then do the final mix in it (Ardour is great for this kind of jobs).
