![]() Leave the RMS level low enough to maintain coherent dynamics of the material. I agree with all of the posters on this topic about over compressing. A real shame Steinberg had to -up PGs cool program. But they will be using dongles in this version :(. I've found Wavelab to be lacking compared to other mastering programs. Wavelab was the one Steinberg product that was cool like Cakewalk (PG always answers in their forums). It is made by Steinberg and has been out for years now. WaveLab Elements 7 is perfect software for home recording. The Wavelab Mastering Section is an automatic feature that simplifies things for intermediate engineers, but IMHO, you would be better off getting a viable hard knee limiter, and learn how to use it to set your volume to match the commercial squash. Steinberg WaveLab 7 Elements - 'Restore some of the old audio with the Sonnox bundle'. In the case of going to cd directly after Wavelab processing, you want to set the dither, to 16 bits, Type 1 noise shaping, set the faders to the amount of dB's that you want the perceived output to relate. You can use the Mastering Section in Wavelab to increase the loudness. But I think that he wants to master his own stuff. Give the mastering house the highest bit and sample rate that you have recorded and or mixed to and leave the dithering off, if you "have" to reduce the wordlength. Joe makes a good point, if you are going to mastering house, leave the dynamic processing and eq off of the stereo bus, run it flat with no fx.
