Remastering Mashups and Edits?
Remastering Mashups and Edits? Posted on: 12.10.2011 by Emmett Molen Hey Guys,I have produced some Mashups and Re-Edits in my DAW, by simply dropping some acapellas over (popular) instrumentals and adding some Effects. Nothing special really. The acapellas and especially the instrumentals have both already been professionally mastered before (as i bought them directly from Beatport & Co.). Do i now have to remaster my edit all the way over or is it ok, to simply apply some leveling of gain controls within my DAW, in order to play them at my gigs? What do believe is the better approach? How do you guys do this? | |

| Monserrate Rupnow 17.10.2011 | I you can get away with just normalizing them, I'd recommend that. The base songs have already been mastered, so there's a risk of really making them too squashed or one dimensional if you try and master them again. Hard to say definitively though, its going to depend on each individual song. |
| Chas Giraldez 16.10.2011 | a track with vocals does need to be mixed down and mastered differently so the vocals sit in the mix well. |
