The Mastering Show #40 - Your Questions Answered - Live

A Q&A episode with a twist - we recorded it live, with questions arriving all the time we were recording. We’ve added them all to the list for future episodes - here are the ones we had time to tackle this time: * How has mastering changed over Ian's career, and where is it going next ? * Is there somewhere out there with reference tracks for mixing and mastering ? * Are there any tips for avoiding the trap of "mastering with your eyes" ? * Should you use compression when mastering classical music ? If so, when ? * Why you shouldn’t make master everything at -14 LUFS for online streaming * Is absolute polarity audible ? Does it matter ? * Is “AI” mastering like iZoTope Ozone 8 any good ?
