RE: the final stage
Thanks gents. Let me just get this all clear in my mind:-
1. DATs are dead.
2. 16 bits are dead but I should record at 16 bits on a standalone CDR burner if I want to be able to send a CDR to my DJ mate for him to play out in a club before I send anything of to be mastered.
3. One should not record a CDR at 24 bits because not everyone would be able to play it on the club CD player/deck.
4. But I should record my master at 24 bit for the mastering house.
5. A pioneer 106 will be an excellent choice for me to record my final mixes too (straight out of the main mix of my mackie desk) for both 16 bit and 24 bit.
6. I should make my drum VST load drum samples at "32bit on load" and I should bounce down my soft synths to 24 bit WAV's.
Thanks guys. Its taken me 4 years of blood,sweat and tears to get a track to the stage when I'm finally ready to record it and send it off to the labels.
