griztant prie temos (dar keletas istrauku):

the next step, editing, may be carried out at either the recording studio or at mastering house. It is followed by premastering, which is the official name of our profession, to distinguish it from the technical mastering that takes place at the plant (though everyone calls us mastering engineers for short). Premastering can include artistic and technical tasks of sequencing (putting the album in song order), dynamics processing, leveling, equalisation, noise reduction, even some mixing <...>. Naturally, the output medium of premastering is officially called the premaster, but we usually label it master.

taigi drisciau teigti, kad masterinamas yra cd. Pavieniai gabalai ne masterinami, tiesiog koreguojami (kas turetu buti padaryta studijoje). dar vienas pastebejimas:
Treat every compressor/limiter as a loaded weapon, and do not point it at anyone unless you intend to use it. It's the LAW!

As pats niekada nesidaryciau masterio. Mano nuomone, masteri turi daryt profesionalas, kuris uzsiima tik masteringu. Bob Katz, zinoma, verta perskaityt del bendro supratimo, daugiau gal del to, kad zinotum, ko nereiktu daryti. Ismokti masterinti is knygu butu mazdaug tas pat, kaip ismokti vairuoti automobili losiant need4speed. Taip, kai kuriais atvejais menasterintas skamba geriau.

Zodziu, nesukit plauciu del masterio, atsiras, kas ji padaro, butu tik ka masterint (ne man, aisku).

Ir klausimas - gal kas zinot, ar lietuvoje apskritai yra destoma audio inzinerija? Logiskai mastant, kazkur turetu but ruosiami tv, radio, kino specialistai, ar tiesiog studijos vyksta uzsienyje (o gal visi savamoksliai?)
