Title: Tips on mastering this recording
Post by: Brennan on March 07, 2008, 04:45:32 AM

Recorded the Mountain Goats at the Troubadour couple days ago, came out really nice (other than the vocals being a bit suppressed, that was how it sounded though). Just looking for any tips on what I should do next, I haven't EQ'd this at all, just normalized it.

not too much I would say, sounds pretty good. But I would do some compression to bring up the vocals and guitar and maby eq for more bass.
