Thanks Paavo, The Meta Data seemed to be the issue. As always- you have great support & response!

Hello...Any idea what would cause HB2.3 to shutdown when you go to play the WAV file? It loads and edits fine...I tried other Wav files and even reinstalled 2.3 with no luck. :cry: Same for HB2.2. I had to go back to HB2.0 to get file to play without shutting down? I see there was some issues with M...

Hello Guys, Just curious on why you pulled the Mastering Video with Izotope. I took a quick peek and was hoping on checking it out in more detail. Did you get flack from M-Audio or "Mastering" Outfits that you were giving away too much information. :twisted: It's great the way you Support ...

Super....Thanks a million. I did try the UVmeter you mentioned in another post and was having a hard time figuring which parameters to adjust in the dynamics. So, from what you're saying is- I adjust the T Limiter lever for each band and try to get the most horizontal constant. (I noticed bands will...

You guys are awesome ! :D No one touches you support wise... I tried your approach and it definitely sounds better. The Ozone preset (GM Complete CD)really jacks the High Dynamic Band up. (+11db) Seems to be alot and really creates a hump on the final HB graph. Plus Auto-smoothing & RMS detectio...

Hello Earle & Co. You've got a great product and site. I looked thru the Mastering Tutorial and noticed it was geared towards Waves or Sound Forge. I was wondering if you or any other users have any input on how to deal with Multi-Comp/Mastering use via RMS Peaks, etc. by utilizing Izotope Ozone...

Amen that Har-Bal is what it is... A unique & awesome tool that we were lucky enough to come across. I'd hate to think of Har-Bal going Corporate and becoming a Waves/Native Instruments type product. Where it wouldn't be accessable to the Independent Artist on a budget or have such great "F...

Car- Assuming you have a decent mix..(If not, try the following with the Mix Fix presets first). Which I use the amazing HAr-Bal to look at and determine.(Make sure you slam peaks & mix is -1or -2db tops.). I'll try the presets for Master Finalize, see which sounds best without tweaking and then...

I picked up PSP's VintageWarmer. A hybrid between a Tube Warmer and a MB compressor that has given me some awesome results for only $149.
Try the demo and send me the $450.00 difference if you like it....

Thanks B5

RMS per channel... -14.73 & -15.45.

I have the following Plugs that I use to Master. > HarBal > Scrollworks Peak Slammer > PSP VintageWarmer Multi-Compression I perform the EQ first with the amazing HB. Next I peakslam with Scrollworks to -3.3db to -4.4db just enough to take off the peaks but leave most of it alone, without normalizin...

Appreciate the quick response! On your "Quick Start" guide you have "bring down Peaks over 3db". What is your definition or reference point to determine this peak. I see that on your supplied Ref Files there seems to be Peaks over 3db? Where are you measuring from as far as a baseline or point from ...
