		<title>Different Types of Analog</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So &#8212; as you may have read &#8212; I have both the Cranesong H.E.D.D. and the Neve 5042 True Tape. And I realized, after a few months of use, that they represent two different &#8220;types&#8221; of analog.
The H.E.D.D. is a high-quality coloration box, and is basically very good at taking dimensionless digital recordings and making [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Note From the Hubris Dept.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Experience is a funny thing. It can lead to a chip on your shoulder if you&#8217;re not careful. I was reminded on this recently while interacting with a potential client. After mentioning he was shopping around San Diego for mastering I cited my experience and reputation, saying if he wanted professional mastering I was pretty [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Perils of Working OTB</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m working on mastering a single for a video right now and am coming across a sticky situation. The vocal has a lot of sibilance in a low range&#8230;5k-ish. That&#8217;s low for sibilance. So, the problem is that when I de-ess, it cuts into things like the hi-hat and air from the snare drum. Even [...]]]></description>

		<title>400</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, here we are: blog post #400. Wow. I started writing this blog about 2 years ago and, well, time has flown. 
As far as I know, this is the only blog about professional audio post-production/ mastering that has this much steam behind it&#8230;so, if nothing else, that kind of spurs me on to write [...]]]></description>

		<title>It&#8217;s Good to Know What You&#8217;re Doing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s important to have good gear&#8230;whether you&#8217;re recording, mixing, or mastering. My mantra has always been &#8220;get the best gear you can afford.&#8221; However, it&#8217;s also very important to know how to really use your gear. This was proven to me again, recently, when I began working with a new piece of equipment.
I picked up [...]]]></description>

		<title>Give the People What They Want</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was contacted by a local musician the other day. He had an album that was &#8220;mastered&#8221; (ahem) somewhere else in San Diego and he decided to re-mix and wanted to get it re-mastered.
I asked him to send a sample mix and I took a listen and heard some things I thought could be fixed [...]]]></description>

		<title>Windows Compatibility</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you&#8217;re anything like me, you&#8217;re probably wondering when Microsoft will settle on a version of Windows. Just when I was feeling that audio software and hardware was fully on-board with Vista, they pulled the plug on it. Now we&#8217;ve got 7. I&#8217;m still on XP &#8212; as are most audio pros &#8212; but will [...]]]></description>
