Recording & Mastering: RM7 - The Game Has Changed but You Don’t Know It: How to Make Recordings Sound Great on Streaming
Presenter:Alan Silverman, Arf! Mastering - New York, NY, USA; NYU|Steinhardt Dept.of Music Technology
Abstract:
Records are engineered to sound their best in the real-world. To accomplish this on services like YouTube, Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal, and Pandora requires a different approach to mixing and mastering because of the way today’s streaming services treat audio. Few producers are aware of the game-changing technology under the hood. Recorded music can sound bigger and better than it has in the last decade, ironically, on audiophile systems as well, by applying an understanding of the new technology. Grammy-winning mastering engineer Alan Silverman demonstrates how to harness this potential to the fullest.
