There's a tiny bit of reverb to blend the sides, but unfortunately a lot of reverb was printed in. (Should have just figured the chord sequence out, and put a few pads and arps in from Alchemy instead, would have taken less time!)
thanks for the info.
Quote:I did print a slightly dryer version. Was it possible to ever have *too* much reverb on an 80's track?
good point!! lol
Quote:Mastering: I have this session set up with reference tracks so I can A/B/C switch, and use that to lock in the appropriate tonality, brightness and stereo image...............
how are we loudness matching the ref tracks?
how can we overcome the ear's non-linear characteristics?
how do we compensate for the large differences in frequency response between the reference tracks themselves?
how do we overcome the problem of the combined frequency response of the monitors and the room and it's consequences in impairing judgement?
just some questions i'd ask myself (partly triggered by your Bose comment)

this isn't necessary. paragraph "on a technical point..." of this post above refers: http://www.discussion.cambridge-mt.com/s...5#pid50675. it was important.
go easy
laters dude,,,
