Several years ago I wrote a basic mastering tutorial to help my fellows at an internet forum for guitarists. I was happy to help out some of my musical family. Soon the article was forgotten until the reminders started coming in. People who I had never known (or visited forums with) had turned up my article on a search engine and used it to master their own albums. The stories of success gave me a warm, fuzzy feeling. A few people even sent me a copy of their album. A few days ago I checked the traffic stats for my old web site and noticed that tutorial is still getting a fair number of hits. A quick search of the web revealed several other sites which had copied the tutorials exact steps and even used similar screen shots. They say imitation is the most sincere form of flattery so I was actually pleased to make this discovery. After some thought I had the realization that if people are still clamoring for a five year old article, there must be a demand for this type of knowledge. A few short brain cycles later and this site was born. Modern technology has made it much easier to maintain a collection of knowledge and articles on the web. Today I cleaned up the old mastering tutorial and it has become the first article for this site. It has been renamed Modern Mastering. It is included in the site navigation where more articles are soon to follow. Enjoy!
