A certain MiNE 109, of uk.rec.audio "fame", writes :

I don't see any contradiction here with what I've been saying, although
I would hardly call it the kind of detailed appraisal of mastering
techniques that Carlos' site provides.

Too bad she couldn't use Motown engineers to master her lps!

She didn't have any say in the matter.

A flat
transfer seems a good thing.

The term "flat transfer" isn't defined anywhere there.

Another question and answer was relevant. Ohlsson mentions how much he
likes cutting vinyl: "It's wonderful."

Enjoying doing something doesn't mean it's inherently good.

This is of course a matter of disagreement. If I were a recording
artist, I wouldn't want my mastering engineer to add distortion and
compression to my recording. Then again, this is more to do with the
market he is selling his work into.

You wouldn't say that as such. You'd say, how can I get a drum sound
like I heard on this other recording?

Colouring a drum sound at the mastering stage would be plain daft, I
don't care what anyone says. If you want a certain drum sound, you'll
record it properly and colour it on your multitracks, not when you're
doing any pre-pressing stuff.
