"You should be wary of sample rate conversion between 48,96, or 192kHz to 44.1kHz... "
Good advice!
If you look at my initial response post date (Apr 07, 2006), I have long ago changed my method and done all my tracking at 24-bit/44.1 kHz.
What Mastering Chain are you Using?

Idealized curve matching
It is stunning just how well the idealized curve matching works IMHO. Thanks Jesse - for sharing such a great idea and your views on all those plug-ins. I did follow it with McDSP ml4000 which is a nice multiband processor.
Thanks
Thanks
I found another great broadband brickwall limiter. It's not as transparent as Voxengo Elephant, especially on the treble transients, but for some things it just sounds better, especially if you aren't working with stuff that has very loud or very linear treble transients.

check it out. I like it almost as much as Elephant all around, it really is great for stuff you need a vintage touch on at the brickwall limiter stage. In fact, it's too bad they can't release a plugin that only has the "Drive/Color" function, because that sounds wonderful.
cheers

Is it just me, or was the May 26, 2007 entry by uncasse (Jesse) edited? Didn't it originally describe the use of the M function (curve matching) over a defined frequency range (ie 70 hz to 12k) and using an idealized curve as the match which Jesse painstakingly created then provided us a download link? I really liked the approach and still use it.
It's just you. The post was over here in this thread;

But yeah, I suppose I'll have to create a new thread just for it, like I said I would. I also have a higher resolution reference file, lil more accurate, made from 2 hours of noise. heheh.
Keep an eye out for version2 of my Brickwall LImiter harmonic/aliasing distortion thread which I'll be posting too, probably after the new "ideal curve" thread.
