Thank you, audio equipment manufacturers. Detented pots and switches and high-quality mastering components with tight tolerances make it possible to match an album's processing through analog gear 3 months later and actually trust the outcome from the edited input files to be in-line with what was done before. Now, what needs to change after the recall? Who needs plugins?

Is that a word? Interconnectedness? It's not getting autocorrected so I'm going with it. I've got a new project on the way from a band called Projector (or PRJCTR to stay away from in-use names on iTunes).

Oddly, the two records I'm working on today both had the same initials in their source file folders. My Dropbox confusion was short-lived.

We all dream of our big break, that breakthrough album, the project that puts us on the map. Maybe mastering the upcoming Radiohead album will help get me on a map larger than Louisville, KY. Here's an old favorite. I can't wait for you to hear the new stuff.

It isn't a competition over here. I'll do it when you ask for it, but loud is not my main goal.

CDs have been getting louder since the mid-80s, as record labels fight to get their artists heard. Professor Trevor Cox asks why.
