Contemplating my #mastering workflow for this project now that I've begun working on individual tracks. Because they're mostly solo recordings of banjos with the same pitch range and timbre, I've been able to get away with a reusable #auria project template that has EQ and a little reverb preconfigured on a track.

Having snapped up #fabfilter Pro-L2 on sale yesterday, I'm now much better-equipped to master tracks right in Auria... I know prevailing old-school workflow is "get your final mixdowns into a single project, and limit/eq/tweak each song until it sounds cohesive with the rest of them," but I'm not sure that's necessary given the nature of my tracks.

I'm thinking I can probably get away with the #mixing I'm already doing on the solo banjo tracks, and use Pro-L2 on the project Master track to target the same #LUFS (holy smokes is the Loudness metering mode in Pro-L2 nice), and get everything sounding pretty consistent. Easy enough to tweak and re-mixdown individual tracks as needed. #audio

Been tinkering with some sound tests, and the more I use it, the more I love Fabfilter’s Pro-R reverb; its really amazingly good. (And *cheap* for #Auria Pro on iPad; a fraction of the cost of the desktop plugin, same functionality as far as I know. Likewise Their Pro-Q EQ plugin. pricey for iOS apps but worth every penny, professional quality tools.) pro-tip: if you time it right you can get Auria and the #Fabfilter plug-ins for 50% off, they go on sale a couple of times a year. #recording
