Good ears - The best monitors
Keith828:
I confess I'm a complete Mastering rookie, I downloaded the Mac version of AA on Monday, I've learnt a huge amount reading in this forum and I would like to say a personal thank you to all the professionals and amateurs that have taken the time to advise and help where they can, I at least have found all your input very informative.
I believe I have good ears, so I'm very interested to hear opinions on these versions of Depeche Mode's 'Told You So.'
Version 1 is the original imported directly into Pro Tools from their 'Contruction Time Again' disc, and bounced as an AIF, and uploaded to SoundCloud
Versions 2 & 3 are version 1 having been through AA, then imported to Pro Tools and bounced as AIFs, and uploaded to Soundcloud.
Is version 1 best, and if you believe it is could you explain why you believe it is?
Are either or both of versions 2 & 3 improvements, or worse, and if you believe so could you explain why?
I'm hoping that many pairs of good ears here can explain the 'finer' points, what I'll miss or not understand when Mastering my mixes.
Many thanks to anyone that takes the time to help. Keith.

Version 1 doesn't seem to exist on the cloud, so it's not possible to make any comparisons.

Cn't summise why you're having a problem Steve, seems to be there OK when I click. :?
SteveG:
Well whatever caused it, I don't know, but it's there again now. Yesterday it said 'whoops - we can't find this file...'
Cal:
Version 1 is the original so no comment on that. Version 2's compression would disqualify it for me. Version 3 has been lightly treated in a way that gives some pleasant punch and solidarity.
