Mastering with Triton Studio

[mtellesa]

Hi everyone, unfortunately it seems I have another problem
I finally finished my song, I recorded it on CD with internal CDRW (thank you Sharp!), but when I listened to it on home HI-FI it sounds very different from what I heard on keyboard. If I listen to my Wave file on Triton, it sounds perfect, while on HI-FI it seems to be too much basses. I've tried to adjust it balancing sounds, but the result is quite "flat". Is it normal? Do you think it is better to buy a mixer? Or it is just me ?

Hi there!

You will never be able to judge your sound that comes out of your Korg, if you're just using a pair of headphones or Hi fi speakers. The only way to really determine if your sound is right, you'll need a pair of 'truth' monitor speakers. These speakers do not 'boost' the low end, or do any other fancy stuff to enhance the sound. Of course these speakers are a little more expensive then a normal pair of Hifi speakers.

If you mix your music so it sounds good on those, it will definitely sound better on your stereo.

Of course note, that buying the speakers is only the beginning, mastering itself is a job that is not so easy to learn in 123...

Greetz!

Thank you very much DuJokke. I was going crazy, and burning thousands unuseful CDs! I'll try this way. Thank you again!
