Howie Weinberg Mastering Studio Tour

IG: @borzamastering

I don't think anyone has ever done a studio tour at Howie Weinberg Mastering and, being a mastering engineer at Howie Weinberg Studios myself, I have the unique opportunity to give you said tour!

This desk is not for the faint of heart! It took me disassembling and reassembling the entire thing before I actually fully understood the signal flow and what was going on underneath the hood (we had to move the whole studio about a year and a half ago, don't worry I wasn't just taking things apart all willy nilly).

Analog Equipment includes (but is not limited to):
SPL DMC Mastering Console (the old one)
SPL Masterbay (the old one)
dCS DAC and ADC
Mytek Brooklyn DAC and ADC
Sontec MES-432C/9
Sontec MEP-250EX
Waves L2 Ultramaximizer (hardware)
Custom SSL-type Compressor
Focusrite Red 3

Monitors:
PMC MB2S-XBD
Yamaha NS-10
KRK V8
Genelec 1032 (I think... don't remember the model off the top of my head)

Hope you enjoy!

Interesting that Howie is still using L2 Hardware, i’ve got one, but it hasn’t been in the chain for 10 years. Give Howie my best!

Would you advise sample rate converting up to 96 from 44.1 if I don't have other way to avoid sample rate conversion? Or master at 44.2

I just realized, that is two Motu's for 2 computers)

so you make money just adding an EQ curve, nothing else?? Oh i forgot you only have 2 EQs thats your full gear - fair enough.
