Gear: does it matter ? And if so, how much ?

And if gear DOES matter, does it define your sound ? And how ? In this episode we’re joined by Mike Hillier to talk about the significance of gear in mastering.

Topics include:

* Is a wide selection of gear essential to success in mastering (and mixing) ?

* What are the “essential” pieces of gear we just couldn’t live without ?

* If two pieces of gear can be made to sound almost identical, does that mean there’s no worthwhile difference ?

* Is that even a question worth asking ?

* Do mastering engineers have a “sound” ? What defines it ?

* How does your gear shape your “sound” ?
