Two more things:
1. The Bible when it comes to Mastering is a book:
Mastering Audio; the Art and the Science, by Bob Katz. 2nd edition,
published by Focal Press.
Important! Don't just grab the 1st edition from Bookshare - about
50% of the content was revised, reorganized and improved for the
2nd edition.
Magazine Review detailing the contents:
http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/oct03/articles/bobkatz.htm
I believe that's a review of the 1st edition.
2. Look for mastering forums online where knowledgeable
professionals congregate and share information, not just
hobbyists. There probably isn't an area where more voodoo and
plain wrong information gets propagated than mastering. OH, except
for audiophile marketing, sellers of speaker cables selling
thousands of dollars.
Two sites to check out are:
www.digido.com/ -
(Bob Katz's site, containing articles, a user forum, a list of
excellent-sounding albums in various genres, etc.)
and
Brad Blackwood's mastering forum:
http://recforums.prosoundweb.com/index.php/f/31/0/
Be very wary of forums like the mastering forum at Gear Sluts, or
the one at www.homerecording.com.
Great for beginners, but you have to waid through the mirky flood
of misinformation, flame wars, bickering, etc.
