Hi Cris thanks for all the info and links. By all the links I gather
you are a big fan of sound on sound, well I basically live by their
articles and reviews absolutly love it. Oh and I've heard a lot about
Bob Cats and his mastering books so will definatly get it ASAP, as for
stereo imiging M-S etc. I know a lot about it I actually studied sound
engineering and music production so the only bit I still need is the
experience but that comes with time I guess.
