Question About Mastering

[srigby]

When a Greatest Hits album such as the Eagles or Elton john is mastered, are the tracks mastered from each individual albums master tape or is there a master greatest hits tape that already has all the songs on it?

From the individual tapes if Steve has done it. The other way the rest of the time. He goes to trouble for us and we appreciate it.

Beat me to it. Thanks, Pinknik!
