Scott Andrew - lo-fi acoustic pop superhero!

During the panel entited “Producers and Their Process,” producer John Fields (he’s worked with Glen Phillips and Andrew W.K.) shared a secret about mastering from desktop computers: “I burn 24-bit AIFFs to CDR and send them to the mastering house. But here’s a tip: do download T-Rex by Audio Ease, and your life will be changed.”

He didn’t elaborate, and unfortunately I had to leave the panel before I could get a card from him. A Google search has turned up little except the Audio Ease site, which doesn’t proclaim to carry a such a product. So if anyone out there knows what this beastie is (a plug-in? A mastering app? what, WHAT?), please enlighten me and I’ll post it here.

UPDATE: Behold the power of the Web; Jon Gilkison at interfacelab pointed me to T-RackS, a package of software for mastering digital audio. That must have been what Fields was referring to.
