Unless you master about 3 albums a month, I can't imagine wanting to do the tagging in a 3rd party app for all the files/formats for every project.Īssembling the the master in a mastering DAW that can essentially tag the rendered/exported files with the info it already has inside the DAW for any and all files saves times, and promotes accuracy and consistency.To be totally honest, and this may sound crazy, in 26 years of mastering this is the first time I'm tagging files! All my clients have been letting their aggregators and distributors handle the metadata.
