An X3-based video on mastering would certainly be welcome! Please include a chapter on mastering specifically for maximizing the sound quality of MP3 files.

Hi Mr. Anderton,
 
I think that a mastering video is an excellent idea. Not so much to take away from the Engineers that do it but to give us the basis for a clearer understanding of the process so that we as enthusiast can make better decisions both musically and technically .  This will also help us to be better cleints to the ME in the process. 
 
I would like to add that if possible to preface the video with a short section on some tips on achieving a good mix "balance" prior to mastering. This for me is an important (if not the most important) aspect to starting the Mastering process off in a position for a successful and productive experience, especially for budding and growing enthusiasts. Thanks.

A Sonar X3c Mastering video, using the Sonar toolset, is an Excellent idea. Please, take an entire song and show everything involved in mastering it.
Can't wait!
 
Kind regards,
Rick

Show us:
  1. how to set the frequency range of a multiband compressor like the LP64. 
  2. common mistakes of mastering so that we know what not to do. (The tutorials I've learned best from, music or 3D, is better when mistakes by the presenter are shown. It's good to know workarounds.)
  3. different styles or music. For example a guitar based rock/metal music and something else like EDM.
  4. Setting vocals in the mix / When not actually recording a live band (single person records all parts) how to blend DI instruments together.

Great idea, I've always wanted to master Mastering...or even be a bit more knowledgeable about it. Please proceed post haste.

From your earlier videos I particularly like unusual or 'out of the box' type engineering tricks 'n' tips.
 
e.g. ethereal reverb, mock stereo acoustic guitar, that kind of thing.
 
For myself, I'd like to see some more guitar-related content.
 
As mastering is something that's very specific to the piece of music in question (and how it's been mixed), as well as requiring a particular listening environment and good, experienced ears, I'm not sure how much can be taught/learnt from a video. 
 
Having said that I like all your videos so would buy another whatever the content :-)

Might I suggest that you take paid pre-orders, or perhaps even better, lets set up a "crowd funding" project. Your time is valuable and I would not like to see it spent on a project based on promises and wind
 
While I have no doubt as to the sincerity of posters,  when it comes to actually paying - suddenly the enthusiasm dries up
