Great vid. Very clear! You can clearly hear the difference. Love it. After hearing the examples, I would've liked you to expand on how you go about finding the musical release time. What's the process? What are you listening for? Should the release be fully back to zero by the time the kick or snare hits again? Or should it be still releasing slightly? I'd love to see a video where you go through 4 different song examples and choose a release time for them all on the fly in real time, and just talk us through what you're listening for and what made you choose it Cheers! This is definitely one of the best mastering channels out there. Definitely deserves more views

Really like this format of video with the examples and the giving the viewer time to figure it out first. Good learning method. Well done!

Great video!

Part 3?

This is the first explanation and demonstration I have found of what determines the dots (sample point) positions and thus what the meter display actually means. Must have seen 20 videos and webpages up to this point, all generally leaving it at 'if the blob isn't horizontal, you're good'. One piece o f information the other videos invariably leave out is what determines the distance of the dot from the centre of the scope (answer: input level/volume). This video actually shows that, by showing the moving dot in slow motion and being able to see the input signal.

Hi there - new sub here 🙂 A quick question please... I've heard many mastering engineers say that they use 2 limiters when mastering to 'distribute the load'. If Limitless is 2 x limiters in one, does that eliminate the need for an extra compressor? Thanks.

The only chain that works is a correction curve for the headphone model followed by a harman kardon curve equalization for the headphone and then can opener. Happy new year. 🎉

Simple and great! Will be waiting for this to work on ProTools.

This plugin is brilliant. It's gonna be on my Reaper for sure!

Hi, just letting you know that the Form (for the demo) on the Website doesn't work for Firefox users. Safari is fine though. Good stuff! Thanks!

We listened to your feedback over the years and decided to make this plugin into a VST3. It’s the kind of thing that if you need it, you need it. For many of you though this video will just be an insight into the world of custom made software for mastering. Back in the day we used to do hardware modifications but nowadays it’s actually done in the box most of it. ⭐ 💚 Thomas and Sofia

Awesome!

TDR are so underrated like WHAT

Very useful, thanks

Nice work and explanation Sofia

That was exactly what I wanted to find from my Google search on this plug in. Well done sir.

a few weeks later I listen to this video again .. 1) my opinion on compression has changed 2) I hear the differences better 3) often my previous mixes had this type of error ... and I didn't like the result without knowing why !!!! So what else can I say? thank you Sofia and Thomas it's a real pleasure to have crossed your virtual path. from France

Lol. While comparing i noticed only slight change of loudness, and wanted to ask - what's the difference? And later i got i was right on that. Just mixing experience 😂

Hi , Uad la2 plugin is adding harmonics with the output knob ;-)

Amazing video! Question, did you Paul Stretch the features track to make the background ambience?

thank you!

Solid video bud 👌

Great examples. Nice demo.

Is there a plugin that can measure the signal-to-noise ratio?

Thanks ! , that dither thing is !!!! woah !

Intersting facts ! <3

Hi Thomas! Very nice video it helped me a lot to learn about gain staging in the Mastering Process! However there is one thing that im still confusing about.. You said in 9:30 - 9:35 that analog modeled plugins sound at their best at -18 LUFS... Now the question.. Is -18 LUFS the same as -18 dbfs ? Because whenever I watch a video about VU Meters in combination with Gain Staging people mention always DBFS instead of LUFS ... so that makes me confused .. Can you clear me up please... Big Like given to your Video ... Greetings from Luxembourg to you and Sofia!!

Oh always get excited when you two release a video.

I spent a year trying to understand this by experimenting and listening to professional mixes, but you just clarified it so nicely, so I really got one of those aha experiences! Thanks!

hello ...The swelling is for me , the most difficult thing to hear . Why ? is it because this artifact is more subtle? I don't know, but there is some listening work to adjust. Thank you Sofia.

What tool are you using to generate the line graph of loudness over time? Seems like an extremely helpful utility for study. Thank you!

Is 'swelling' just a type of 'pumping' or 'breathing'?

i recently hear a lady gaga song and jesus christ it has no dinamics at all, the loudness war needs a comeback

Wonderful examples thank you very much 🌻

This is the first time I have heard about threshold automation for the compressor, That's an Interesting idea.

Came here for the knowledge, stayed for the Swedish accent. JK. Great explanation and demonstration

Thank you so much! Very well explained.

Good video

I was here before the algorithm 😂

Very helpful and good clear examples. 👍
