[@LiMCRiMZ]

Holy snap he said it so naturally I didn't even hear it until I saw this comment. That's some insane subliminal messaging 😂

[@u4ikmusic229]

Very smooth with it lol

[@evocky6763]

I was mixing, listening on my monitors and I went to my earbuds and it sounded way different! Make sure to check on different systems as Jonas said!

[@AdenFoyer]

Niice, its very important!

[@kssthmn]

i think it's also nice to mention some psychology tricks with EQ. I know it was a basic video but here's for some intermediate guys. you'll find (especially in a lot of dubstep/melodic dubstep), boosting around 3.5-8kHz a dB or 2, can help make your track seem 'louder'. why? around that area is a naturally 'annoying' (i prefer the term sensitive) range of frequencies to the human ear, apparently baby screams and cries are around that area. be careful though!! this is easily overdone because of how sensitive that frequency range is, and can make your track just sound piercing. but it can really help brighten up the track and give a super 'loud' master

[@ryanfrost1761]

Ive only been producing for 4 months and after watching this its really going to help on an future house track I have in the works! Thanks for keeping it so straight forward and informative at the same time!

[@AdenFoyer]

[@bwretrocords]

This is pure gold man !!! I've been trying to learn mastering for a very long time and it always confused me a lot. Thank you for breaking it simple. ♥️

[@elect9601]

Jonas, you are amazing at explaining everything in such a simple way making it super easy to understand! I'm working on getting my mixing down and I love all the small tricks you explain in your track creation videos. They make a small but important twist. Looking forward to your next video!

[@yoiboi8515]

8:21 transition was crazy! 😏

[@Skrenja]

Your channel is a hidden gem. Way better than the rest of these charlatan producers youtube is flooded with.

[@xer5481]

My question: which is the most important error you've done in the past that makes you think "i was doing bad mixes because of that"?

[@kingbingbong1920]

one thing i remember was mixing the kick too loudly thinking it was good because it “hit hard.” balance your kicks because loudness doesn’t equal a quality mix.

[@-YX9]

@@kingbingbong1920 thankss

[@ClebinMusic]

Yes, and compress the kick to balance it so it still hits harder but with less volume peaks but don't over compress ofc

[@-YX9]

@@ClebinMusic what plugins do I compressed it with?

[@miscellaneous1276]

Disable the limiter from the Master! And make sure your mix is peaking at -6

[@matheusferreira.youtube]

This is pretty much the BEST tut on Mastering, not only this but all your videos!

[@elionohra568]

Omg yess I wish that every producer was like you, you make music and make people enjoy it and you care about other producers and teach them so you have a connection with the audience and that's why I love your songs and learn more in every video

[@AdenFoyer]

Wow I appreciate that so much

[@Andrreo]

You’re tutorials and walkthroughs are so freaking good and on point, wish you could stick to this kind of videos forever!! It will be truly amazing if i would get a master from you

[@AdenFoyer]

Thankyou

[@jrogofficial]

Simple and transparent guide with very good info! I find "Unity gain monitoring" in the Invisible Limiter to be a very handy tool to objectively hear how much gain is too much. As an added bonus, once you dial the gain setting in, then turn the unity off, it will be a lot louder! 😀

[@mackenziecollins318]

I have introduced your channel to all my friends who us fl, it has changed my ability drastically, than you so much

[@domwujek8900]

Your vids very informative Im gonna dig this channel. You have a good balance of attention to detail and going straight to the point. Well done man!

[@andreaslychee]

The invisible limiter fucking slaps! I'm loving how it sounds, and thank you Jonas for helping me discover it's power! I'm off to make beautiful music!!!

[@jonesy_b]

Alll you're videos are so useful!! I learned so Much from you!!

[@sinwithsebastian]

i love that you don´t cut out every little mistake - and breathing like other youtubers - i enjoy your channel

[@arnelis513]

Great video, Jonas! Everybody is talking about checking a mix on other speakers, in the car and so on. And recently I discovered that altough my mix sounds very clean on my gear it can sound too much in your face on airpods for example. So my point is that fat basslines and punchy drums are good and pretty, sometimes you can push it a little too much because earbuds tends to have narrow soundstage

[@YippieKaey]

Im not the biggest EDM fan out there, but im drooling over your studio design. You´re a lucky man:)

[@mobbelmo]

Q & A: 1. Did you suffer from mental illness like Depression and if so, how do you overcome it? I noticed that this is an up and coming problem in the Music Business. 2. Whats your dream collaboration? (Not EDM!) Thank you for everything Jonas, learned a lot today.

What's your best mixing tip? How to know if sound needs compression? How to know if your samples are pro-sounding? Do you have days with lack of motivation (how often)? Love your vids, keep up the great work! Cant wait for Blackbird btw

Q&A Question: When mixing your tracks, is there any specific tool you use in all your tracks which really helps make the mix solid and clean it up? For example, I know a few artists who use OTT a lot throughout to help clean up their mix

[@AdenFoyer]

Appreciated man

[@thefootballfanaccount]

I've been using online mastering services on all my tracks now and have found that the masters either come out too quite or loud and distorted. I've found this tutorial just so helpful as I really want to start mastering my own tracks but find mastering quite intimidating! But this video has really helped! As a producer who is just starting out mastering, what is a common fault beginners do (maybe from your own experience) which is easily avoidable?

[@AdenFoyer]

Thats awesome to hear

[@christianuvaag9403]

Love this

[@by_antony]

Great video, Jonas. You invited questions from the start. My question is how do you know which elements of a track should be 'compressed', which elements should be 'widened', 'maximised' etc? I can see these mastering effects in my DAW, but I am inteterested to learn from you which elements of a track need which 'effects'?

[@blairarbouin1444]

Hell yeah, thanks for the content! Keep it up

Q&A: with which artist do you wanna collab and who do you look up to?

[@JQMusic5]

Wow what a gorgeous studio

[@HansJrgenAssmann]

First and foremost, thank you for a thorough mastering walk-trough. Q: - Would you recommend mastering with a multiband compressor, e.g. the compressor on Ozone iZotope 5? - Why didn't you normalize the track prior to the mastering? Cheers from Kristiansand! Oh, and I have a country/folk/house-ish track I'd really want you to master🙌🙌🙌

[@AdenFoyer]

Why would I normalize the track? :o

[@DayeanT]

since when you start producing and what/who the most inspired you to start producing?

[@VARGENTA]

Love these vlogs!

[@AdenFoyer]

[@daviddominguez6533]

Amazing video as always Jonas! Every time I finish watching these videos, they make me run into my room and work on some music! Thanks for the inspiration. Now one question: When you master a track, do you master a WAV. rendered version of it and do you put a limiter on the master track for the initial project before you master it?

[@AdenFoyer]

Makes me so happy to hear!!

[@mikesaintjulesmusic]

Nice techniques here. I will give this a go. Interesting about using two limiters. Essentially one on the channel where the track is, and then the one on the master to push the input. I didn't see the master fader go up at the end to really hear the result, but I assume that's what you'd do obviously. The volume scooping out just before the drop is also a good idea. Around -3db would be good in the automation. I will try this for sure.

[@MP3RMusic]

Most helpful tutorial on KZbin!

[@jobetv2588]

Dude you have an awesome looking studio. Would be my dream to get one like that one day :)

I don’t know if you already talked in a video, about the merging tool in the mixing tab, in FL Studio, I don’t know if a lot of people know it. I use it almost every time, it makes the sound more homogeneous, depending if you want it in mono or stereo but I ALWAYS choose mono, it’s recommended 😁

Hey Jonas - just recently discovered your page and its pretty damn good, really put some more spice into my production. But; i tend to find my mixes kinda boring and not "puming"( - eventhough i use a desired amount of side chain), sparkling or just really great (i guess). perhaps you could put together a video on this subject? also i would really love a master done by you

[@llvs1630]

A question I have for you is why did you start producing in the first place? Was it a musical ability you had, or you felt like you wanted more of a specific type of music out for yourself to enjoy, or what? Also when did you start out with this kind of stuff?
