Best Reason Mastering Template + Tips on How to Master in Reason

[@mwhitelow9312]

Thanks man. I’ve used your last mixing template and was very pleased. I will definitely check it out.

[@StockMusicMusician]

So glad to hear! Hope you enjoy this one as much!

[@armi2n]

Hi, thanks for this video. Would you also recommend mastering directly in your project file? I think that mastering in the project file can be beneficial to make fixes to mix in the same file.

[@StockMusicMusician]

I think the best way to get better is by exporting project file stems. Then mixing them. If it sucks, then you know you need to work harder on sound design & arrangement. Same goes for mastering. Over time you'll get better at mixing if you're locked in.

[@arkystarch]

Thanks!! Just downloaded the template and am curious about the results, first watching the video ;) I am a composer and love to edit but always paid a professional mastering engineer, now I am competing in a remix contest and my engr. is in the jury lol so i was stuck so really hope this video will help me to achieve a proper master.

[@StockMusicMusician]

Enjoy!

@@StockMusicMusician it was a big help&joy; and will be looking into Ozone, cheers!!!

[@breakfreak9238]

That's what I was in need for! Thanks for sharing man

You’re welcome!

[@thomasdietz579]

it is really hard to see what yoy are doing in the video :-) But is it not possible to just but the different thing on the audio channel that has the audio file on it ?

[@firealllasers]

Download link doesnt work, it asked for my information then takes me to a solicitation page that doesnt have a download link for the template...

[@sbalbarbinthereal]

Great video, big thanx. I have a question regarding this template (very cool to be using stuff only included in Reason). If I buy Ozone Elements 10, what does it include and what could/should (that you recommend) it replace, say, in your template? Everything, or just the Maximiser? What I mean is, if I remember well, you said it's better than MClass, but would the rest of stuff in Elements be also better than the rest of your template? (I'm in Reason 12, I think Ozone 10 Standard would not work in Reason, right? VST3 I believe?)

[@StockMusicMusician]

Reason 12 now supports VST3 so Ozone Standard works great. I would replace everything with Ozone. I honestly do not at all recommend mastering in Reason with stock plugins, if you can afford not too, and since you're going to master EVERY song you make, I feel like Ozone is about the best investment you can make in plugins. I'd also recommend grabbing Ozone Standard over Elements, as it just includes so much more. It looks like it's actually on sale for 50% off right now bit.ly/GrabOzone (affiliate link).

[@JermaineLowden]

Is this song that you’re mastering sent through the mastering device with it bypassed before you import it

[@StockMusicMusician]

Yes! The only processing I have on it is the mixer's buss compressor (and it's fully mixed). Then export the raw audio file and do all the "master section" stuff in the template.

Awesome! I have a Question: Is there a way I can sing a Melody and Midi it through the Keyboard as a Piano Sound without loosing Time/Speed? Jey-9

[@StockMusicMusician]

Not that I know of Jey9, but I can’t sing to save my life, so I haven’t looked too hard!

[@terrestrialgoldfish2700]

Would you say that mastering for vinyl an option in Reason?

[@StockMusicMusician]

Frankly, I don't know anything about mastering for vinyl, as it's a totally different beast with very real physical limitations. I would feel comfortable saying that it is impossible to get a good vinyl master in Reason with the stock plugins, though. If I wanted to release something on vinyl, I would actually hire a mastering engineer to do it, because if you mess it up, all of the vinyl copies you had purchase will be busted, and you'll be out a lot of money.

[@terrestrialgoldfish2700]

@@StockMusicMusician Thank you for the honest answer. Once again.

Cool workflow, thanks for sharing!

You're welcome Chris!

[@thomasdietz579]

Hey I am new to Reason :-) I have 11 Suite and I love it, but this template is it something you loade into Reason or ? Because I thought it was a pdf file

[@StockMusicMusician]

It's something you load into Reason Thomas, it's what I'm using in the video.

[@neovincibeats]

where does the template go after i put in my email

[@StockMusicMusician]

You'll get an email with it. Be sure to check your spam folder.

[@THEBYRDGANG]

Downloaded it but it says the download has a bad format

[@StockMusicMusician]

It only works with Reason 11 & 12. Are you using an early version?

[@THEBYRDGANG]

Nope reason 12

[@Arsyde_]

Never really comment. That being said, this video described what I need right now. I have not watched the video but once I finish it I will say if its useful. or not.

[@StockMusicMusician]

Hope you like it Ivan! And thanks for taking the time to comment!

[@roy4286]

DOES THE TEMPLATE WORK WITH REASON 11 TNRO VERSION? .

[@StockMusicMusician]

It should! A few of the devices might not be available, but by and large it will.

[@allen394]

I would say that your commentary would be way clearer, if you dropped the music level while you are making what are important points.

[@StockMusicMusician]

Great point Allen!

[@AsbelArenas]

I went to the link in hopes to find out the Reason Mastering Template you've offered for free and could not find it. Help!

[@StockMusicMusician]

Did you check your email for the download link?

[@tollgateshindigs7088]

Great video! Thankyou :)

[@StockMusicMusician]

Thank you too!

[@mattwoodman3017]

thanks for this video! So, at the moment i know nothing about mastering,,so the first step to Master is to Bounce or export the song(after the mix) and bring it back into Reason as one audio track? and you are ready to master from that point? How does the Bounced Audio track(the song) enter the Master section? Thank you!

[@StockMusicMusician]

Hi Matt! Everything in Reason goes through the master section, so you’re the point of bouncing is to commit to the sound and free up CPU resources. If you want to learn more about mastering, I’m actually doing a free live mastering workshop next week. You can find out more at stockmusicmusician.com

Hey, I clicked the download the template link, and it took me to a page asking for my name and email. I entered that, then received an email asking me to confirm subscription. NO PROMISED TEMPLATE TO DOWNLOAD. RIP OFF!!!!!

How do you master in Reason?

[@teoigi3247]

I'll be mastering for the first time this weekend. 7 weeks into making music and I am trying out Reason 11. Thank you for the wonderful content, hopefully I'll share it with you.

[@tomfiorini1664]

So where is the mastering template download????? All I see is your constant sales pitch...

[@StockMusicMusician]

Sorry about that Tom, it should have been automatically emailed to you, so check your spam folder. If it's not there, just reply to one of my emails and I'll send you a copy.

[@JermaineLowden]

You can’t see what you’re doing because your camera video is covering the mixer channels

[@StockMusicMusician]

Sorry Jermaine! It's only for the first couple minutes, thankfully.

[@hfranke07]

@@StockMusicMusician I would say drop the pip of you talking. We know how you look,- great by the way..... so make the talking head in the start and leave it out when you start showing the stuff. And thank you for this awesome mastering setup..... I love it.

[@hfranke07]

@@StockMusicMusician Make a new video, please. I will take you 5 minuttes to move the pip.

[@christianyellic3394]

I’m on 12 atm. I’m guessing it works even though it says for 11 given the tutorial was made before 12 was released. Apologies for the obvious question 😂

[@StockMusicMusician]

Yep, works with 12!

BEST WAY TO MASTER A FULL ALBUM IN REASON?

[@StockMusicMusician]

There's not a great way to do this. I'd semi-master each track using the mastering template, with the aim of them all sound good individually and really focusing on having them be the same volume. Then I'd bounce those semi-masters out and upload all of them into a new version of the mastering template. Then lay final bounces of all the songs the songs on their own channel, end to end. Then route each of them through the mastering template and try to make them all sound good together.

[@soundsfromYYBY]

@@StockMusicMusician right in S1 you can master a full album

[@ericinboden2430]

You don't need PIP...

Total scam or I'm just stupid. The link brings you to what you think is a download link. It subscribes you and sends you to a new page with loads of text and finally a payment subscription. I can not find the free template anywhere...no worries though. Your music kinda sucks

[@perothing]

Meh... I've got Reason 10 only.

[@StockMusicMusician]

You could recreate most of this template using Reason 10, except for the bus compressor.
