Craig Anderton and Mastering in Studio One - PreSonus - NAMM 2012

[@presonus]

Thank you! We're stronger with Craig in our corner, glad you liked his presentation! Let us know how your efforts in mastering proceed!

[@presonus]

You're very welcome. We have more on the way!

[@GregRband]

This was an amazing half hour of Craig info and shares! Wow! I want more of this stuff!

[@ortopilot]

great video, thanks for posting!

[@presonus]

Mastering functionality is included in Studio One Professional. Check in with Steinberg for info on Cubase. Thanks!

[@presonus]

@ablackentertainment You're very welcome!

[@presonus]

Glad to hear it! There is more where that came from. :)

[@presonus]

Yes!

[@sonora8977]

outstanding, inspiring and hugely informative!

[@StarJFemaleProducer]

GEEZE This helped me so much man thanks

[@GroverLee]

Very good! Been aware of Craig for many a year. Great communicator and all points very useful! Thanks especially for the 'dual compressors' info and for the great analogies like 'pure lead not faux gold'! It's tempting to reach out and grab the 'mastering' effects on the master out during tracking. I've been a bad boy, but haven't reached the mastering process yet, so there is hope still..haha. Peace.

[@MajikMuzq]

Thanks for sharing wow I knew you could fix it in mastering! So many swear otherwise.....but I was one of your clients with a bad mix turned great master thanks!

[@sinodanadroj]

definitely made me rethink how many effects should be put on the front end of production...

[@scottfishkind5335]

This was incredible Craig!

[@aboemusic]

Great lecture. Fun and informative. Thanks for sharing.

[@coolblues14]

Craig that was bad ass! That helped me a lot-thank you!

[@dannyd1224]

This is getting me excited :)

[@18TMA]

thank you for all of videos :) realy helps ...

[@TripleBProduktionz]

beautiful!

[@incaroads001]

Craig, you're great. I love that "fake gold" thing. And I also love your book on guitar effects (which I acquired from my cousin many years ago). But I just have to say that I always mix into a buss compressor right from the start. I level everything to get a reasonable approximation and then put an SSL type plug-in across the stereo buss that just kisses the output. I'm pretty sure that I'm doing a good job. The results are good. Am I wrong?

[@PaulBell88]

+incaroads Just mix with it but don't print to the track you send for mastering, that way you get an idea of how your mix will sound after mastering without sending the engineer something he can't work with.

[@troygutrick9220]

That was awesome!

[@osagie2]

Thanx Craig ! Regards from Switzerland !😉

[@jerrypalmer3534]

Great video !

[@18TMA]

[@eisenworld1]

Hello Sir I just have a problem with Studio One 3 it keep freezing my page can you help me with this.... thanks!

[@rahim4411]

great video

[@rolandlemus203]

QUESTION: Does the Presonus $99.00 version have the equalizer and compression options on them? I may have missed it, but I am a pure novice, but experienced musician, Just need to know if that is something I would have to add on or buy later? I think this demo is pretty awesome, thanks so much for sharing your expertise! Thanks!

[@presonus]

+Roland Lemus Yes, look up Pro EQ and Compressor in the Effects section. :)

[@rolandlemus203]

Thanks, I appreciate the response, I was listening then played this back, and saw that, but hey, I was so in to your session there, and learning a huge amount there, it's like so much info, and such a cool application, I cannot wait to get this and start recording. I appreciate you all putting that together for us newbies! Happy holidays!!

[@rolandlemus203]

Ok, listening through this a second round, why are there options for higher compression if that is too harsh, and the lighter application of compression is the way to go? When would it be better to have options for a higher compression? Just trying to understand, thanks,

[@kevinreddoch5214]

+Roland Lemus Compression can also be used as an effect to create pumping or distortion so they make it very versatile. I personally love using crazy compression on drum rooms to create that larger than life drum sound. :)

[@rolandlemus203]

I see, well, that makes sense, thanks for sharing!

[@presonus]

Hey Dazi! The Project page, for mastering, is included in Studio One Professional. What's your second question?

[@kbjrecords7010]

Excellent work on this vid. You got skills. Let me know when you upload fresh vids, maybe we can help someway.

[@kehindea]

Craig hit the reasons for mastering on the head! and he shattered the vinyl fanboys myths.

[@benliftss]

Is the Mastering function in Presonus in Studio artist?

[@presonus]

+benjamen campos No, it's in the Professional version.

[@kevinreddoch5214]

+benjamen campos Well the mastering page is only available in S1Pro, but any of the S1 versions can still be used to master your tracks...Just export a stereo mix and open it in a new project. There you have Pro Eq, Compressor, Limiter, Binaural pan available. So the "Mastering function" is available, just not as convenient if you have change something in the mix and it's harder to arrange songs for an album, but from a track to track perspective you have the same tools. :)

[@benliftss]

Kevin Reddoch Awesome thanks for that. So if i would be working on a album would it be best to buy S1Pro. But if i wanted to just do a song and put out for fans i could just follow the steps you provided.

[@kevinreddoch5214]

Ya. Honestly I do albums with S1v2 Producer. So I just use separate tracks from each song of the project I'm arranging then move them to where they need to be. You just have to set the loop around each song then export it that way. Takes quite a bit more time though, but if you have any songs that fade fade together or anything like then this is the way to go. So really if I was working on tons of full length albums and having to correct mixes and stuff for mastering then S1pro would pay for itself with the time I'd save. :)

[@roniii2743]

Do all these plugins come standard with Studio One? Do similar plugins exist in Cubase?

[@askewdale]

Very, very good...

[@katentu]

Thank's a lot.

[@presonus]

hi!

[@viper2918]

i have two questions. (1) can i master a recording with the free version of studio one.

[@AAhmed-wt3lk]

Nice Video

[@benliftss]

Does presonus pro. Come with the full version of melody me?

[@responsibleparty]

I was a little confused by this. Isn't mastering the process of producing a stereo track from the multi-track, which includes everything he talked about here as well as mixing? But he seems to talk as though it only refers to post production on the stereo track. I saw some great tips for working with the stereo track here, but it felt like that would've made a little more sense in the context of mixing the tracks in Studio One.

[@TWEAKER01]

Better still: give your professional mastering engineer gold and they'll make it shine. If you're not already REALLY HAPPY with your mix(es) after mixing, your project isn't ready for mastering. - Mastering Engineer

[@ike7240]

@presonusaudio I am a nigerian. I use studio one 2.I live in spain and make african music. Please could you just listen to songs called J.MARTIN IVA ,J.MARTIN OYOYO or J.MARTIN GOOD OR BAD and tell me the type of effect used for the masterings?. Thanks

[@18TMA]

thanks :)

[@Itsklops]

thinking about presonus firestudio with guitar in stereo..can I hear effects on both 1 and 2 channels but record them dry at the same time??? also can I copy and paste effects instantly ..to use the same effect on the 2 channels..so I dont have to worry about them being off? thanks...the klops

[@BOTPlayingBlackOPS6]

[@hoollupcondom7329]
