Amazing, clean sounding chain. Thank you

[@Six2Nine]

Bro you got it. Nice how you enhance the lowend and punch without distortion!

[@sageaudio]

Thanks! Great to hear the final sound came out right. I appreciate you watching! SageAudio.com

[@Six2Nine]

@@sageaudio maybe you could make a mixing tutorial from the scratch? A full song. I think it will go down well with us.

[@Trem.official]

Reall well done and really good explanation. Is there any alternative we can use for weiss maximizer?

[@sageaudio]

Thanks for watching glad to hear you enjoyed it! Oxford Inflator or Waves MV2 would be good alternatives if used at lower levels. SageAudio.com

[@thehowards6183]

I wonder what mic & interface this was recorded also how it was mixed it’s nice and clear

[@sageaudio]

Thanks for watching! You mean the track's vocals?

[@nashse7en]

The first 6 lugins before the bux the ones inside (RAP mix) they are all inside the Master channel ? AND in the Pro L2 did you used oversampling?

[@prod.brooda]

Great video Sage, are there any alternative plugins to the transient shaper you guys used in the high frequency bus part of the video

[@sageaudio]

Thanks for watching glad you enjoyed the video! Techivation makes a good free transient shaper. SageAudio.com

[@HejHello-ip3dn]

Thanks for your great videos. Can you please make a video on how to mix and master Lo-fi?

[@sageaudio]

Thank you for the suggestion! I think I could do this! I have some topics to cover first, so it may be a little while.

[@billpodolak7754]

Do you ever use Ozone in your mastering chains? A lot of the new features in Ozone 10 are really good

[@sageaudio]

I've tried it but usually stick with other plugins - I do like their RX processor though. Thanks for watching! SageAudio.com

[@scaredcrow7705]

Really helps man can you do it with. Free plugins??

[@jayninety5172]

Song name and artist? I'm bumping my head RN.

[@cyborglulaby]

can u reseach plug-in with 0 Plug-In Delay Compensation? for Live Streaming mixing.

[@sageaudio]

If you look up zero-latency plugins you should be able to find what you need. I know PSP Audioware makes some that are zero latency with this infini-strip plugin. SageAudio.com

[@Slugxthalickman]

Hey Sage! Is there an alternative to the sonnox limiter? That's the only missing piece Esp because of the enhance function

[@sageaudio]

Thanks for watching! I'd say combine OTT at subtle settings with Limiter No. 6. That should create a somewhat similar sound.

[@yanx447]

Hmm where i can get that EQ?

[@flamersss]

If we sign up for the website, is it actual people on your team who will be mastering our music in treated rooms or is it just a AI thing you run it through? No hate lm just honestly curious.

[@sageaudio]

Actual people!

[@Criomancer200]

Why you didnt use Glue Compression? 🤔 And if so, where would you put it? (i mean, after which process)

[@sageaudio]

I like to use maximization or upward processing instead - instead of blending the transients together, like with glue or slow bus compression, I like to keep those intact to retain the timing and transient detail, and instead increase lower levels of the signal. Sounds a little better to my ear! SageAudio.com

[@Criomancer200]

@@sageaudio Have you tried glueing and use the mix knob at 50% with a glue compressor? I think that would give you similar effect when trying to preserve the transients of the mix, I havent tried that yet, but im gonna see what happens 🧐 thx for your response!

[@jrm_music7229]

I feel glue compression in my mixes, doesn't preserve the transient detail..

[@nimrodpascal8362]

Can you create one with ableton stock plugins

[@sageaudio]

Thanks for watching and making a suggestion! We might do this in the future! SageAudio.com

[@LJ-ie8wj]

Any vocal templates at all or presets please I love watching all videos

[@sageaudio]

Thanks for watching! We might release some in the future. SageAudio.com

[@LJ-ie8wj]

@@sageaudio thanks would love to buy a template defo hope it happens in near future.

Can you please make a free mastering chain for hip hop?

[@sageaudio]

Thanks for the suggestion! SageAudio.com

[@davidyoku]

Hi, I sent you an email to join the membership program!

[@jrm_music7229]

So just to be clear, you're mastering the full track and not touching any of the mixer tracks/stems?
