[@shawnsteven1869]

thank you! helps a lot, i soft clip before the L2007 but i clip up? and also after it i clip into the L2 with a 10ms attack, have to try this out, i know i’m crushing some of the dynamics on some songs

[@ALIMU]

Can't freaking wait 😤 omgg I wanna get better at Mastering frr this gon be crazyy

[@hellobrowizard101]

Lol

[@happychaudhary]

amazing master bt i'm still confused does i need to master in a same mixing project or i hve to export mixed trck then i hve to master in another projct

[@ibrahim47x]

Is the True Peak function not good in FabFilter Pro-L2 period? or if we used two instances of it, one for pushing gain then a final one with just True Peak limiting, then it would sound as good as TDR’s True Peak function?

[@chillingFriend]

You don't even need two instances. You can perfectly do both with one pro l2

[@RugiatuBangura-h5v]

Please let me understand block size and which one i should use for long time processing in Studio One

[@julianacosta5936]

So is he limiting in 2 stages? First a light limit just to catch large peaks, but still leave a lot of dynamics. Then, he does his compression and stuff. Then the 2nd limiter, which is more aggressive that pushes the volume?

[@ReidStefanMusic]

yes exactly the clipper is doing much less than the limiter

[@julianacosta5936]

@@ReidStefanMusic You the man Reid! This guy Luca is the real deal

[@chrisyoung9742]

@@ReidStefanMusic I don't quite understand the difference between the clipper and the limiter. does it not both cut off from a certain level?

[@scacchomattho]

Limiting is compression, it lowers volume. Clipping cuts the waveform

[@ChuckSilva]

Thanks for not posting TikTok.....

[@ReidStefanMusic]

The Tik Toks ain’t stopping even tho long videos are back 👍🏻

[@VibeMusicRo]

After the final result will you print or bounced track? If u are use plugin in oversampling and your CUP is "kill", how to you deal this situation ?

[@ReidStefanMusic]

You should always be able to do an offline bounce if your CPU is overloaded. It will just go slowly

[@VibeMusicRo]

@@ReidStefanMusic Thank u for answer

[@InaktiverUser]

hi, i bought whole loops bundle and asked the support if that works with adobe auduition 2020, never received an answer, can u tell me if that works ?! pls

[@firerhyme]

Man ! Adobe audition can be used for casual music making like very basic but if you want to grow big and make yoir own loops and stuffs, then use ableton or fl studio or (logic x , if you are on mac)

@@firerhyme in fl studio i cant record that easy its more for beats, ableton i dont have and adobe audition is enough for my little home producrtions

[@samhk1233]

Awesome! Thanks!

[@masada12]

Spotify recommends -1 dB True Peak as well, right? I am confused about the limiting

[@daredevill0407]

Yeah it does, as a general rule of thumb for streaming services just set your true peak to -1

[@studiomilo]

To be honest I find it difficult to fully imagine clipping - a sort of limiting - followed by expansion - followed by more clipping ! Try it I guess but it seems and odd 'pull push' kind of scheme ! Thanx anyhow.

[@thisisDeus]

He is controlling the whole mix so he can expanding what the parts of the song speak to him then sealing it off

[@joneslego3645]

it's like dessing vocals in multiple stages and brighting it up later after compression, control then color to taste

[@mateusreis7978]

What about dither?

[@ThomasPrimeCCR]

I was thinking the same thing, did you ever get to the bottom of it?

[@alexptvz1076]

Don't you think it was too much? Overcompressed

[@gomesdiogo]

Lucca is known for doing a great job mastering loud while still retaining feeling of dynamics, what this means is probably most of his clients come to him with loud references in this case, he hits -5 lufs, which might have been a request I have seen videos of pure big room where he gets to -3 For me personally, for what I like to hear and see labels that I wanna see my tracks released on (dance floor oriented), -7 is a good number, loud enough to hit hard live on CDJs and still not over limited.

[@gomesdiogo]

The thing here is, we are seeing a workflow that allows you to get to -5 or even more, if you learn this, you can get to -7, -8 in a very nice way.

[@alexptvz1076]

@@gomesdiogo yeah, I got it, there was a request but anyway more loudness means less dynamics and more unpleasant distortion. Why the people who requesting don't hear that

[@gomesdiogo]

@@alexptvz1076 it comes down to the aesthetic and comercial standards of the genre, I believe You cannot compete in edm big room world if your tracks aren't as loud as the comercial standard, which is loud as f, for example

"clipping" is the wrong word. He means limiting. Language :)

[@chefcurry8983]

No he means clipping

[@gomesdiogo]

you don't know what you are talking about these are 2 different things he clips a lot in this video with SIR standard clipper and limit with pro L2 and limiter 6

@@gomesdiogo Eff clipping! big noob mistake and Nono!

[@grgschfr8]

@@MacReviewzOnline He's not a noob and it's not a mistake. First Google the practice of clipping and understand what's happening when you do it, then you can delete your ignorant comment. It's ok to be at the level that you're at, but don't try to tell people they're doing something wrong when you don't even understand what the hell you're talking about.
