How to Master Your Metal Sound with These Tips | Metal Recording Basics in Cubase

In this mixing and mastering metal music in Cubase tutorial, metal music production specialist Mendel Bij De Leij discusses master bus processing on a modern metal mix. Showcasing a project for the band Futility, Mendel demonstrates his metal music workflow for mastering metal bands. Starting by putting the tube compressor on the Cubase master bus, listening to frequencies in the metal mix, finding the sweet spot for compression and making the compressor less pumpy, Mendel aims to get a sharp and bright guitar sound for a fierce ambience.

[@bramvanrens91]

I've been sleeping on Imager it seems! It's going straight into my template.

No limiting?

[@mrsogood3531]

True, I didn't even notice it until I saw your comment ahah. I guess it is like a general thing to do so since this tuto was focused on metal, maybe he thought that was pointless

[@MusicalWizardryMarcoIannello]

@@mrsogood3531 may be, and it is ok, of course 🙂 But curious to see how he would make the tune louder to compete with what is out there

[@mrsogood3531]

@@MusicalWizardryMarcoIannello I hate loudness war, when will this stop

[@kraftnote169]

Hard music material

[@EdVizenor]

Truth: oh the "Futility" of working with this style of music. It's sounds "All The Same"

[@shawnwhittle98]

You obviously don't listen to much metal.
