Are You Listening? Ep. 4 | Limiting in Mastering (Part 1)

[@1Reg0]

I cant believe these lessons are free.. so incredible

[@mattygalaxy]

agreed

[@globaldegenerates]

Dude we feel so blessed for this man.

[@Vincetrumentals]

Exactly

[@suntaramusic]

I know right!

[@lushkordz6643]

💯 just huuuuge

[@Dj_Leoguerrero]

What i lke the most about this lessons, is that Jonathan is teaching what he knows and not just trying to sell the Ozone products. Thumbs up and many many thanks for this kind of educational videos !

[@obiwantschernobyl5650]

Thats because everyone knows that ozone products are a must-have :D

[@mattcom2]

I’ve never seen a combination of presentation skills and visual production values on KZbin that comes anywhere near this series. I bought RX7’s promotional package of de-noise, de-click, etc. on sale to help with a horrendous ambient noise problem interfering with voiceover recording. It’s a near miracle. Still, with no background in music production I just can’t stop watching this video series. This is the gold standard for clarity in information delivery.

[@damnfractal]

check out fabfilter tutorials, they're pretty much the best I've seen

[@wiseausrs]

RX is a great product series and I have started to use it in place of Waves X-Click for some time now. Izotope's detection resolution is very impressive!

[@integer22]

I've been an engineer all my life and I'm still learning a huge amount from these videos. I could listen to Jonathan all day.

[@Syklonus]

I've been in the audio game for 15 years and I'm still learning new things. If someone assumes that they know it all then they'll never progress. Staying hungry and open to new things is the key.

[@sonny3854]

@@Syklonus these are not new concepts though ... are you sure you guys are engineers?

6:25 short term LUFS 6:55 streaming service use intergrated LUFS 8:20 loudest section 3-4 dB higher than the average 9:20 limiters lose low frequencies and gain high frequency distortion 10:45 limiters have fast release times 12:45 irc 1 like analogue limiter, little look ahead (more transient reduction, warmer and punchier ) (punch through the middle for rock/punk). 13:20 irc2 like look ahead Digital limiter (smoother and allows LF warmth to come through). 13:55 irc3 has look up table and chooses the algorithm that will produce the lowest distortion (cleaner, brighter, least amount of colour) 14:30 irc4 spectral shaper 14:45 long release = smoother and defeat excitement

[@PakessoMukash]

I don't know what it is, but even after buying and viewing TONS of tutorials of various qualities, THIS is the guy I trust %100. Fantastic relay of knowledge in such a beautiful and pleasant way. I love it.

[@TokyoSpeirs]

This is by far the best series of videos on dynamics I have ever seen. I'm surely not the only one feverishly taking notes.

[@lazarradovanovic7431]

What a way to sell your products! iZotope, we love you!

[@dacbiz6092]

I truly appreciate you sharing your professional advice, tips and tricks of the trade. This knowledge can definitely help everyone regardless of the level of skill. This gives me the confidence and knowledge to help me master my own tracks without "overdoing it". Thank you very much

[@danielrhoads8676]

I've watched some of these tutorials multiple times. each time i retain a new idea than my previous watch. Thank you for putting this content out there. I've really been enjoying and learning from your experience and teaching. Sending your tons of gratitude and positive energy. I really appreciate this series are you listening.

[@I_am_bhmgthelabel]

I'm glued to this series now

[@QuintSEnce]

I don't think I've found any other Tutorial videos that are as informative and educative as this series.... I have become an avid fan...subbed, belled and all the rest.... As far I'm concerned they can't be published quick enough.... Excellent Video's Top quality instruction and absolutely the best info on the net regards mastering and mixing, Thank you for sharing your expertise.

[@DigiMixAudio]

Kudos to Jonathan Wyner and iZotope for the videos!

[@aaa-a-aaaaaa3144]

I can't stress enough how amazing of an educator you are. Thanks so much for putting this information out there for free!!!

[@BenCaesar]

Really enjoying this series🧩

[@101AOK]

Ha...nice job. Well planned and presented. Lighting was above par, diction clarity and depth of your voice spot on, Camera shots and the Pull to Focus at the perfect time and NOT over-done made it easy to absorb the excellent information provided. I figured if you put that much time in to it you deserved a solid complement.

[@Jasonweckard]

I'm for sure going to buy the Ozone Mastering suite later this year. Seems like a fun set of tools.

[@alysoncastonguay6619]

Such a great series. Every video in this series is immediately applicable and explains so much things I couldn't quite get my head around. Succinct and invaluable. Thank you Jonathan and iZotope!

This is so good. Thanks iZotope.

[@MrGavin87]

Great tutorials; you've removed years of googling and broken keyboards. Playback level on a/b is a big value point! Thanks for sharing your professional wisdom.

[@nathanbieber2840]

Ive been using ozone since ozone 4! I love it. Its great to learn from the proverbial horses mouth. Thanks for the videos!

[@djgstefan]

This is gold information. And I would like to listen to the big speakers that are in the background.

[@antonio1681]

Awesome video and videos. I’m 16 and started producing music. Appreciate the videos!

[@santinosings]

Though some of this information is already going over my head, I appreciate that this is free SOOOOOO much. Thank you guys

[@CosgroveMusic]

Great video! Appreciate you putting these out!

[@MixingGBP]

This is a great series and Jonathan is an outstanding teacher. IZotope just gets things right without muss and fuss.

[@JoePacheco]

I didn't realize my knowledge was so....limited! ;-) This is great! again!!

[@bartjelories]

I get it :)

[@nicksalazar2239]

Been mixing 9 years. I would like to think im at a professional level as I've put in hours apon hours of perfecting my mixing skills as well as training me ears.. That being said, the more i study Mastering the more i realise how different of an art it is and how i have SOO much to learn to be a better master engineer. Weird how i can easily hear different frequencies or needs of compression a MIX would need.. But my ear is far from trained well to hear what a track needs in the Master phase. There is too many Mastering tutorials that throw on only an eq and a limiter on defult settings cruching 8 db of gain and callimg it a day. Much respect to this teacher for teachimg the art of the different shapes you can achieve in the sound by playing with so many different variables.

[@1NOnlyAdityaOfficial]

hey ! pls make video about how to get proper stereo imaging in a whole stereo field and what are advance tips to mix a whole song and placing its element in stereo field Thanks 💚🙏

[@iZotopeOfficial]

We just released a video explaining exactly this! Hit up our channel to watch :)

[@quazrmusic]

Thanks so much iZotope & Jonathan Wyner for everything! I am definitely Listening to every episode #grateful

[@pablov1973]

The most instructive videos I ever seen about this topics.

[@emanuelenazzaro]

These videos are great! Thanks Izotope and thanks Jonathan for the great quality of these lessons!

[@TheFRiNgEguitars]

This is an excellent series, very well explained and informative. The limiter can be a dangerous tool, IMO and mostly isn't ever needed. If the engineer has done a good job with dynamic range compression to make the signal louder, limiting isn't needed at all. Be careful as the limiter destroys every part of the signal limited, or clipped. So, it's not only the bass that gets limited first, we have higher frequency signal modulated on the peaks of the bass signal, so all of the higher frequency signal gets wiped out (flat-lined) for a given number of milliseconds.

[@tensorplex]

I like this series, it's informative but also a chill to watch. Thanks iZotope!

[@HealthyBodyForLife]

This man and this series are a gift to artists and audio engineers everywhere. Thank you so much.

[@BoboLearns]

Wonderful wonderful tutorials, very valuable. And free for us to learn! Amazing. Thanks for making and sharing these valuable lessons!

[@ghfjfghjasdfasdf]

I love Izotope and would be lost without Ozone.

[@pharaohsmusic2448]

This guy is a legend

[@iandean9392]

Thank you! I’m interested in the controller you use (left of computer keyboard)

[@mcsstudios101]

great topic of level matching.

[@wiseausrs]

Thank you so very much for uploading! I needed a good refresher to help me get back into the swing of things since it's been a while since I went to school. These videos have been very helpful with that!

[@mimidhof2179]

Thank you...there are no such a valuable content for free out there... triple A. Does Jonathan still make seminars...?

[@taks359]

I like his explanation about the release time !

[@s90210h]

thank you very much for these! please go in more depth if you want to, I'd love to hear more specifics about LUFS etc!

[@erichoodmusic5810]

Wow this guy explains this so well!

[@--legion]

The limiter he's talking about is Ozone's 'maximiser' - fairly easy. But the limiter in Dynamics with its attack/release, knee... etc., is a little more complicated.

[@psychotrout]

These are very valuable info! Thank you very much!

[@amdenis]

So well explained - thanks! Cool studio, BTW.

[@mattygalaxy]

man this was amazing 🙌 such a good explanation on limiters

[@jamalalsenady3144]

Thank you, so helpful!

[@bandrewes]

So is he saying that you should trigger your mixbus compresser with a mono sum of your stereo mix in the sidechain, to avoid the stereo balance to go off (when referencing the tom fill going across the sound field) at 11.46

[@KingGrio]

The insidious limiter effect was really an eye opener. I found myself getting horrendous sibilance when misusing a limiter and wondered where the hell it came from

[@djdrewpyroproduction]

Awesome this is a great series

[@kaanj90]

What's the name of the controller he's using at 3:57 ?

[@nicosefstratiou442]

[@angela-estudantedemusica-7725]

when I use the automatic mastering of ozone 10, which masters at 11 lufs and I change it to 14 lufs, setting for spotify, with "learn theshoud", there is distortion. It's piano, violin and voice. How to solve it?

[@matcatmusic]

Pure gold!

[@brijem]

10:59 - yes!

[@Jinromman]

This is gold

[@christophsiegrist3066]

Thanks!

[@nathanbieber2840]

Hey Jonathan. Do you know what the lufs range is for the streaming services like soundcloud and spotify? Amazon music? I try to kep it at -12 but i wanna knownif i can push it or not

[@arande3]

1:24 how loud does it need to be, great question. Honestly, in a lot of situations if I'm just using my phone speaker, it needs to be as loud as it possibly can, up to the point where it starts losing intelligibility because the transients are getting squashed.

[@checktheneck]

When I try to match levels with this button (4:27) I hear clipping on peaks, what am I doing wrong?

[@deadlypredator3]

Deonisso prolly mixing to high? Or you pushed the treshold to high idk i always mix low and use a limiter and then ozone and my mix sounds fine

[@HieuPham-pw6og]

I love you so much , really really love you

[@alexanderewing3779]

Hi! Thanks again for another informative vid. One question. I am using Ozone 7 and the release controls etc you are using for limiting appear to be only available in the Maximiser? Am i missing something/ Cheers Alex

[@alameenbalogun7113]

I do everything they say about mastering. But when i play my song and i play a professional mastered song. Arm i feel a huge difference. How do pro's go about thier mastering chain.

[@seanjones9389]

It’s your mix bro

[@Breakbeat90s]

@@seanjones9389 That aswell but there is so much more to mastering than they explained so far in that series. Consider reading Bob Katz book, that one is really great Also fuck around with different plugins (or hardware units if you can afford them) to feel what brings you forward the most efficient way Or maybe your room isn't treated good enough and you confuse your ears (brain technically) and so on... theres many shits to a "simple" topic like adjusting a 2 track stereo mix i guess

Adam, are you comparing the same song, one version you mastered and another one that was mastered by a mastering engineer or are you comparing your finish song with a entirely different artist or bands master?..

[@Byronic19134]

Difference in what? Level? Also pro mastering engineers are still using analog

[@ricemilk3185]

Hey get a mastered version of your song and compare it to your mastered version of the same song take it from there. But remember to "fix it in the mix"

[@RansomnoteWill]

My guy 🙏🏽

[@KevinStCroix]

Software limiters just aren’t transparent or even musical sounding. They are affordable compared to hardware but not comparable. The Pendulum Audio PL2 is an incredible hardware Limiter that is also musical and transparent.

[@voice-of-oblivion]

Thank you very much. (Or as we say "Thank you Vary Mu")

[@kristianandreasen3230]

0:48 - 1:17 - how limiters affect level

[@ColonBlowBand]

Weird. Mine is playing in fast forward. Maybe it's just mine. I will try again later.

[@ierapetra23]

How can this tutorial be free? I hate long tutorials but those episodes flow like water.

[@moistydoooood]

so if i wanna preserve my low end presence in the mix-i would use a compressor rather than a limiter?

[@pixure]

yes, and probably a multi-band compressor. that way you can apply different compression to your low end, midrange and high end, for example.
