[@JayPhatty]

Yall all these effects are doing is making your beat loud enough. You still want to make sure there is headroom. Mastering a song with vocals and everything is very different!! Don't get confused, thinking this is the process to master FULL SONGS. This is just a process to get your beats loud enough for a rapper to want to rap on it. A lot of people in the comments Gate Keeping, saying you have to do this or have to do that. Just do what sounds good to your ears. 💯

[@vndgkng]

Just used this technique for my new Beat. Its very effective. Better than my mastering technique ive been using for 2 years

Like they said On producer grind “we not doing all that extra shit, turn them drums up and send it off” lol 😂 on bro

I was thinking the same shit🤣

[@kenneth.castro]

😂😂😂😂

[@ryang9529]

With a 7.6:1 ratio, you're basically limiting at that point. So it's not really gluing it's more for catching peaks. To get that glue you're looking for a 1.5:1 or 2:1 ratio.

Wtf does this even mean

[@veilonme]

dynamics are important!

[@Tai-Dye]

7.5 ratio on the master is wild. But hey, if it sounds good IT WORKED lol. Ngl thats kinda baffling but screw it, if it reaches the goal 🔥 Definitely gonna try using the soft clipper into the limiter though, that seems fire

People be scared to experiment, thats what music is isn't it? Experimentation and creativity? At least imo.

use maximus instead of just a normal compressor, more time consuming but makes the quality a lot better

[@blah7270]

Very informative!

[@isaiastoledo9151]

Genius 🔥🔥🔥

[@ExtraPainful]

Nice!! I’ll try this out next time. When I cook up, I just leave a soft clipper on with the default preset, so I don’t blow my monitors accidentally with any super loud sounds. Lately, I’ve been using Maximus with one of the mastering presets just to make my 808 more full and distorted, but not too much. But I noticed my waveforms after exporting were almost capped. I don’t want to make it too loud that I blow out someone else’s speakers. Lol!

[@JayPhatty]

Maximus is great! It's all about using it sparingly. It's really all about the mix! Phor beats, mastering shouldn't be complicated. It just needs to be loud enough. Phor mastering songs however, that is a different process in itself

[@ExtraPainful]

@@JayPhatty I agree, mixing is one thing and mastering is another. Thanks man!

[@bremflux6464]

Good avise, but I suggest clipping and compressing individual tracks. Don't touch the master. Export with headroom and send to a pro for mastering. 50$ to 100$ later, you'll have what you are looking for...

[@Lil_Kenny123]

So your advice is, pay someone else to do it? 😂😂. That goes against the whole premise of this video and learning in general

I just use Izotope mastering software ozone 10

[@brickyardderelik]

I'm not as advanced ( I only have FL9) but I use the master feature in Maximus with Soundgoodizer on setting A (depends if I want to bring Miss out then I use setting C) and my EQ flat just for CD test sake

[@amenetaka2419]

Try putting a diffrent soundgoodizer with a diffrent setting on each channel that you think needs it instead of putting it on the master

[@MajorqeyBeatz]

Perfect video but can put reverb on the mastering as well. Let’s know how you do it if possible

[@JayPhatty]

I wouldn't recommend putting reverb on the master! Instead, use a bus. This video talks about a drum bus, but the same concept applies to melodies and other stuff as well. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eZ28lYZ8ac-imMk

[@jordiwessels8399]

Un clipper en fin de chaîne master ? Le compresseur serait optimum si le clipper était placé avant celui-ci... en fin de chaîne master c'est un limiteur pour 99,9% du temps ! Sur plusieurs supports audio la différence serait audible pour une oreille amateur.

[@ariuszg7375]

Your compression attack is too high. Usually you want a very quick attack

[@bluntlxxvii]

you should also add 5 different soundgoodizers

[@StonedAKhana]

If I’m mastering a full song, do I want to master the beat like this on its own first, or master the track as a whole all at once?

[@JayPhatty]

This is just to get beats loud enough to display them. Mixing and mastering whole songs is a different process.

[@Theonlyoneto]

Whole song together

[@StonedAKhana]

@@JayPhatty okay thanks

[@StonedAKhana]

@@Theonlyoneto thanks brother

[@nelomedina8811]

Thank you for your tutorials man . So usually when i have an artist on my beat , ive almost always send them the low version of the beat with about -3 to -6db of headroom without anything on my master bus i would try to get the mix as best i could within each mixer channel, once i would get the beat sent back with the vocals on it then i would process the master to bring to loudness with a limiter at the end. But for just beat making and to post on beatstars, youtube ect for potential artist when you say to have loud enough how loud are we talking in terms of LUFS or headroom left? And sorry for the long post man, just wanted some clarification.

[@JayPhatty]

I just got phor atleast 1 dB of headroom, I like my beats loud when I'm displaying them on youtube

[@nelomedina8811]

Oh ok. Definitively giving this a try.💪🏼

[@littv1610]

Cant they just turn down the beat themselves when recording?

[@ProjectHMF]

I wouldnt recommend using a ratio above 4:1 on the master also you have better options than the fruity compressor in fl's stock list. Outside of that, yeah its a good chain to get enough loudness.

[@diesel8907]

What’s a good stock option alternative for fruity compressor?

[@ProjectHMF]

@@diesel8907 fruity limiter & maximus are the ones I use normally

[@artistxcc]

Sick

[@vjmcgovern]

Bro near-limited then soft-clipped

[@KhaledBeatz92]

I never learned how to use compressor on the master to glue everything together. 😢

[@darkcharmrecords]

look up SSL bus comp mixbus settings

[@devoliukas7108]

So when you choose a slot and choose an effect, it goes over the whole playlist ? Or only to the corresponding mixer channel in which you chose as a slot

[@FloorStylez]

Maximus ftw

[@KS-pi1kt]

is this beat released? its fire

[@toreywilliams6760]

Great info .. what about eq on the master channel like what frequencies should I cut to leave room for vocals

[@JayPhatty]

You don't need a eq every single time, only use it if you really need to make subtle changes. And it depends cuz every voice is different, and it depends if the frequencies are clashing. I'd say just use an eq with a plan of action, don't aimlessly throw it on everything (like I used to do.) Understand what frequencies may be clashing and what needs bumped or lowered.

My man, are you doing this exact technique on the beats you upload to your instrumentals channel?

Yes!

Recently I'll also use a ozone 9 elements on the end of the chain also but that's not necessary.

True that, every beat is different and may need other things addressed in different ways.

[@Dhtestme]

Not gonna lie it makes the beat so loud for me the 808 just sounds so crappy and loud every time I do this

[@JayPhatty]

I hear you, it's all about the mix truly, before you master, make sure everything is leveled at a low level, the master is going to amplify everything, it's very important to make sure the mix is sitting nice with plenty of headroom before the master.

No, mastering full songs is a completely different process. This is just to get your beat loud enough.

Sounds muddy af thru my monitors they really let anyone make these videos Lmao the one before this dude was putting his melody at -7 db and his 808 at plus 3.5 and just slapping a soft clipped on it and calling it done

[@SoCalOnTheBeat]

@@ProdByBorthWest🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 i remember them days man my mixes was super muddy i mix good asf now 😊to be honest you dont need any of these technique just mix the beat good and use a AI mastering tool its gone master it good long as your mix is good! cuz guess what at the end of the day it makes your beat louder and clear plus if it get placed its gonna get mastered again just level your beats

[@ProdByBorthWest]

@@SoCalOnTheBeat I agree with that but it’s important nowadays too have a pretty good mix too get good sales cause of the high number of people who can make good beats neeed something too give your the advantage and imo that’s a good mix.

[@bigfootnarcota9203]

You don’t think that’s too much?

[@MrCool144]

It baffles me how many “producers” will just disable the ceiling before even messing with the attack and release times to get the sound they want. Not to mention how many free plugins can soft clip much better than the saturation or the stock soft clip plugin. This is why you guys will fade away, nothing but followers following followers. If you read this comment and get offended you will be forgotten. If you find truth in it you have a chance.

[@JayPhatty]

Man! That sounds very subjective. I'm disabling the ceiling because I don't like how it cuts the transients compared to the sat knob. Now, if this was a phull song, the chain would be different, but this is just showing how to get your beats loud enough. Especially if you have good sound selection, you don't need to do much. Now, the fruity soft clipper works wonders being used like this. There are definitely good soft clip plugins, but you don't need them if you know how to use what you got. I hope you try and open your mind a bit and not try to gate keep the process phor other producers. 💯

[@francobuzzetti9424]

you basically used 3 instances of maximus without using maximus

Why would you master a beat ?

thats why i just use ai mastering like emastwr because long as you mix the beat good the master gone be good rather a rapper rap on it or not but if the engineeer want to remaster than ok ill send trackouts but artist dropping music without it being mastered long as the beat mixed good and the vocals mixed i think actual albums get shipped out and mixed becaus wits so many artist just dropping music i know because i worked with a few big names fun fact- did you know the song pick it up by famous dex was not mastered at all!? yeah i know the producer of that beat he couldnt find the flp and trackouts for it but the song mase the radio so they did the best they could with the song lol if yo engineer cold you good for the most part not every time
