Get LOUDER Mixes & Masters | Easy Mastering Chain For Hip Hop

[@colingray6406]

This by far is the best educational and straight forward video for getting your mixes ready for release. I'm 50 and been mixing for 2yrs. I used your chain on my last two joints and took them to another level. Love leaning from you young cats. Keep doind what you do. Up General!!!

[@MadRezStudios]

Thanks for the kind words man! So glad the chain helped your mixes 💯

[@Federal_Mad_Mix]

Currently using your all your mixed songs of Johnny Badaxx as reference track and some artistes already starting to call me OG 😂😂 you are a life saver bro. I’m with you till eternity 💪🏾

i just learned more about this is 17 mins then i did while earning two degrees in music production and protools engineering. thx dude. superb approach.

[@MadRezStudios]

Thanks bro thats whats up! Stay tuned for more heat coming soon!

[@mr.nibbz90]

@@MadRezStudios yo what would you recommend as alternatives if you dont have the slate digital setup like you do - i.e. waves or even stock plugins to accomplish your virtual mixbuss and eq approach

[@kenyxkenyx]

This video helps me a lot. After watching bunch of mastering tutorial, so far this one is the only that finally get me to the volumn without pulling one limiter too crazy and ruin my mix. Thank you so much!

[@MadRezStudios]

So glad to hear that! The key is limiting in small steps to add up to that big picture!

[@JVSTINO_BEATS]

I think you should add the fact in the title that you're not just making the track louder, but also more dynamic. Saying you can make something sound louder doesn't say much, but making it loud AND dynamic are ultimately our goals as engineers, right? You teach extremely well, I'm just saying this so the snobs don't nitpick.

[@MadRezStudios]

Thanks man I appreciate that and you are absolutely right. I'll make that update!

[@JVSTINO_BEATS]

@@MadRezStudiosAnd I'm definitely sharing this.

[@sound2sightent]

It is a creative process, some engineers use 3 or 4 plug ins on the master while others use 5 6 or more. The most important tools are your ears and reference tracking. Great work man!

[@MadRezStudios]

Sound 2 Sight Ent. I completely agree! Thanks my friend

[@rajaboro4619]

U are really a life saver man, I'm shocked that u only have 205 subs... Glad I found this channel in an early stage & many thanks for the information u provided ..... Keep sharing 🙏

[@africanrevolution3551]

WOW!!!!! only seeing this now!!!!! this DOPE!!!! more videos...PLEASE!!!!

[@ulyssesacosta5138]

thanks for the insight

[@mixbywheeler5473]

That is one sick temp bro. I have been using it on all my 2 track beat mixes people send me. Killer job my friend i added some of my analog gear to it and turns out nice

[@MadRezStudios]

Thanks bro! Its powerful thats for sure! My mastering chain can be found in my Vocal DRIP pack for StudioRack. There are vocal presets for rap leads, melodic leads, dubs & adlibs as well as beat mixing chain and master bus chain. madrezstudios.com/collections/vocal-drip-series

[@blackboyperfect485]

How much you charge to mix songs... I mix and master my own songs also record myself but I’m still in the learning process only been doing it for a few months so in my eyes im no pro yet LOL but I’m getting better but I kinda wanna find a engineer to help with the load I’m taking on too so that’s why I’m asking

[@MadRezStudios]

Great video bro!!!

[@stamecec2003]

THANKS FOR THE TIP BRO

[@reallnikka123]

Where was the mix hitting before the master? Does the limiter make it clip or is that what it’s literally for like to make it loud and still not clip, I use fl studio but I saw when the final mix was playing it was red on the mixer on the top of the screen

[@The_Cyber_King]

💯

[@cartofgiant]

For being so young you know a lot about pt,, nice

[@TrifectaDev]

Thanks for the video, new sub for sure

[@donruga627]

Hey bro I’m having a problem with a template I just purchased from you

[@UpInSmoke123]

dope just subscribed! do you have any samples of mixing boom bap style songs? i'm looking for a mix engineer since we in quarantine and i have a home studio but not the best at mixing at the moment

[@MadRezStudios]

WHat up man, thanks for the sub! Ya bro check my mixing portfolio and peep the artist Mitchell James, hes got a dope modern take on that old school vibe. madrezstudios.com/mixing-mastering

[@UpInSmoke123]

Mad Rez Studios ok will do bro

[@JustinClaphan]

Thank you very much for this really helpful video! I was wondering if you would make a video like this with using just the stock plugins of Protools? I imagine it would help a lot of people who don't have the additional plugs. If not I understand but I really appreciate this video! Also... how did you set an Input for your Master? When I create 2 master faders they only have an Output option.

[@MadRezStudios]

Thanks man that’s a good call. Ill add that to my video schedule. As for the 2 master faders question.. I use a “Master Track” as my SUBMIX or mixbus fader where I do my mixbus processing and use an “AUX Track” for my final MASTER fader going out to the monitors. The AUX track is what give me INPUT/OUTPUT options. This is what I am explaining at 2:18 of the video.

[@klinmusicph]

The thumbnail made me watch your video 😅

[@PoppybLuntz]

YOU ARE A FUCKING GURU!!!!! IM GETTIN YA TEMPLATE RN DOGGY!!! GOOD LOOKS! THIS IS PROB THE BEST MASTERING TUTORIAL I'VE SEEN AND THE FACT YOU'RE SELLING THE TEMPLATE IS THE TRUTH!!!! LOL

[@MadRezStudios]

I appreciate you bro! My goal is to help artists make the best possible music from their home studios and turn their passion into a lucrative career! Im in the process of building a full course as well to fully walk through my entire process from idea to fully released song. Stay tuned for more KZbin content, new templates and the full course soon!

[@onekingmusic7018]

What's up brother .. how do undo that technique with the output so I dint hit my plugins to hard .. I use logic

[@MadRezStudios]

Just insert a trip or level plugin on the very first slot of your master bus. This will allow you to bring down the level before it gets to your plugin processing chain.

[@nesonams573]

yo how are you? do you also do remote mixing? if yes do you have instagram? thank you

[@MadRezStudios]

Yessir! IG: @madrezstudios - All my rates are on my website. madrezstudios.com

[@corygolf.]

so when you said 0 dB VU (with the first mix bus plugin), it was really like pinned at +3...and I'm always overthinking this whole process. I know there are no rules, but I was taught to mix low and leave headroom...so you're just turning down your mix -4 to give yourself that headroom, but there's still not much headroom?? I also get confused when it comes to to L3-LL multi...if you are leaving that output at -4.0, there's still room after that to pull it up again, but what if you were to set the output to -0.2? I need to just stand behind someone mastering in the studio once so I can ask like 4 questions haha

[@corygolf.]

maybe I just wanna see the level meter for the beat before it goes into your mix bus I don't know man...good stuff thanks

[@txddyfarquh69]

What stock/free/other 3rd party Plugin can i use instead of SSL Virtual Mixbuss?

[@MadRezStudios]

There are a number of compressors that people use for Mix bus compression. The SSL is certainly one of the most popular for this style of music but you can get away with using similar settings on your stock compressor and see what results you get. The important thing is to understand WHY we are applying mix bus compression, not necessarily the HOW we do it. We just want to get the whole mix "glued" together a bit. You don't need much gain reduction to achieve this.

[@txddyfarquh69]

@@MadRezStudios so its safe to use: - SSL G-master Buss(in place of vmixbuss) - Eq - SSL G-master Buss - J.37 Tape - L3 - G.Clip as my mixBuss chain?

[@MadRezStudios]

@@txddyfarquh69 Yessir that would work for sure. There are many ways to get to the same finish line.

@@MadRezStudios just another quick question, should I use S1 Imager in the Master at end of chain if I want to tryn get the sound "wide"???

[@GEVHENC]

no free?

[@musicplaylistize]

hey bro, once again you don't compare at same audible level. For all I know you just bumped the level of the "mastered" version... I know you n put in the work, let us hear the difference! thanks

[@MadRezStudios]

Youre right man! That was the one thing I would have liked to add to this video was a volume matched comparison. But also for the sake of this video, I was mainly trying to point out how to take a mix that is sounding good and get it loud and still dynamic. So I did want to show off the loudness difference because I was getting requests specifically on loudness. I will be sure to be mindful of this for future A/B comparisons 🤙🏼

[@musicplaylistize]

@@MadRezStudios Understandable! All I think is missing to that kind of comparison is a level matched a/b comparison at the end, thanks for the content!
