Fucking hell this tune is such a banger. It's really refreshing watching a tutorial where I actually want to keep listening to the track repeated. Normally the tunes mastered in tutorials are awful and it's such a struggle to have to listen to that crap over and over as stuff gets explained. Great video. Excellent charisma.

Dude!!! You've increased the quality of my Mastering Tenfold!!! Learning to Record, Mix, and Master on my own has been a daunting trial, and it is videos like this that have made that journey possible. I just finished mastering my EP and I'm just blown away by what I've been able to accomplish. Thanks so much!!!!

Last tip I forgot to mention. Your master is not finished at this point. You will need to listen back and automate accordingly to make sure your master still translates ;)
@garrettspies89703 жыл бұрын
how would you go about "automating accordingly?" Do you use multiple presets and cue them on the time line? Last one: do some songs need fewer/more persets?
@Catandbeats3 жыл бұрын
@@garrettspies8970 Great question. What I mean is not presets but you automation eq bands for instance or the limiter itself. Generally speaking just giving a little bump for the drop is very nice to do. Things of this nature. If you are interested in this kind of stuff check my channel and the mixing series there
