I like this definition "mastering is about make your mix louder without destroying the dynamics and the emotional integrity of the track." Very good content this 2 minutes series video.

[@GoatsInSpace]

Positive comment for the community... the 2 min series is great for dealing with that initial panic you get when approaching something new and unknown.

[@AndyKehOfficial]

solid tips! even for someone who is a little further down the road!

[@blackula64]

Thank you for helping me evolve my craft

[@jackhudson9811]

Love that Inflator !!

[@martynworthington9435]

Interesting re the Sonnox Inflator, I've not idea how they manage to do what they do with that plugin but it seems pretty special considering how easy it is to use! Great tips again guys, thank you so much. ❤

[@andreaswalterkoellen]

Yes, it is amazingly effective

[@TT-md7mm]

Hyperbits has hands down become my best resource for clear-cut professional advice with no thrills. Can't say I've seen another collection of people that are as dedicated to giving people actual professional standard advice as Hyperbits, ever.

[@bg4productionsllc]

Agreed. Pro level in entry level language.

[@TT-md7mm]

@@bg4productionsllc No doubt! They break down everything into an easy to understand concept and once you understand that, the possibilities of creativity are endless.

[@Afritunez]

Zen World ? 😁

[@SanjiKicks]

These materials can push even someone like me through my producer challenges!

[@anthonyandrews8592]

Hyperbits masters tracks very cleanly, and he always explains the "why" behind each concept, making each concept easier to grasp.

[@diego_cocco]

Just picked up the Sonnox Inflator after watching the last mixing webinar. Wow... it's made such a difference in my music!! You guys are legends! Big hugs from Boston

[@bg4productionsllc]

That serious huh? I might have to look into it.

[@diego_cocco]

BG4 Productions LLC demo it and see for yourself! MOST of the time it’s not about which plugins you use, but like Serik says, there isn’t anything like it. Cheers mate!

[@Hyperbits]

We LOVE this plugin :)

I have never thought about the frequency buildup when mastering before. Thanks again for all of your helpful pointers... you give away way too much free stuff, but hey, I'm not complaining!

[@Withavoicelikethis]

This is great information in easily digestible bites. You don't overwhelm, great entry-level approach!

[@wtfexza]

Liking your video exactly after tapping the video is my religion

[@jeremymiller6551]

Super helpful videos... I'm loving this series!

[@epidemika5054]

Keep it up everyone! COVID-19 provides an opportunity to spend more time focusing on productions. It also provides more time to check out all the Hyperbits tips & tutorials, which are all really helpful. Highly recommended.

[@Hyperbits]

Well said!

[@deemcevoy356]

Love your courses and tutorials, I know before I watch a video that I’m going to learn something. Thanks 🙏

[@mymantheguitarman95]

You guys are so helpful! So glad I found this channel when I did! Thank you! Much love!

[@lailasapphira848]

HYPERBITS! I am loving these videos and have been waiting for a video from you all about mastering! It's been super helpful and the way you explain limiting was super helpful! I feel more confident about experimenting with limiting and the inflator. Can you guys talk about using "subtle saturation" to increase perceived loudness and adding tube warmth? Thank you!!!

[@bg4productionsllc]

Add stereo imaging to the list too, lol.

[@Hyperbits]

We've looked into this before on our channel :) You can check out our video on Saturation that shows exactly this within the 2 Minute Series.

[@tpowers2332]

Great explanations with the examples. Makes it very clear with the a/b comparisons! This is gold!!!

[@leoislo]

SSL G-Bus is a MUST on any mixbus.

[@dmore5631]

Great series! Loved all the info. Great help for all who want to learn.

[@delight8888]

THANK U THANK U THANK YOU!!!! YOU ARE ONE OF THE BEST TUTORS OUT THERE!!!! PERIOD & TRUST ME I DONT ENDORSE JUNK YOU ARE GOOD HOPEFULLY I GET TO STUDY MORE FROM YOU AND WE GET TO DO SOMETHING TOGETHER HYPERBITS YOU ARE BLESSED!!!!!!

[@marjolainemcgraw]

Thanks for the vulgarisation of music production knowledge, your videos are EPIC 🧡

[@Hyperbits]

Glad you like them!

[@joeyyellow1635]

Learned a lot from this vid! Thanks for putting this one out! Waiting every week for new vids :)

[@ravenclawcommon]

You guys! Wanted to express my gratitude and say thank you for all of the knowledge that you are sharing and everything that you are doing in general. I stumbled upon your webpage quite early when I started to produce music and thanks God for that. I’ve always been coming back to your website and KZbin channel for some new production knowledge. Keep up the amazing job you are doing. 😊

[@andreaswalterkoellen]

Thank you, very helpful!

[@PECHtheGuitaristDJV]

Love it and loving the plugins :)

[@poglej]

Some great tips here, I'll definitely try them out! I always also add some tape saturation on my masters but you gotta be careful not to overdo it especially high end frequencies.

[@Hyperbits]

Great tip!

[@stormedjoint]

This is amazing information. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with the producer community!

[@jarrodf_]

Great vid. Bookmarked for posterity

[@garettpalm154]

Thank you for the things you guys do! I just started your masterclass and am really looking forward to it! Keep it up!!!

[@Ajotta584]

Thanks for the great video series. Less is definitely more when it comes to tutorials. Straight to the point and lots of value!

[@tingod2007]

great video! I always thought the Limiter should come last in the master chain though,,,

[@ABrashier01]

KISS vs KILL. Keep it short and simple, vs Keep it Long and Lengthy. These little shorts break down complex topics and make them easy to digest. Fundamental understanding is a MUST if you want to dive further into these topics.

[@andeleon6838]

Learned so much in under 3 minutes. Thought I was watching a 6 minute vid 😂

[@gibsonjones5596]

Love this!

[@sofyanhamimi-topik5158]

Awesome !

[@nobrayn]

Just a touch of sausage fattening. All those ads in my spam folder were for VST plugins all along?? Great tips, by the way. Mastering has always confounded me.

[@JJ5382]

Good series

[@jimbaker2565]

mastering demystified

[@unclejomusicmaker]

nice vid!!!

[@kevinboyprductions]

So inflation where in the chain ? Great vid btw!!

[@Hyperbits]

We recommend placing the Oxford inflator directly after your limiter or your compressor to boost up the perceived volume of the track.

[@kevinboyprductions]

@@Hyperbits Thanks!!

[@DLithic]

What ORder of OPerations do you Use when Mixing? Thanks, -Derek Schmidt

[@Hyperbits]

I usually start mixing the most important elements of a track first. In dance music, that would usually mean the drums, bass, and leads. Everything else supports these main elements, so I mix them in order of importance after the core of the track is sounding polished. Hope that helps!

[@DLithic]

@@Hyperbits cool thanks!

[@MyAndroidLover777]

what is tha song

[@Hyperbits]

Replay by syence

[@josealbertobatiz759]

For musicians, for thecnicians

[@piotrbukowski9566]

The comparison is bullshit because you didn't compensate the volume difference:)
