[@jeffray3]

So much GREAT information! Listen to the man, there are very few places high-pass works without mucking up the rest, first reach for a low shelf filter and watch the analyzer til your subs are tamed and the fundamentals are still strong.

[@panorama_mastering]

Well said!

[@plastiktide]

Very cool stuff! I appreciate your analytical and thorough approach

[@ronallen2458]

Good video. I keep wondering if there is application here for split EQ in the advanced or pro methods for both mud and subs.

[@panorama_mastering]

Of course there is, there are so many ways to branch out these fundementals and create flexibility in your workflow

[@lloydbrothers3315]

My thoughts exactly... I've really been trying not to buy so many plugins. I absolutely love the splitter tool in Studio One and I've had a blast working with splitting frequencies for eq. I'm gonna attempt some experiments with midside in that way. Michaelangelo is the 1st plug I've seen in a while that's screaming at my pocket. Lol

[@SkateronstiltS]

I can always see the passion that you have for music in each of your videos. Thanks for sharing!

[@javiimusica]

when you started to work on the michelangelo, the sound was jaw dropping. freaking amazing, I thought I was not gonna be able to hear it because the low end is hard. But it was amazing. Good job, thanks Nicholas.

[@panorama_mastering]

My pleasure!

[@Laows]

Great video bro. I will follow the video and doing some experiment in my project. Definitely will use these tips for my future projects

[@panorama_mastering]

Glad it was helpful! Let me know how you go!

[@VSpellMusic]

Thank you!

[@RicherPodcast]

This is gold. As a mix engineer, in the name of making it sound as good as it can be, I'm trying to understand if I 'should' add these mastering-type processes on the mix bus at mix stage... If I trust my ear, would you ever recommend adding this at mix stage i.e. BEFORE mix bus comp? (Of course adding it AFTER mix bus compression would effectively cross over into mastering territory, assuming the mix bus limiter was deactivated). Thanks bud.

[@SmashinAdams]

Cheers to you, mate; I've learned so much from your tutorials in such a short period of time. Just wish you'd kindly dial in the low pass on any high frequency of cussing so I can be ok watching it around the family. Not judging bcuz I've been there. Just saying.🙂

[@bicrome]

it keeps getting better!

[@boseyhad2doit2em]

Incase anybody doesn’t have Micheal Angelo. You can use a lfo in Saturn by fab filter the same way as the transient saturating method in 15:12

[@panorama_mastering]

Good shout!

[@DaftFader]

Stop the 300Hz hate! I'm right onboard with this one haha. This "clean up the mud" trick killed a bunch of my early mixes. Rest in pieces 😢 😂

[@Barnsey87]

I actually used eq to boost in the past, never dipped, and ever since beats don't hit as hard.

Can you do a video on advanced mastering for highs?

[@FlashRecordsStudios]

Hey Nicholas, this is a fantastic video. I was listening it in the Apple's earbuds initially (sorry:). When you tweaked Michelangelo EQ, the top end in the earbuds got pleasantly soft. Then I listened it again through the speakers... and it's quite amazing how the low end and the top end sound. I'm goin to try this plugin with the vocals. I don't have Ozone 11 and Clarity, however Eventide SplitEq does very nice job with transients & tonal balance. I would recommend trying it out. Thanks again!

[@panorama_mastering]

Amazing! No sweat! I will check that outback

[@chris_share]

[@panorama_mastering]

[@happyshadow]

I think you have to be careful expanding low end in a dance track, where the upper kick transient happens in time is where the bass is ducking - you can undo that pumping low end. When the kick is starting bloom out from its initial transient there will be bass at the start of its ramping up from the sidechain, if ur expanding at that moment u *could be undoing this.

do not forget to press the button match on michelangelo cos you know louder the better...and you wil hear that you are loosing some separation and detail

[@MonkeyMarc]

Amazing as always. By the way, you can shift click on the bottom eq freq section on the Michaelangelo to solo the band. :)

[@aipsong]

Excellent!!!Thanks!!!

[@junovue]

thank you for the time stamps!!

[@huberttorzewski]

Idk, when I try that Clarity module in my mixes it sounds very processed and artificial even at low % values. It takes away natural high mids and highs breathing/dynamics and introduces kinda phasey-like sound there that's a bit fatiguing to listen to. I'd rather try to use static eq and a high freq limiter (like the one built in TDR Limiter 6GE) instead or/and soothe (when there's bigger problem). Otherwise nice vid and I liked the low end sustain cut trick!

[@panorama_mastering]

No sweat! Thanks for watching. I want to look more into the clarity module. Just need to find the time…

[@AudioRecordingStudio58]

Hi Nicholas, Thanks for sharing the tips and useful information. I see Neumann Kh310 monitors in your studio. Are you satisfied with them or are you thinking about an upgrade? Thanks, M

[@Mr_Kri]

Great tips. How is it with Clarity and phase? 🤔 Actually, how is it with transient / sustain filters in general with phase? Nicholas? Any of you other good folks?

[@DrBuffaloBalls]

20:39 How exactly does it work that Pro-Q3 can remain in Linear Phase mode while also being Dynamic? Doesn't that completely mess up the phase calculations since the amount of phase shift to compensate for is constantly changing?

[@panorama_mastering]

The shift of an impulse response to keep the EQ in phase at this small of a chance is so minute you wouldn't hear it.

[@DrBuffaloBalls]

@@panorama_mastering Ok, thanks for the reply. Just curious as Cubase's stock EQ doesn't allow enabling linear phase and dynamic mode at the same time.

[@SuperFake777]

@@panorama_masteringshould we eq before or after our compression like one would think after compression because you can hear the finer details now that the dynamic range has been reduced but id also think eq into compressor could shape what it reacts to

[@yangjiyangji]

Does ozone clarity work similar to gullfoss eq? + why do you use it with broad frequency range? Maybe u could just use it between 200~1k. Any reasons?

[@bartoszmacke3978]

Yo brother. Great work man. Have one question though. If there is a case in which you have to apply all of these techniques, do you put like 3 different eqs on the master Chanel or it doesn’t rally happen that you need to apply them all in the same project? Anyway I was always thinking whether I can put more than one type of eq on master or just stick to one and do all the cuts and boosts using only one?

[@panorama_mastering]

Depends, usually all stereo general EQ i am doing with the sontec 432, if I want to do some fancy M-S or dynamic eq I will use ff-proq3 or michelangelo

[@panorama_mastering]

Oh and it’s rare for me to use more than 1-2 instances of any EQ move

[@DATOKIKO]

whered the time stamps go :o

[@1337murk]

Sounds thin, smeared and harsh on my phone. Had me second guessing my phones response etc until I pulled up Hannes Bieger house tracks and other good references to compare and then i realised the issue is definitely the track and not my phone. Would be really interesting to hear these techniques applied to a track without so many issues, or in a way that fixes the issues rather than everything sounding smeared. I think referencing whilst executing these techniques would have gone a long way towards improving the end result.

[@jhh764]

Agreed I hate a lot of the samples in this song. The kick and clap could be a lot better imo

[@JazzyFizzleDrummers]

You may not be a shill for ozone 11 but you did finally convince me to upgrade from 9. Also whats the name of this track? Its usually in the description but it's not yet.
