How Mastering Works in Studio One | PreSonus

[@justincrossmusic]

I’m more and more convinced that Studio One is the best DAW out there. These videos are great resources, Joe. Keep em coming!

[@johnisrael5183]

As far as mastering I do believe this is the best one,, keep in mind, you can go into a regular blank session, bring your WAV file in for each song, and hybrid mix through pipeline with your Hardware

[@johnisrael5183]

And I believe you can use pipeline in this session as well to once you get everything together and you want to export out and loop everything through your Hardware before it goes out

[@ChristRecords2O16]

I agree

[@johnisrael5183]

Best Daws in my opinion Bitwig and Ableton for Producing Cubase 12 and FL Studio and Reaper for Mixing Studio One Proffessional and Reason 12 Mastering

@@presonus hey Joe and the Presonus team. I think it would be a great feature if you could add volume automation to the mastering page. This could be handy for volume automation of sections of a mix you've received from a client in WAV format.. Cheers.. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾

[@TheToneWork]

Every time I watch one of these videos I love Studio One even more. Thanks for all you do.

[@thomaslausen3249]

THANK YOU! I was close to giving up composing music because all my mixdowns always sounded so quiet and it was annoying the hell out of me, and now I just realised that I havent been mastering them cause I didnt even know this mastering page existed in studio one .

[@12OLDROCKER]

This is fantastic.I was thinking I had to take my final Mix somewhere else for Mastering.Even though I'm still just starting to learn about Production, now I realise if I take the time.Most of what I need with my Music, I could do by myself eventually.

[@justwatch5970]

Thanks Joe. Much appreciated, I'm now two weeks into studio one and I'm loving it, I been on cubase for years and I was looking for a DAW that will satisfy me and I'm on studio one professional 5 now, it's going to be my home for many more years to come as long as I live!!

Thanks for sharing! Project is basically all I used Studio One for until recently. I've done some songs in it, sure, but the Project mode is to me one of its major features that set it apart since the beginning.

[@amarahsrabbitry1073]

This is so helpful! I’m making an album right now. I will wait until all of my songs are mixed and then master them at the same time. That way I can evaluate them all as a whole and make them sound a bit related. 🥰

[@blacksaona]

They should implement automatization for projects mastering.

[@presonus]

👍 - Joe Gilder

[@RecordingStudio9]

I totally agree, otherwise, it's just simple song layout.

[@kieranmacfeely]

Totally agree....got Studio One and couldn't believe there was no automation in the Mastering page. It never even occurred to me that a DAW in 2020 wouldn't have automation! Basically makes it unusable in any real world. You're better off opening up a 'Song' page and mastering in there. I actually left Studio One because of this...asked PreSonus about it and they said they had no plans to include automation in the mastering page. Shame, nice DAW otherwise but not usable until they get automation going.

[@6noteblues]

For me, mastering is the final stage in which all the songs in the project (think Album) should be at or near the same volume levels so the entire Album or collection of songs add to the vibe of the Album. To me that means that all the songs blend together like all the singers in a choir.. Yes, one song may be stronger and seemingly louder than the others, but the listener should never have to reach for the EQ or volume knobs of their player for almost each song. For me, the only place to get the song to near perfection is the mixing stage then go to the Project page to blend their overall sounds to each other.

[@poorhouz5051]

@@kieranmacfeely Hey I understand what you're saying. BUT check it.. I do all my automations in the mix trust me it sounds better that way. You won't have to worry about that when you MAster dog!!! Peace Stay Up

[@MrMoogman1]

Thanks Joe. As ever showing how I can get the results I need in a really easy to understand tutorial. Sweet!

[@jameswilkerson8873]

I dont try to master alot. After bouncing, I'll pull a little mud out, cut some rumble, and maybe band limit with Weiss. Using a Karacter Cube, I'll configure it to put harmonics into the signal and thats about it. When mixing, I'll run the track through the Dangerous D/A so I dont do it again at the mastering stage. It makes it so easy to flip back and forth for changes that you didnt notice in the mixing phase.

[@FunkMobbMack]

How does the release knob work in the limiter? If you increase it what effect does it do to the overall track? Thanks.

I thought this whole time that the master bus on the mixing page was me mastering I’d just throw a limiter and some dynamics and it sounds square I DIDNT EVEN KNOW THIS PAGE EXISTED TILL TODAY!!

[@poorhouz5051]

Whatupppp Joe??? Hey quick question. Ok so when I'm done mixing I export my mix as a wave file. I drag the wave file into the Project Page right. Now are you saying you can't add meta info that way or are you saying from the Project page if you select wave file there it won't keep the data??? Curious Peace Stay Up Bro

[@keyboardmatrix4328]

Please put Gain envelope in Project page....It's so so essential for mastering!!!

[@torbenwestergaard]

When sending file(s) from the song page into the project page: is there a way to send more files from the same song into the project page? For example, I have a song where I have a few extra slices to be used as jingles, and when I send it to the project, only the first and primary part transfers. I hope it makes sense!

[@richgouette]

Great stuff, straight & to the point..

[@mannycepeda1]

Hi Joe, I've just acquired PreSonus Interface and it came with StudioOne 5. I've worked with Mixcraft for quite a while but I like the sound of what StudioOne can do. I want to start experimenting with StudioOne so, question, how do I bring the audio tracks from Mixcraft to StudioOne? When I save the files as a folder, it gives me the audio files into that folder. I have a feeling this is where I'm going to get my audio tracks to import into StudioOne. Please advise. Manny

In 4.6, have any of you noticed that when you update the song mastering file from the song page, it does not reflect those changes in the project page? I did not notice this before as any changes I made to the song were subtle. To check if your song changes are being reflected in the project page, try lowering the faders of any track or the master fader significantly in the song page, update the song mastering file, then check the song in the project page. I have been able to duplicate this on an iMac High Sierra and Mojave and new PC Windows 10. Reverting back to 4.5 solved the problem. I believe it's a bug and not my setup because others are reporting this issue too.

So, everyone says aim for -14 LUFS and not more than -1 dB peak, but when I aim for those things, my master sounds clearly quieter than pro or even many indie artists' music. When I aim for the yellow, and maybe a slightly little into the red at the loudest parts, the master sounds loud enough. But it maybe feels a little compressed. I guess the mix isn't great.

You need to have the Professional version to get the project page for mastering. It’s not available for Artist and Prime versions. It’s set up this way so you don’t pay for the mastering section if you’re just producing or recording and have no need for the mastering section.
