Thanks for the idea about using soft-clippers for loudness.

I love this channel!

[@sageaudio]

Hey Wagner! I'm glad to hear it! As always thanks for watching! SageAudio.com

[@LukeGarfieldMusic]

100% yes to reading your gear's manual. I've missed features and ways of using plugins because I didn't read the manual first. Also, how do you feel about using parallel compression as well to bring out detail and add power?

[@LukeGarfieldMusic]

Forget my question about parallel compression as you addressed it a couple of weeks ago.

[@sageaudio]

Hey Luke! Absolutely - reading the manual saves so much time in the long run. Also sounds good about your question! Thanks for watching! SageAudio.com

Hey Dani! Thanks for watching! Great to hear that you're enjoying the channel! SageAudio.com

I will soon buy Boost from UrsaDSP (which i have seen in some of your recent videos too). Therefore i would be happy if you could cover in depth that maximizer in one of your next videos.

[@sageaudio]

Hey Ricochet! Sounds good! We'll discuss maximization in a future video! SageAudio.com

[@rivella99]

@@sageaudio Looking forward to it! Thanks a lot.

If you have, or ever get a uad audio interface it would be very nice to see some videos about uad plugins. Some of the best stuff I’ve ever used!

[@sageaudio]

Hey David! If we do we'll make videos about them for sure! Thanks for watching! SageAudio.com

It's called 'Cost of Living' by Brent Wood. Thanks for watching! SageAudio.com

[@TheAliosha123]

What a great video again! Thanks so much, please make video about soft clipping and low-level compression

[@sageaudio]

Thanks for watching! That's a great suggestion! We'll make that at some point in the future! SageAudio.com

[@YoBoySangeet]

U send full song on sample or short???

[@sageaudio]

Why are you so wise? Btw loved your work! ❤️ Keep going 👍

Hey Jaysum! Thanks for watching! Great to hear you're enjoying the channel! SageAudio.com

[@Tom-si2bu]

How have I never heard of upward compression? Gonna look into that - if anyone knows any decent affordable plugins to start with, please let me know!

[@rivella99]

Boost (UrsaDSP) MV2 (Waves)

Hey Tom! It's great! Ricochet has some good suggestions! SageAudio.com

What are you trying to tell us with the 4th point? The -7 LUFS version is LOUDER than the -12 LUFS one, which contradicts what you said, i.e., there is no point of mastering louder if a platform normalizes the audio. Confusing.

[@sick3drako]

nah bro, most professional audios are mastered at -8LUFS, it's just an in deep industry standard for color + overall punchiness of the song

[@user-qh3kx3tk8w]

@@sick3drako I don't disagree, what I was saying is the 4th point and its example is confusing.

[@HandHeldHalo]

Yeah, I do see your point as I was expecting that both would sound at a relatively similar volume with the -12 LUFS possibly a little more dynamic but the -7 LUFS version sounded so much louder as if it hadn't been pulled down to -13 LUFS (KZbin Normalization) and level matched to the -12 LUFS version which I thought was going to be the illustration.

[@sick3drako]

@@HandHeldHalo -13lufs be sounding waacck, weeaker, fuck that listen to my mixtape 😈😈

[@markblair478]

I'm pretty sure that KZbin normalization just affects the ENTIRE track's AVERAGE level... so the -7 was bound to be louder than the -12 version... but, at the same exact normalized volume, the more dynamic -12 version will ALWAYS sound better, because it "breathes" a bit more...
