Do a mix breakdown to that song bro sounds amazing especially the level of the vocal and the beat

[@BubbyGalloway]

It’s been an honor working with you Sean! I’ve never been more satisfied with my records! Thank you! 🙏🏻

[@SeanDivine]

Always a pleasure bro... everyone go check out Bubby's new single from the tutorial 🙌 kzbin.info/www/bejne/b3nHe6uXn7CZn80

Dope song, bro!

[@RichAvenueTVChannel]

Hey Sean I been watching you for years now , and couple of time I have reach out to you … I was wondering if you can plz do a full Logic Pro x mixing and master video with rap vocal , song.. chorus , verse , Chorus , verse , outro full song with only wave plugging.. Also with in the video can you please show how to set up for mixing, with levelling… And balance the vocal and instrumental?? I’m new to mixing , I’m an artist.. I have invested over two grand into getting almost all of wave plugging .. And I’ll really appreciate it if you can please put together a video that I can learn off from , and most likely help put me on the right mixing path … From a two track, mixing and master altogether??? Please Sean , I’ll really appreciate it .!!

[@BigStepper313]

@@SeanDivine is there any way possible I can still get the beat say what you wanna say

[@IAMJUSTJAKE]

I had no idea he did any of your mixes lol

[@nhlanhlasithole2899]

I've about 5 years since I started mastering. I've finally started my own mastering business as I've reached a level I'm proud of And it's all because of you and countless on the KZbin. And I'll keep learning. Thank you guys so much.

[@MixedByS]

I haven't stopped playing this video for the song that mix is too clean

[@BubbyGalloway]

Thank you!!!! Come watch the music video.

[@MixedByS]

@@BubbyGalloway I have bro on repeat in my playlist

[@JankoFrancisty]

I would really like to see a detailed mixing process of this song if it's possible.. Especially the compression and the eq part. Thank you❤️

me too

Pin this comment please

[@xIMarcer]

Yesss

[@AhmedWaleed-hp2vr]

Yes please

[@BubbyGalloway]

Me tooo!! This is my favorite song he mixed for me!

[@purepump]

It's nice to hear an actual good song being mixed. So many times tutorials have garbage songs that are so hard to listen to

[@cortextickle]

thank you for making these videos. i've been recording music now for about 3.5 years and like many, started without any knowledge, just ideas in my head. To say the least it's very difficult to achieve a legit studio quality sound that comes off polished next to existing successful mixes out there. Videos like this have helped get me so far. It might just be me but I really want to learn how to mix like they did with early 2000s rock and hip hop. Idk exactly how to describe it but it feels like it's kinda compressed or squished in a way that takes away some of the range in the sound but makes for a super comfortable listening experience. Even the screaming and heavy yelling plus super bright EQ on everything for the rock songs still sounds very warm and gentle to my ears whereas some of these newer mixes are so edgy sounding with audio just cutting through too hard in my opinion. It feels like somehow music production became a volume battle. About 20 years ago give or take a bit everything was sounding so nice, I wish we'd get back to that style.

[@SfikakisStylianos]

0:38 then 20:49 to here the difference. Great result bro!

[@samgoldsberry3029]

Finally a mastering process that someone new like myself can understand. I actually heard the subtle changes. Subscribing.

[@trancephile2412]

i was just about to search for a tutorial about mastering with Waves plugins , suddenly youtube suggested me your video , i think i was so lucky , it was very Helpful thank you so much

[@PorshiaVonne]

Waiting patiently 😊

[@aksproduction]

This mastering chain is just insane …it’s sounds just awesome 👏.

[@DreErdna]

*Magic !!!!!!* You know it’s 🔥 when it makes Sean smile hahaha

[@Dmanrizz]

Yo thank you, you deserve all the success in the world for all the value you provided through all your videos

I just can't miss anything sean always on alert.

[@heartscanproductionmusican5672]

Sean you are a gem in production.You have indeed revulutionalized my pro skills

[@MiguelGonzalez-nx6gn]

Bro this vid is super on point and informative. I literally just mastered a whole song while watching this. I added the Puigtec EQP-1A, VEQ4, CLA MixDown, and IMPusher as well from my usual master chain... Thought its would be overkill but it worked out great! Thanks for the time and effort, you definitely found yourself a new subscriber! Dope!

[@SeanDivine]

Glad it helped Miguel 😁🙌

[@glocktyson351]

straight gems 💎 always paying attention when I tap in

[@itsbrizzobaby]

Dope tutorial! Literally mastered my new single after watching this! Thanks alot Sean! We need a mix tutorial on this same song! Sounds so clean! Thanks once again for all these gems!

[@IAMJUSTJAKE]

I was thinking the same thing!

[@lecuklegendz]

This is real Gold. Thank you master🙌🏽

[@lorin_ipsum]

Hey, I found you some hours again through a Waves-Tutorial and I've been listening through "The Void" and your last album from 2020 - that stuff somehow got a new, very nice vibe I haven't felt anywhere else yet, keep going! Your lyrics ain't cheesy :)

[@SeanDivine]

Appreciate that Veno! Have some new music on the way 🙏

[@bigkevbeats1251]

this run through of your mastering process is a legit cheat code. really helped me in my own process and learning of new tools to help my creating. thank you very much

[@SeanDivine]

Sure thing Kev, glad to help

[@ankeviousoliver4472]

On it. Gotta support my boys channel. Been telling some folks i know in other countries bout this content. Cant wait

[@DIVERZEOFFICIAL]

You are the man. I only was missing about 4 of the plug-ins. So I bought them for like $100 bucks. Waves is having a massive black Friday sale on them and another sale on top of it. The chain sounds insane and I love that I can tweak it to my liking.

[@fg-kj5vk]

The mix turned to wow after using this tools i hope i can get then as well.

[@loosetheartist8033]

We need a studio rack mix of this song too 🙏🏿🙏🏿

[@Reedukayofficial]

Wow. Mix was straight fire! Clean! Great job as usual!

[@SeanDivine]

Bravo Sean just waiting for all your pearls of musical wisdom

[@austinnichols7939]

i hope you guys keep mastering like this!

[@ELMCinc]

Always appreciate you showing your knowledge. I’m waiting to purchase a third mixing course from you. I’m still a work in progress and learned a lot from the first two addition to your videos on YT. 💪🏾 🔥 Thanks again

[@Slysongz_The-illest]

Im an Artist and i get less satisfaction how my vocals get treated and coming across your tips i would love to get your guides and learn to do so on my own. Grateful coming across your lessons

Peace, brother Sean, whenever I think I get stuck with something, you always help me out in the clutch, another good video salute from Buffalo New York 8:22

[@SeanDivine]

My pleasure and glad to help! 🙌

Been watching your videos since 2017 brother learned a lot!! Thanks for continuing to spread the knowledge and push the sonics!

[@nesararecords1987]

Most awaited 💥

[@LETTMusic]

Great video. Hadn't thought to try the G Bus compressor in parallel like that. The L3 multiband limiting also seems awesome. Your videos always have me revisiting the Waves site to see what else I might have to buy... Waves ought to be giving you commission at this point, and not just on your affiliate links.

[@SeanDivine]

appreciate it Lett!

Hey Sean, really learning very useful. Thanks, Bassty from philippines.

Sean that was a gem right here!

[@SeanDivine]

Thanks Dee, glad it helped 🙏

[@brendanhoffmann8402]

That's interesting, I mastered an album last year and used the Aphex aural exciter on the masters. I was looking online and a lot of people say don't do it, use it on individual tracks not the master. I'm still not a very polished producer so I made it to the best of my skill level.

[@SeanDivine]

No rules - if it sounds right, it is right 👍

[@itsdrama2922]

wow thanks alot.Thank you.Learnt alot and i have applied to my master and it is working well.

[@icchisasula7639]

U r the best producer I wish to mix and master like u

[@SeanDivine]

Appreciate that! Hope the videos are helpful

[@vzbeatz1706]

Im in my studio watching this, off rip the mix was great. wow been using L3 since 06 great plug (Blue Diamond)

[@kennyrushmusic1790]

I HAVE NOTHING TO SAY BUT TO THANK YOU SO SO SO MUCH MAY THE LORD GOD KEEP YOU ALIVE FOR US LOVE YOU BROTHER

[@Dollababyy]

great video, the smile you did at the end shows how much you enjoy what you do. 2 questions, 1) Do you send that track to a bus then apply studiorack or do you change the output to a new track and apply studiorack? 2) Do you make sure your mix is limited at a certain db to give you room to master?

[@SeanDivine]

Thanks A :) it's up to you, you can certainly route it to an aux. In this case, since it's just the one audio track and I'm using StudioRack for parallel processing, I placed it directly on the stereo (master) bus. No rules in terms of headroom, I prefer to have at least 6dB of headroom for mastering if possible!

[@Dollababyy]

@@SeanDivine Thanks bro. God bless

[@samkelodlamini1794]

that's great Sean ,my only worry is the pumping issues with the L3.i understand that it works like multiband compressor, so how would you avoid the pumping because i have seen that your priorities and the release are different (all other bands), according to standard it should be the same to avoid the pumping effect, well we sometimes need it in other type of music.
