Dude... seriously. Where the HELL have you been all this time in my life. Your tutorials are friggin’ eye opening to me as a beginner producer. Straight to the point, no fluff all action. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. I’ve learned so much already from the few videos I have watched. I lost my inspiration because I felt like I was hitting a wall. This stuff inspires me to sit back down and do things. I feel that the brits just know how to deal with and teach music. It’s in your guys blood.

[@LakshayKukreja11]

Great video, Streaky! Sharing the load between 3 limiters sounds so much better than one limiter doing all the lifting. Just a Pro Tools trick for comparing different plugin chains - have the first chain in Inserts A-E, and the second chain in Inserts F-J. Now have the first chain engaged and second bypassed. Then toggle between the chains by pressing Shift+2 (bypass/engage Inserts A-E) and Shift+3 (bypass/engage Inserts F-J) at the same time!

[@R3BBiT]

Love it! Always appreciate your positive vibe and knowledge 🧠

[@Itsallawesome]

This makes such a massive difference its insane!

[@borndrumming1972]

This technique not only creates the volume that you need but it also does some sonic enhancements (to the high end especially) that I would have grabbed an eq or an aural exciter type tool for. Superb! Again, Thank You!

[@krazees2002]

Thanks for sharing your knowledge man! It’s definitely been helping me loads.

[@andyjackson3891]

Amazing. Just stumbled across your channel today Streaky, and watched a few videos. Great chat, and never condescending. Keep them vids coming!

[@binary-me]

thankyou, Streaky. This has just helped me even out a bass guitar track cleanly !

[@handwoundpickups6555]

Great work Streaky thanks👍

[@roogrey]

This answered a question I didn't even know I wanted to ask! I now feel like I was 'making do' and am delighted that I no longer have to! Brilliant. Thanks, Streaky!

[@phobik7226]

Also another great trick is to add a soft clipper before the limiter to shave off the peaks and give more headroom. Amazing video as always Streaky thanks alot ❤❤

[@nepntzerZer]

i wouldn't clip the master unless it sounded good. i would clip channels and busses.

[@norand022]

End even better if you add Transient Shaper (and boost attack) just before the Clipper, to make more punch without losing headroom! 🙂

[@LT3D]

I like the idea of gain-staging the track using different plugins. Great stuff!

[@seanlucas1636]

Right on man! Thanks!

[@yocanon3818]

I do this with so many other applications (saturation, compression, etc.) but why have I never thought to stack limiters?!?! This is gold.

Thanks Streaky 🙌🏽🙌🏽

Really helpful thanks, I've been looking for a way to do this for a while!

AWESOME!!! Thank You!!!

[@JasonBuffin]

Excellent video as usual. I love to use the Waves L1 in the limiter chain to shave a couple db. It's a classic and has that sound that everyone knows

[@JohnWDisco]

Very interesting, I work mainly on House/Techno tracks. Tend to just use a L2 on the end of the mastering chain. I will try this and listen to the difference. I really enjoy your tips and tricks! Thank You!

Night and day. I also made good experiences with stacking plugins and doing only few GR but more output volume. A good combination also is a clipper before a limiter and the last 1db with the Weiss mm1 limiter at the end. Cheers

I strongly believe that you have shared this technique ( or mentioned ) in of your videos and applied it in my last song. Totally satisfied with the result. Nowhere professional standart but stepped up my game. Thank you!!!! Also you guys can try TDR Limiter 6 GE. It has compression, clipper and limiter included. So a chain of dynamic that almost does the same thing. Try that one.

Thank you for the trick Streaky. If I may have a little advice/ request: please level the voiceover with the sound from your DAW, so it doesn't hit our ears with additional dBs when you hit Play ;) Again, I love your videos. Cheers!

[@christophermeraz-mata]

I subscribed. This is your best video ever Streaky. Make another video where you explain why your name is Streaky, and show us how you would master something totally different, like jazz ensembles.

[@markhunstone2747]

Would i be correct in assuming this provides a better average for the final limiter? Great info as always!

[@SleepNoMore720]

Suggestion. Can you possibly make a video how to set up multiple tracks for a full album mastering session and what's the best way to go about it, tips, printing etc..I appreciate it.

[@b.scribe5999]

On the Fabfilter Pro L, it seems like -6db gain reduction is the most I would want to go before it starts to really sound like crap. I could be wrong, but it works for me.

[@NickB-md1oy]

Streaky for times man of the year

[@ARCASIAUK]

Love that track! Where can I find it?

[@assshakerstudios549]

Yep I've always done this! Spread out your limiting between 3(minimum)limiters! But also(for certain tracks)try using a clipper or two in there and see how that works. Weather it be replacing 1 limiter with a clipper, at the beginning, or adding a clipper in addition to the 3 limiters! Try different stages, orders, etc., and see what works best for your workflow, and individual track/album!

[@Heartbeatzofficial]

Hey Streaky, could you make a video about mastering an album or ep and how to get the songs to sound cohesive when the mixes can sound quite different? Love your work, keep it up!

[@stiptreezy8481]

You may want to look into metering, also I find that having a standard or go to peak level when mixing can help with this as well, not that I have tons of experience with it but once I started paying attention to those things it seemed to help my projects have similar dynamics.

[@PharaohLawLess1]

I always set the Izotope limiter to -1.3 db and I’ll use 2 or 3 limiters. And use an Sonnox Inflatur too

[@dperren39]

Thank you for your videos, they are really a great help. I notice a lot that there are mixed feelings when it comes to how much (if any at all) headroom to leave on the mastered file for conversion. some swear by "at least 1 db of headroom" but most professionals it seems will use every bit of headroom there is, even to the point of occasional clipping. does it really matter to save that much head room for conversion, and lose the potential to gain more level, or is it bogus? lol thanks again.

[@apoplexiamusic]

This a great tutorial! One limiter with M/S i really like is the Brainworx XL2

[@ryanfishel9394]

I just went through all my limiters to find one with M/S and that's exactly what I'm testing now. I rarely use the XL2 but I think this will definitely be a go-to now. Already my sides are sounding great.

[@definty]

Goodhertz Sale is On!! finishes on 30th Nov 2020.

[@jellewierda3828]

Streaky, have you ever used high frequency limiting? And if you did, you tend to boost the high frequencies as a standard setting, how did balance it? Great content man thanks! Greetz Jelle

[@stiptreezy8481]

Another great tip! I have stumbled across a few videos recently as well talking about using soft clipping as a way to increase volume combined with limiting, would be curious to know what your opinion is on this or if you think limiters are a better choice?

[@Streaky_com]

Both depends on the mix

[@Barncore]

Also known as "cascading limiters". Great tip!

[@ertugrullgul]

Hi Streaky nice video, what do you think about the old cube-tec loudness maximizer? I've heard that it is the best in the game and there seems not much information about it.

[@prodbyma1036]

can i use 3 pro L2 instead of using three different limiters?

[@franktriton6874]

Gearslutz has a topic on Digital limiters quality test if you want to check what exactly every plugin does, some are super clean, some introduces funky to nasty distortion... Now a question: why do you preffer to insert a series of limiters instead a series of soft/hard clipping? Great video as usual!

[@uniopetitio2276]

Nice shoutout for Goodhertz 👍

[@binary-me]

No pro, but, if in logic and not got theses limiters, I found quite a few flavours of limiter can be got from the stock compressor, no compress , just different models and and use the input gain and the limiter part

[@sunshinestutube]

Hi Streaky.., love the channel pal... Can I ask about your plugin signal flow?.., maybe you could do a video on the subject of which 'jobs' you usually tackle first... I've seen one of your videos where you use EQ to remove unwanted subs below 20Hz / push the highs slightly. One where you use multi-band compression to then tighten the subs. Another where you brighten the highs slightly in the sides to add width. This video one using 3 limiters. Another using dynamic EQ to 'excite' & add movement to the mix...... I count 7 plugins from those videos - Is it normal to have so many on the Master?.... Is there a solid 'running order' you stick to when doing these?.., (& what would be your thinking behind that?) Where would a 'character' plugin like the 'J37-Tape' come in the chain?. Say you have a mix ready to work on, peaking at a healthy low level....., what (& in which order)., are the steps to take it from that low level stage.., up to 'done'...? Cheers pal.., sorry if this is question overload!..., again, love the channel, pure gold.

[@MrMindmist]

I put a limiter on the like button and cut 2db on the subscribe. cheers.

[@Kronique]

What about saturation plugins and how to use it while mixing?

[@levvymaciek3654]

Like YouR videos . Help Me a lot 😎

[@TWEAKER01]

From memory, when the Massey Limiter came out Steve Massey implied that it truncates or rounds its output, as he's steadfastly opposed to dither. Which makes one wonder if it even runs correctly in a floating point environment.

[@rockostiffredi4276]

I personally never go over 3 dB on any software limiter. Just gets too crushed and starts to fold in on itself.

[@mdcmusic2]

Can u pls make a Shadow Hills video? Always a good content in your videos! Thx

[@MePeterNicholls]

I’ve used multiple compressors but not delved in to multiple limiters

[@Plaw01]

Quick question on Ableton hope you can help. Have stuck a VU meter on my mixbus and its showing -0.3 which is to quiet and means I really need to crank up Fabfilter Pro-L to get a decent level. Rather than individually changing the level for each instrument, can I just slap a utility as first effect on the Mixbus with a gain of 2 so as to get it to hover around 0 LUFS?

[@manteuro]

does this work well with oxford inflator?

[@rollingrock5143]

Stacking limiters is like stacking compressors. Limit shredding is a art.

[@themagicianofsound]

What I'll mention here may not be directly related to your video (by the way thanks for this great advice, again!), but you may find me funny here, an interesting science would be to do mastering for people talking on KZbin to optimize the dynamics and "life" in the voice, and the perceived loudness as well (to get one as good as yours haha but on all channels). Maybe that could be more catchy for the listeners to have an optimized voice sound, but I am guessing that we would need some psychologists to assist making the right things and sound. If some studies can show a difference in the number of views or likes with some testing subjects, it can become really an interesting science! Maybe I'll start working on that then haha! Thanks for the advice, much appreciated! Best Regards from your friend François in Montreal, Canada! 🎼🃏🎶🎵🙏😁🌠

[@thebetterspidey6115]

Hey Streaky, I commented this in your previous video also - when you did the dynamic EQ processing to get excitement out of a track would you recommend doing this before or after mixbus compression? Asking because I primarily glue my mix during the mixing stage. Thanks.

[@Streaky_com]

[@littlestudio1287]

Great! I am going to use the same limiter in 3 instances but with different presets like vintage, clean etc, is it O.K.?

[@DaveChips]

+1 I use same limiter with different flavours... Example licking peaks with "Bus" option... Gives a nice rounded bottom end... And finishing with clean or aggressive mode on top. Sometimes even putting some of compressor into brickwall mode to extract flavours from them maybe introduceing a bit of lookahead to control peaks. Remember there r no rules if it sounds good, it is good.

Usually I'll put 2 pro L2's but this makes me wanna use different limiters as well 🙃. By the way, what dB true peak would you suggest for spotify? Usually I go for -1.15 dB but saw you using -0.1 dB. I'd love to hear your opinion and knowledge on that ❤

[@apoplexiamusic]

I don’t remember who said it, but it was a reputable sound engineer… Turns out true peak for music was never important, only for film, tv and podcasts where the dialogue is the focal point

[@omnionmedia]

cant say this is a 1 to 1 comparison as you color the sound with different limiters. Does the theory hold up with 3 pro l's on the same settings vs 1? that would be a 1 to 1 comparison :) i know that's not to point with mastering but still.

Streaky my dude you said you gon spill everything so I have a suggestion on an (at least I think) very important topic. I'm currently at a point in my "career" where I really trust my skill and me doing a really good job at what I do. But especially in mastering (you can get guys like Chris Gehringer for 225$): How much should you be charging people if you haven't made a name for yourself yet, and how do you get a solid base of clients started?
