WATCH THIS Before Mastering Your Album

[@therealea]

I’ve wanted this videos for MONTHS!!!🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@joshuastevenson5669]

Brooo facts! I searched all over and couldn’t find anything close to how to do this

[@Leakz2.0]

the transition from track 4 to 5 was BEASTY 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@MikeJeezStayTrue]

Literally working on a ep right now . Needed this !!!

[@KillerK1523]

Thank you for this Devvon! 🙏🏾 VERY MUCH looking forward to the technical part of this video!

[@7fingas7]

foreal i need it!

[@itsbrizzobaby]

This is dope! Planning on releasing my first full project and would love for you to do technical stuff and how to make sound cohesive! Would really appreciate it!!!! Love your videos!

[@WattyWrld]

This is crazyy I never thought about such a simple technique

[@nadpitt]

Thanks for blessing my next album. On the real, there’s a ton of content on the web for this song you make yours efficient and fun. It helps that you’re a fire musician

[@KemuelParham]

can’t wait to see the follow up video on the technical side of this method! definitely curious to see how the mastering process is this way

[@oldneab7854]

Your doing good work here I never thought of put a whole album together like this great content.

[@blaqyung8393]

Jesus..... Studio One is nailing....

[@PatrickObiang]

It's like the tutorial i just needed. Thanx So Much! BRAVO!

[@DanEeePy2]

This is so clutch! I'm bouta make myself this as a template in logic 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿

[@ogmexzy2929]

I have a album coming this year , I needed this video .

[@ElGuapoPenderhughes]

BROTHA Your a lifesaver i was stuck at the Marker part and how ti bounce greatly articulated thank you.

[@jwally94]

Great tutorial! So are the songs already mixed and mastered/limited for loudness before coming into this project? Thanks 🙏

[@primee5730]

An idea would be to gain stage each song on this project.

[@FreddyFaith]

Man this Jawn was fire can’t wait for the more in depth vid 🔥🙏

[@ProdbyBL7]

Really good video, I was just expecting you to show if you put anything on the master bus to keep everything at same level or if you really just adjust the faders

[@MixedByTyBandit]

Thank you!!! This was so needed! Please definitely make a follow up technical video of this

[@WillyBAudio]

This is what I’ve been waiting for!! Awesome tutorial! For years I’ve been wondering if it’s possible to master albums in Pro Tools. Looking forward to the next video!

[@Noan_B]

I’ll add this to my workflow for sure. One thing for marking the export area. While playback is stopped, you can click the first marker, then hold shift and click the end marker. Thus you doesn’t have to bother to zoom in and exactly hit that marker. But anyway I learnt a lot of you and now I’m independently earning enough money to live of my craft. I recently quit my job due to that success. Love from Berlin, Germany

[@codyfromthecouldersack7943]

This was fire! Much more practical work flow. Is there a way to automate the different song BPM’s within the transition? (FL user)

[@quar7]

Man I been trying to figure this out for the longest! Thx 🙏🏾

[@HelpMeDevvon]

I kno this type of info isn’t really out there and figured hey lemme just show ya how I go about it!!

[@quar7]

@@HelpMeDevvon appreciate it.

[@JUsTFoRKiXx619]

This was much needed, thanks. Quick question: do you apply your mastering chain to all of the tracks universally (like on the master bus of the session), then bounce each song individually? Or does each song get its own mastering chain?

[@friele2001]

each song has it's own mastering chain, different songs call for different mastering moves

[@vancenichols9490]

Awesome content! It's very helpful as always! Thanks!!!

[@rexfrm4s]

You drop videos at the perfect time EVERYTIME 🫡

[@donnydarko7624]

I feel producing an album and thinking about the flow is kind of a lost art

[@7fingas7]

thank u pls make the next part of this. are the songs in your session already mastered!!!!

[@TJOnDaBeat]

Would really love to get an effects pack with all the sounds you use for your album transitions 🙏🏽🤲🏽

[@HelpMeDevvon]

Oh wow really??!

[@TJOnDaBeat]

@@HelpMeDevvon yeah

[@TJOnDaBeat]

@@HelpMeDevvon would love that

[@OVBeats.]

Love this! I needed to know this, thank you 🙏🏽🫡

[@iamdjkure]

this is a gem.

[@franciscocampora2180]

I really needed this video

[@typhillip6610]

So when doing the transition technique you showed do you decide how you want the songs to transition first? or do you space the tracks out first and make the transition length based on that? if that makes sense

[@dagr8s815]

IMO do the transition first you can always drag the next song to the exact location/ start time you want once you know how long that transition is going to be

[@tyreemorrison732]

I have some questions: So say I have all my records mixed and ready for mastering. When I bring all of those records into a new session to add any soundbites or transitions; am I adding more saturation to that new session so that the soundbites/transitions get the same treatment as my records? Or am I just adding more saturation on top of what was added in my original mixes? How do you get those soundbites and transitions to match the quality of your mixes without adding more saturation/buss processing. Bc wouldn’t that distort the mixes in a new session? I’ve always wondered, and I hope I’m making sense!

[@mindslikemine.8789]

so sick, thank you!

[@kwamalascience]

that transition was STOOPID 🎯

[@ogmexzy2929]

Are you processing anything in this particular session . I see the songs were labeled as “ mix “ and not master or is that the master . And did you use landr or master plan on any of these songs ?

[@orianrosemusic5315]

pure gold

[@trapmoneyremy]

Hi Devvon, have you had any issues at the cutoff point in between songs where there may be clicks? when i referenced metro boomin superhero villain album, i noticed there was like milliseconds of space in between. Wanted to get your take?

[@jonesnyirenda]

Nice video. Just a quick question. Does the temple of the session matter? Or maybe there is a need to automate the tempo to match the tracks so the FX that you add can fit in nicely? Is the tempo really important in this case?

[@LilAngL]

Hi my friend, tempo is important in a song and for you to stick to one tempo is more important. You don't want your song to go slow then fast. I personally consider music to be space and time. You also have to think about the future of it in your song. For example, when I know that I want delay throws in my song every other bar I plan for this in my production. When I am still writing the song. This is not something that you want to really fix in a mix because again music is time and space. Once you decide to cram things up later in the mix it won't sound as good. Tempo, time, and space is also a reason why I think music tends to sound muddy. Specially with reverb. Even if you have a timed reverb, but if your vocals are off grid it will still sound muddy. If you work with vocals, make sure your vocals are aligned to the grid as tight as possible. Again because music is time and space.

[@jonesnyirenda]

@@LilAngL Yeah I'm aware of the importance of tempo during the production & mixing stage. On the mastering side especially when you mastering more than one track in the same session, is tempo a huge factor when mastering? most times we rarely apply time-based tweaks during mastering

[@LilAngL]

Tempo is important throughout the whole process of the song making. @@jonesnyirenda If you started writing a song at 120 BPM, your master will need to be 120 BPM. You can use time base Fx to change the feeling of things, but stick to just one tempo throughout.

[@HelpMeDevvon]

So in pro tools u can create different tempo from the tempo ruler and pick what sections have a specific tempo so yea u can have the tempo changes marked

[@Triggmixedit]

Great vid . One thing u had wrong .. u must have the transitions highlighted aswell to have them bounced together wit the track

[@majorgoldmaniv]

Are your master bus settings being used in this master session or just in the individual track sessions?

[@mnash3]

That seems like the hard way. I do all of my masterimg in IK Multimedia's T--Racks. I can not imagine mastering without it.

[@sav2wavy439]

so when i’m exporting do i export the tracks individually or just as one whole audio ?

[@defyer7759]

Hey Devon, starving for a shortcuts in pro tools video🙏🏻

[@GabyMillz]

please i have a question, did you run all the various mastering chains for each track on their separate inserts?

[@valliore.fm1]

Question! When working in this layout, would the tracks need to be the final mixes and work the entire Master for all of them then & there, or maybe do the initial stages of the Masters individually to then bounce and finish using this layout mostly to adjust volume and final compressions etc?

[@SevanGuitars]

Not sure if you can export between specific markers in FL though.

[@SoleDidIt]

Ok! So it seems that you do master the tracks in their individual sessions, but you look at mastering the album in a different way then that?! I’ll be looking forward to the technical details of this, cuz you said you brought the mixes into this sessions, but did these already go through a mastering process for the tracks to be ready for DSPs individually?! Great info!

[@GCrrc2]

Do you have any presets or templates for Reason Studios?

[@malikisrael9355]

did you have to automate the bpm for every different song while doing this or it doesn't matter ?

[@rukkuskeylow916]

Do you do a tempo change at each marker?

[@eleveneleven570]

Thanks bro

[@domyon]

bro is a genius. if you're reading this, ily! #Sincerity

[@Koosa-kq2hv]

More people should use the Studio One Project Page for mastering😎

[@maddfrequency2294]

So are you bouncing the entire album at once?

[@deshawnjimerson659]

🔥🔥

[@officialstanza_]

Help Me Devvon Fr!

[@TheBlackJewelz]

To be clear-these are “mixes” in this session, NOT mastered tracks, correct?

[@jReze]

Yup. It’s the session where all these mixed tracks are being mastered.

[@emiete]

Maybe, if you would be willing help us with the meta data bro.👊

[@makethemix]

Love this! 🎶

[@prod.xx808xx]

W content 😂😂😂

[@dervon]

wouldn’t this make all the tracks have the same BPM?

[@HelpMeDevvon]

You can change the bpm in protools within markers in the tempo Euler up top no prob!

[@SaniBanks]

My God, mastering in Studio One is 1000x times easier. Why torture yourself 😩
