Bruh!!! Could you please do a beat mix from start to the end. Please please

[@yuricprimer4223]

oh hi ok xoi see ijeejehrheh

[@eroknrwton]

Hey @waynewav if the visual levels are peaking, but the music sounds good, isn’t that fine or am I missing something?

[@barneycarniperfitz1915]

Listen up all you Ditherers. This is important. If you are learning how to record WavyWayne is the place to go. I’ve been pouring over the internet for years and I can tell you from a point of wisdom that there are countless mixers, masterers and ditherers that have infinite knowledge of recording but there are very few teachers. Just because you know things doesn’t mean you have the ability to impeccably impart that knowledge to others. You have to be a teacher to do that. WavyWayne is that teacher. He just might be the top of the list of individuals who have the ability to give you his knowledge in a way that you can actually utilize it with minimum confusion. We all know that people are born with the ability to play a musical instrument. We all know that people are born with the ability to sing. In the same way teachers are born with this gift of teaching. WavyWayne has this gift outright. I’m not telling you to avoid other tutorials. I’m saying that if you want the best the internet has for free, awesome learning WavyWayne is the place to go. Don’t take this lightly and don’t hold the fact that he does rap almost exclusively against him. (Yea, Wavy. I can joke too) Copy and paste this so others will know. Thanks Wavy!

This is a fact 💯🎯

[@davejohnsonmusic]

You can also create another Aux track that all your tracks and busses are routed to and then feed that into the SubMaster (or MixBus as I label it). This allows you to create volume automation that will hit your compressor on the SubMaster. So during choruses for example, you can automate the aux track level going into the SubMaster to hit the compressor a little harder to get some more aggression.

[@stanton977]

you're the best pro tools teacher on youtube!!! I had no idea you couldn't change the level on your master fader. was wondering why my mixes weren't as lit as they should be!!! THANK YOU!!!!!! YOU'RE THE MAN!!!!!

[@mkallend]

Very helpful - thanks! Although I feel like I’ll have to watch it five times to fully understand. We all learn at our own pace.

[@psyderdj]

Thanks so much for this info! I've been trying to copy a Pro Tools workflow into Cubase and was wondering why it sounded so different, the post fade FX on master fader is totally why, I wish I saw this hours ago!

[@doc31648]

this made a lot of sense...i need to start using submasters again...thx man

[@blackthefreethinka5072]

Maaaaan… I was a terrible masterfader. I knew sumn wasn’t beating right. 😂💯☑️

[@blackgezus5343]

Keep dropping them jewels... You the reason I enrolled in Full Sail

[@itzyaboybugz]

Just got my SM7B and love it compared to old TLM103 Can’t believe it!

[@blackstallionbeatz5423]

Yo Wavy Wayne thanks for the tutorials man. You teach me more than any other channel. Keep it up bro

[@ChaceBonanno]

Using the submix, you also can print in real time by recording to the print track, and you use reference tracks that aren’t routed through the submix.

[@BorisDiRocco]

Big thanks about the brilliant lesson, really important understand post fader inserts about the master.

[@leftofcenter4]

Nice bro, cause my PT master fader has been clipping red, this opens up more options to deal with that issue

[@SnowboardKid375]

Wavy out here giving analog signal flow for pro tools 😭😭😭 You're the goat Wavy! Keep doing what you're doing!

[@waynewav]

Yessir.

[@tulskijpryanic]

It's normal to use master to adjust the level. Because Protools use 32 bit floating point mixer since 2016. You can experiment with this. Generate 0 dbFS signal on track, set channel fader to +10 and master fader to -10. And it wiil be OK on the output. You should only care to prevent overload on master, because it will provide distortion in DAC.

[@OfficialTheRealM.A.D]

The beginning tho😂.also nice new intro

[@waynewav]

Thanks fam!

[@apollospyrol7168]

I was like what😂

[@Victory_Abayo]

Thank you Wavy! You da best! 🤙🏿 Blessings! 🙏🏿

[@alligator6985]

Bro, i feel like shit, but seeing your videos inspire me and makes me feel better, good vibes

[@Atticus_Moore]

thank you so much! i kept running into the issue of a particular track not being quite the volume that i want it to be but when i get it where i want it, it would peak everything else. putting a submaster fader into a submaster is genius!

[@MegaIpman]

Love your channel bro. I've learned allot of different techniques to make my music go smooth. Thanks a million Boss

[@waynewav]

Right on fam!

[@MMACKIN]

feeling the new intro

[@waynewav]

Thanks fam!

[@melodyman9162]

Love all your vid brother. Thank you so much for all you do. I was wondering if there was a way to lock a floating fader on you screen. Meaning let's say I wanted the master fader to always be on the screen without ever changing the fader as I choose another floating fader without hitting shift to bring up another floating fader?

[@TheSlyProfessor]

@8:15, you still have a compressor insert on the master, so I think what you're saying is true only if you didn't have a compressor insert on the master

[@Curtis-von_Hagt]

Good explanation Mr Wayne, like always

[@vx363]

I wonder how you could use post fader to your advantage

[@Killdrama]

Man haven’t seen video yet but thank u it’s all I need with my skill set is mixing n mastering n my protools

[@atgred]

I use it as a trim master fader to check the internal level of the mix engine.

[@MIKOMADGICAUDIO]

@8:46 invaluable tip to prevent clipping!

[@milasstorm]

You are awesome. Learning a lot & gettin a laugh at the same time.

[@ScottyKMusic]

Wavy Wayne you saucy s.o.b. you!!! Thank you for taking the time to help us! Your videos are incredibly helpful

[@xoatsuryoku9960]

Gems every time .. appreciate you bro

[@YungGunzman]

Thankx homie 🤟🏾

[@waynewav]

My pleasure

[@JoelWard1]

Saying that you should never touch the fader on the mixbuss master is a bit short-sighted. It is quite classic to drive the 2buss inserts 0.5-1dB when going into choruses etc. It might not change the level, but it will make the compressor (if any) react a bit more, giving you the feeling of a more powerful chorus. And I really mean like 1dB at the most :D

[@Mirato_07]

helped me so much!! currently learning post-production for film and I had forgotten everything that's been taught so far :')

[@ryangreer5]

where did you go to school

[@bkisolutionsinc4985]

you done blewup , good to see you Prospering!! Salute...

[@Prymedagudda]

The new intro live as hell big bruh RT!

[@itzyaboybugz]

I only turn my master fader down At very end of my mix for mastering. I will watch over all levels and try to say between 3-6db etc. for headroom so normally turn MF down -2 threw -4db

[@dashondtm]

Good afternoon big brother, Thank you for today's inspiration & motivation 🙏

[@NATEDOGGYSTL]

You sick wit the intros!! HAHAHAA 💯💯

[@tom_mazuel]

The shift+alt shortcut helped me a lot, thx man !

[@Yosoynady]

Bro thank u I learn so much . Do u have any videos about preparing to master song and what are final steps for final mix

[@Stbnfr]

Hey man even im not to much in to rap and hip hop music production I like your videos very much I like your perspective and your ninja pro tools techniques ! Haha

[@ronalddavis6363]

Very informative and easy to understand. Thanks Wavy. Great job.

[@jjtweed-music]

Thanks again Wavy! Very informative. This man deserves some props now!

[@suedemillionsasabdullsbeatspro]

Stop laughing at us producers…sometimes this pro tools shit is hard lol

[@flamindigo]

amazing stuff - extra master faders is something i've just started hearing about.

[@jhopmusictv]

Wavy always coming with the heat!! Good info man!!💯💯

[@jdigital1]

Good Stuff Wayne! This was a very necessary video. 👍🏽

[@jakelucasmusic]

How crazy is it that Pro Tools makes you do this? I’m getting tired of Avid lately 😅

[@lowwcookproduction5845]

The greatest KZbin video intro of all times 😆 🤣 😂

[@jhopmusictv]

Lol..I said the same thing!!🤣🤣

[@RoyaltyMAD]

That new intro video is sooo fire!

[@waynewav]

Thanks fam

[@smoothhittazamir9532]

thank a lot man, can this be done on Pro Tools First? I got it free with my interface, thanks

[@samjohnson6515]

Hey Wayne, I like the sub master fader bus, I like to do my fades on an acapella and instrumental aux or (HD an audio track for input monitoring option) to be able to have separate fade for vocals and instrumental. With a sub master bus I could sync the two tracks reverb and delay fades. Thanks for the ideas, great production value to your video.

[@waynewav]

That’s a great idea too!

[@Braillionaire]

Wayne the truth! I been using the Master Fader wrong for YEARS Lol

[@KontrabandP]

Can u do One of these videos for logic

[@Bashanvibe]

I wonder if I can apply this to LPX🤔

[@caprihomie]

[@lloyddarbon5034]

The video aint even started yet and i'm 'liking' it :X

[@SandauxBeats]

So helpful, man! Thank you! Subscribed!

[@chandlersedat3986]

If you didn't want to adjust each individual track to change the volume, couldn't you just turn the volume up or down on your submaster fader?

[@billesposito2112]

Huge! Never knew it was post on the MF. I always use a Mix Bus anyways but good to know. I'm new to Pro Tools I been recording with LUNA for years. I think I like Pro Tools better now that I got the routing lingo down with the bus 1-2 (stereo) instead of Send A or Send B. Exporting with send FX was a lot simpler in LUNA also.

[@TrendFusionNetwork]

Bro you the man

[@MrGsmith333]

Shout out from Spokane Washington USA 🇺🇸 Thanks for your hard work

[@STxFisherman]

[@shaunblack3142]

[@natan_abdala]

Good stuff man! Thanks

[@ukubeatz]

Your video's are super helpful, thank you so much!

[@Reimiyuto]

[@danaparsons854]

[@bigglb]

Bro 😭😭 i been wondering why my songs sound lower when on streaming platforms than hearing from my files on my phone.. i been raising the master fader thinking my overall output was gonna be loud now i gotta erase everything 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@randymx]

Greetings! Great job, one question wich keyboard for use in Pro Tools do you recommend?

[@precisionsoundworksstudio]

Wavy-Gang! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Donzgalore]

So should the plug ins be on the master fader or the sub master???

[@Russlld]

This was very helpful @Wayne.wav! Stay encouraged!

[@aleisterjames]

This is some sharp shooter stuff you're dropping here. Some stuff I've been doing for years, but some other things that I'm going start doing stat. 🔫

[@emoryjamaal4924]

Question!? what if I have vocal tracks already routed to a bus? do I Bus- out the bus to achieve the same volume fade out w/o effecting any plugins? and how can I fade - out an entire song without touching the master fader if the beat is still playing beyond the end of the vocal performance.
