What is Mastering and WHY is it Important?

Many thanks to Sam for taking the time to explain this most important step in the production of radio ready music

@21:21 I always cringe when I see producers choose arbitrary frequencies like 4463.3 If you follow the mathematical laws of harmony that pythagoras told us about then your masters will sound cleaner.

Absolutely loved spending the day talking studio techy stuff. And our music sounded great on Sams new Dutch and Dutch 8C's monitors.

Let me say as sincerely as humanly possible... Thank You! Both of you (All of you to include whomever is bts making this happen). I just watched this and then re-watched the previous video, and I don't think Anyone else has gone into this depth in the KZbin realm. I can't express enough how valuable I think this is to the greater 21st century DIY audio community that may Never get a chance to step into a Commercial Studio or work directly with an actual Mastering Engineer in a dedicated suite. This generation has access to Tools that we would have killed for, at budgets that we would have believed impossible. Yet they lack the Industry Infrastructure and access to the fraternity of experts that awaited anyone who actually got past the gatekeepers of that bygone era. Your channel, and Quest, is doing an incredible job at bridging that divide. So again... I thank you.

Those are very kind words and we agree wholeheartedly with your observations which you have shared so eloquently. Thank you for watching and sharing your thoughts.👍

I like Sam's sweater! :)

It comes to something when one of the main KZbin guru's of music production, someone you have followed and learnt from over the years, makes a comment on your video...... and it's about our mastering engineers jumper!!!!!! Love it. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@themakingofmaybenever1984]

Mind you it is testament that these professionals still check out small channels like ours. Thank you and hope you enjoy our 3 old farts journey
