This is all fantastically interesting, helpful and informative. I'm learning a lot - and not just from this video but from all your others using Luna. I'm very grateful to you! Luna is the DAW I use and most tutorials about it are technical. Yours are concerned with the the art of mixing and mastering, which is rare. When it comes to mastering, being a newbie, I slap some mastering plugins on the Main bus and run everything through them. Works every time - and I get good results ...I think. So far I haven't overwhelmed my Mac. I haven't yet tried bouncing the mix down to stereo then opening that up as a new and separate mastering project. You're saying here that doing so helps you see/hear the project with fresh ears, and I totally understand how important that is. But aside from that, are there other compelling reasons for doing it? I know it's accepted practice and kind of traditional, already - but I'm not yet convinced enough to try it. I know I'm stubborn.... If you happen to be looking for topics to discuss in your forthcoming videos here, that would be a great subject to tackle and it would help my understanding a lot. In any case, thanks for your excellent teaching!
Nice video. Thanx for the walk-through. Also Inflator is a wave-shaper. Just pointing that out due to your struggle of describing it. lol ... I still use it, but not as much as I once did. I've just recently got Luna. Still trying to wrap my head around it. I've been using Logic and Studio One for awhile.
Fantastic ! Besides all the great step by step, the one thing you'll be happy to know is your tutorials in general really have improved my EARS ~ really grateful for that. When you got out the Bax and the Bx1, I closed my eyes and turned on and off and by gosh, I could actually hear the subtle differences. I'm not in a position to pay for mastering so if and when I do master songs for bandcamp, this video will help a lot....tempted to get the Decibel plug-in, probably gonna do 30 day trial. Will have to read up on the LuFs requirements, etc...best regards and look forward to the next one ! Hey, you could mix one of my songs if you want haha....Peace
@@owlwoodsouth omg really? I would be thrilled! I’ll send you some tracks, and tell me which one grabs you, then can figure out how to send stems. Or, if not too much to ask, peruse jaymichaelharden bandcamp. I should have all files from Raven and Dove on up to most recent. Whatcha think?
@@jaymichaelhardenmusicpage8226 totally up to you. If you think of one that maybe you'd want a different perspective on, just let me know. There is an email in the "about" page here, and you can send something there. Hope all is well!
@@owlwoodsouth Yay! I think I've decided which one. I sent a big long email to a youtube email address, with different song links, but I'm going to send another one, with link to the multi-tracks for 'Light in the Morning', to the email from your webpage. Hope that works!! btw, regret is a river....wow !! not a dry eye in the house :)
Great tutorial, thank you! It helped me understand a mastering flow. I hear some hiss in the beginning and end, is that something that can still be fixed during mastering?
My feeling is that you are taking away what is unike in this song and that is the dynamics between the singing and guitar , and I feel that the whole mix should been done with the tape plugin that would soften it up . i am no professional it's ust my take on it . Very frusrtrated right now . How ever as i said i'm not professional .
Love your explanations, very concise and to the point. Thank you!
Thanks!

Thank you so much, can’t wait to dive into this one tomorrow! Just wanted to leave the comment here for the algorithm asap (:
Thanks man!! Hope all is well!
Ihre Tutorials sind einzigartig! Vielen Dank,
Beautiful song and great video, thanks.
Thanks so much!
The original was a raw mix, but once you started mastering it became very soothing to my ears. Thanks!
Underrated channel! Great job!

One of my favorite demos and an incredible track to use to A/B. So impressed with your explanations and A/B
Great video, thank you!
Sure thing! Cheers!

I'd be down for doing something with one of your projects if you're cool with it? That might be pretty fun!

thanks sir love from bangladesh
Sounds great. The struggles of dealing with home recorded music can be challenging.
The room noise is very loud.
Hi. Love your videos. I'm new to Luna. Do you have any beginner tutorials? If so, I'm in. Thanks. ✌️😊
Great video! do you eq different sections mastering other songs?
Great tutorial, thank you! It helped me understand a mastering flow. I hear some hiss in the beginning and end, is that something that can still be fixed during mastering?
Amazing thanks do you have a mastering with full band link? Please let me know thanks 🙏
Thank you so much for making this video. You explain things so well. Is it ok to send the artist the WAV 48 - 24 bit for upload?
Good Stuff Thnx
