@@sweedmusic2166 yeah? he is not thoughtful or well spoken i guess haha. but he isn't a mastering engineer. He is a recording/mixing engineer for metal
The 'Loudness Potential' is the best thing about this video I think. We've all been confused in the past by 'why does my piano and vocal song sound twice as loud as the full band/orchestra song?' But he explains this very well. I'd never considered the phase from wide tracks making things quieter. Also mid range verse, high end or low end was interesting. These are great videos.
Loudness potential? Brilliant point. Some songs can't be as loud as others and still maintain their personality, core, heart, soul. Thanks, amazing point. When I mention this in negotiations with clients you will be in my heart.
This is exactly what is needed & has been missing from other Mastering Tutorial Videos. Thank you to Jonathan Wyner & iZotope for sharing this information. 'I Am Listening' =)
Perfect explanation of mastering! I am music listener for more than 45 years and have great interest of making good sound from a famous professional like mr. Jonathan Wyner! And all that high class aducation for free! I am from Sofia, Bulgaria. There are so many studios in Sofia, very well equped, but all they work as "secret societies". I am very grateful to mr. Wyner and professionals like him. Having this information music fans will increase their listening abilities! And highly appreciate his perfect english! Thank you very much Jonathan!!
Watching as many videos on what mastering even is, is a great idea for those of us trying to make our mixes sound mastered while mixing. It helped me to realize I'm making my elements work together while mixing, while also creating a vibe. When I master, I'm trying to push/pull that vibe until it becomes something you really feel no matter what you listen on.
I have seen so many videos on mastering, but this one is by far the best in explaining the basics of mastering. Thanks to Jonathan's speaking skills I'm going to watch all his episodes on Are You Listening...thank you iZotope for making this series available.
Great stuff! I've been using Ozone since version 5. I'm running 8 advanced now and LOVE IT. I use it in my mixing and mastering. Even though I won a Grammy for mastering one project, I still learn something every time I sit down to do it. I'm eager to soak up what I can from this series. Thanks!
Thank you for this. I hope more people get to see these videos and then realise that Izotope is the absolute goto software for anyone who wants to create great audio.
im 3 minutes in and i understand more about mastering than what i was able to gather in 3 days of nonstop making my first track in DAW and Googling. Amazing work, this sets the standard for how educational videos should be made.
Beautifully said friend, well done! Looking forward to more videos. Izotope, you guys rock! Your plugins are so easy to use but somehow very in depth and intricate, it really is amazing and appreciated by many. 🙏🙌🏼👏☝️💪
I am listening, carefully... to you! I like what I hear so far because for the first time someone is encouraging/empowering me to become better at mastering, rather than insinuating that I can only trust the task to the experts (mastering gods). Thank you!
Jonathan, Great video! I’ve watched a lot of videos on this topic trying to learn but never really understood what they meant. Until now, thank you for making it easier to understand.
Everyone watching this should subscribe and hit the notification bell, immediately. This is by far one of the best sources for pro mixing and mastering education on the net. Respect.
I do a fair amount of mixing for broadcast, and it basically has to be “mastered” when I’m finished with a mix - I understand the difference between a mix engineer and a mastering engineer pretty clearly, but I am also working towards achieving a mastered result by the end of my product. I’m very excited to learn from this series and try to “level up” my production.
iZotope audio software is worth every cent. I am an electronic music producer beginner and ended up frustrated a lot because my mixes sounded awful. iZotope helped me getting better results instantly simply by using their assistants and presets. I fully get that they are not meant to be „auto-mixing and mastering“ tools, but my point is, that they really motivate me to learn about the physics of audio engineering. I discovered so many interesting topics and in conjunction with online material like this it‘s just a dream and super fun to learn and experiment. Thanks a lot for providing these videos 👍
I think I am reading your book right now, what a coincidence I am now watching a video with you and the same studio you talk about in the book. Very cool
Great idea for a video series, thanks! I've used iZotope products for years and find Ozone indispensable. I find I get more out of this when the tracks are using real instruments; when I hear a rap-type track comprised of loads of loops of artificial sounds I have no idea what to compare the components and sounds to.
Very nice that you listen to your users. I have one major question that goes as well for all DAWs and plugins. There is a tremendous shortage of good tutorials about working with classical music, and with midi files specifically. A huge amount of information about how to deal with audio files and pop music, but very rare and worthless insight in the virtual classical music (which I usually and solely practice). So I would be very grateful to get some tutorials on that topic. And thanks for listening!
I studied classical composition a few years back, and we have sort of a value system for different instrument groups. You have to consider the "mix/master" of the instruments used, and how to use them well. Especially for orchestra or an ensemble consisting of different instrument groups. It was interesting to hear you talk about the piccolo and, of course, the always popular tuba solo. - Great videos. They're much appreciated.
Mastering engineers are always so thoughtful and well spoken haha
They seems to be so delicate and peaceful while they eventually work on Brutal Death Metal projects
@@yx2822 haha true
Glenn Fricker from spectre sound studios
@@sweedmusic2166 yeah? he is not thoughtful or well spoken i guess haha. but he isn't a mastering engineer. He is a recording/mixing engineer for metal
@@jrileyhill oh yes, But his words have truth though
I like the way you post audio examples and give us a chance to use our own minds to figure out what’s wrong and what’s right with each example....

9:35 "solo tuba recording" got a legit LOL out of me. This episode is great, I'm really looking forward to more.
Check out "Epic Low Brass" on RUclips. It might change your mind about Tuba.
What a nice Valetine's day gift. Thanks iZotope
This was the first time I tried to seek knowledge about mastering, and honestly, this is good.
i think that izotope are having meeting everyday on how to revolutionize this music industry
We obsession with media
They must be. With NASA engineers or something
The song that is used as an example:
Needs & Wants - Latrell James

This was a great tutorial. Johnathan Wyner and Greg Calbi are the reasons I love mastering. Such a privileged job in a way. Big decisions.

What an incredible series. Much appreciated : )
Coming back to this a year later realizing what a fantastic series this is
This definitely the definitive breakdown in common language and common sense for a producer, artist and/or client. Well delivered and received.
Clear & Precise. Your delivery was spot on. Thank you for sharing your time and expertise with us Jonathan.
Beautifully said friend, well done! Looking forward to more videos. Izotope, you guys rock!

Jonathan, Great video! I’ve watched a lot of videos on this topic trying to learn but never really understood what they meant. Until now, thank you for making it easier to understand.
I will def be tuning in to these videos to up my knowledge of this art.
Let’s become great audio engineers 🤙🏻🤙🏻
Everyone watching this should subscribe and hit the notification bell, immediately. This is by far one of the best sources for pro mixing and mastering education on the net. Respect.
I usually find Izotope videos a bit 'jargon heavy', but I like this dude for his simple language and easily digestible terms of reference. Good video!
Can't wait for next episode!🙌
Thanks for creating this course. Jonathan is such a great presenter of information.
that guy is an absolute legend for sharing those gems !
best valentines gift ever!
Very informative! I use Izotope products regularly. His presentation was flawless.
his voice is so calming...!
Please, make more of this. So inspiring.
Amazing, very insightful and clean. Thank you.
Wow, this was an amazing video. Extremely insightful and articulate. 14 minutes flew by!
Absolutely brilliant series... love the "forest for the trees" analogy !
Mastering is “ unifying “ the final mix if you would . Shaping the sound spectrum and using depth control is a big part of this .
I like the spectrum of your understanding about the organic listening
More open simminars Like this is on its way..keep it coming.👍
Can't wait for the Ep.2 !!!!!
That was great: clear, relatable. Izotope really makes great video content
what an amazing series, very excited to binge these
Great info! Well spoken! I’m def going to enjoy this series!
Thanks so much guys for this awe-inspiring insight, please don't stop sharing those kind of videos...
Thank you for sharing your knowledge
