- I forgot to mention that I don't use the stereo enhancer anymore and sorry about some of the audio quality here, it was the best I could get out of OBS.

Thanks for watching!
This channel has helped me make the most of my budget productions and I just want to say thank you!
You're the true punk, I ended up looking more plugins to buy than make music, and you kill them all.
Stock plugin power! Thanks!
Everything I know about production I have learned from watching you. Thank you so much for guiding my path in this world.
No problem dude much appreciated!
Hey man, great video, as always! Since the first time you shared your master chain I've adopted your approach of tone shaping + loudness and it's working great. I remember you used to add some stereo enhancer too somewhere there, but I don't see it now, I guess it didn't pass the test of time? :D
Thanks man and correct I ditched it. It's still on the chains file though.
Excellent stuff as always man. Always learning something new from your videos and stuff like this is really what I need. Thanks, dude!
Cheers!
Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge man. Still using the stereo enhancer I think it helps.This fx chain rocks! You rock my friend from down under.
I do hip hop, but your metal production is where the knowledge is at man! Thx for sharing this
Thanks dude!
@@resington Is the saturation plugin (only one not stock) free? wanna try out the chain the uploaded
The fact that you don't switch out plugins often contributes to your consistency and signature sound. You could put any collection of tunes together and they would appear to be done in the same time period, which is ideal. My track levels on my tunes have always been all over the place, creating a real headache trying to balance everything to fit together. Great video of some really important aspects and things to consider here. 👑🎸🔥
Top down mixing is the only way to go consistency dude thanks!
Great stuff as always bro. The ReaXcomp and Mojo add so much heft! Great stomping riff btw.
Cheers chainsaw
Tremendous sharing ! Thanks so much
Great video dude! Lovely to see your master chain , might just try out a few of the plugins you're using on mine as well haha , cheers!
Thanks, go for it Arav. Haven't found anything better than this chain.
Great video dude, cheers!
Awesome riffage too 🤘
Cheers chug!
This is an excellent template, no right being free. I'd love to hear what levels you are looking for in reaxcomp as far as gain reduction for each band!
Hey man, I am almost exclusively just using the low band but sometimes the other meet get hit, depends. No more than 3db reduction ideally. Thanks!
Mojo looks interesting, I'll have to give it a try
@@ScalerWave you'll never look back.
@@resington Had a chance to try it yesterday. Is it me or does it add clarity and depth as well as loudness? As a test, I lowered the gain to match the 'before' sound so they were to same loudness but the mix still seemed more clear and a bit more spacious. What has been your experience?
Cool man! Reaper is great! Love the stock plugiins! Great video!
Thanks dude as always
Yo man, I just wanted to say thanks for this. Your video on this a few years back helped get me started with mastering on my stuff. Really appreciated this look back at it with your analysis of why you're making the moves you made. When I saw it years ago I just blind copied and started tweaking for my own mix without much understanding. Now that I know what's going on, it makes so much more sense.
I also got to try mojo! Is that stock reaper?!
Freakin always AWESOME!
Thank u as always!!
nice. now lets see a "How I Master Metal With Pirated Plugins" haha :)
You first haha
Thanks So Much for sharing this with us! 💓
Cheers for watching.
This channel has taught me so much. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. One questions, I seem to have a problem losing some quality after i render a song. Could you do a video on how your render your songs? That would be extremely helpful!
Nothing special. Wav or mp3, 24bit. 44.1. Standard stuff.
Just completely out of curiousity, how did you go about putting this chain together? Was it trial and error? Info from other videos? A combination of both? Amazing work as always. Thanks for doing what you do. \m/
EQ, exciter and xcomp settings I just figured out honestly. Event horizon I saw Kenny goya using that, the rest is me honestly. I learned generally using multiple plugins to get loudness from people like fluff and various other folks. It's an endless stream of knowledge but the most useful thing is referencing tracks u know sound good to you. That's the biggest educational tool.
@@resington How do you go about referencing though? Are you listening to the reference track on RUclips or Spotify? I heard that different streaming platforms additionally compress the tracks you upload, so do you keep that in mind when you are mastering? Do you render your tracks in mp3 or in wav before uploading themon streaming platforms? Sorry for all the questioons and thank you for sharing your knowledge, you are a true hero!
@@svilens.viktorov485 the sound, the tone of the mix won't change. RUclips will simply turn the volume down if it's too loud. Compression in this case means quality. Compression plugins inside your DAW affect volume. Different things. I wish people wouldnt use 'compression' when talking bout quality, it gets confusing. Hope that helps.
Excellent. My chain is completely different but sounds just alike yours. You obvious get he same result in a much smoother and more straight forward way. Very, very good.
Nice man 👍 would be intresting how your mix is compared to a reference track, to get the loudness at the same Levels like a "pro mix" can be really hard...
Thanks mate
I get jat bus glue and it does anlittle shapping i also use limiter/ clipper
Is there any reason you let your master clip into the red?
Is there a possibility that my ears just suck? I try doing tutorials like yours an I never get good results. I genuinely can’t hear the difference in lots of VST’s in the master chain and it usually still sounds shit.
Could be any number of things. If you follow the template and tips etc it SH udlnt sound much different but then without having your session it's impossible to pin point.
Do you have a loudness target?
@@ScalerWave - 6 ish but honestly as loud as anything else out there right now.
🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝
low end is always a problem for me. I mean I don`t even hear it when mixing. 4inch monitors and semi open headphones are all I have. Sometimes headphone only if not home. When someone plays my mix on their hi fi system or a car it`s either boomy or not enough of that pulsation and such. How do you deal with that?
The best guide would be reference a mix you quite like the low end of and A-B it to death. Test it to death till it's the right amount. Use headphones. Consumer ones too, to hear the low end.
@@resington the thing is I don`t hear that deep low end on reference tracks as well lol. I use analyzers to get it to similar level but results are unstable
Make sure the you are shelving or high passing the bass guitar from at the lowest say 60hz, I do it from 80hz ish. Not sure what else to say really. Sorry dude.
@@resington sure no worries
The only other solution is for you to get to a place where you can hear/feel them! You're doing everything else other than that already. Invest in a set of cans that can help you dig into that low-end or instead in a subwoofer or sub-pac
