"Turn the snare down" ☠☠ Bruh, this is sooo accurate!! I love this
Excellent Video. I was just watching in between sessions and it was well worth the watch!
Love all of your content, my guy. Keep up the amazing work.
loving the stereo effect on the vocals
It is true that the duty of a master engineer or master as a whole is evolving, however, it is still considered as an mportant stage. Besides that, I belive that producing and mixing stage are the most important. That means, if the producer or the mixer engineer is good the record will sound good even though the master is not done well. However, if the producer, mixer engineer, or even one of both is bad, the record will sound bad, even if the mastering is good.
Wavy wayne, you are the man, you are bringing a lot of knowledge in here, thank you for that!
Love your videos bru!!
Keep those saucey videos this channel is up there with other top notch engineering video's
Awesome interview!!!
This is a great interview. Thanks
This was super entertaining and informative. I’m so glad I finished this in one sitting!
Great video🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
What a great acoustics in that room!
Dope vid my G!
Love this one...
Preciate it brooo !!!
You a cool brotha Wayne stay positive good success will be coming to you family luv💯
The best!
Who dislikes your videos?! Shits crazy to me...keep making your videos bro, you’re killing it! 🔥🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Bless up 🖤‼️
Thank you Wavy Wayne !!!
Are they B&W 610's? My father used to own those. When I was a kid I was in a store with him auditioning speakers and they blew us away, so we went home with a pair. Great speakers.
Class, cheers man
Great Content!!!!
learned alot from you brotha !
Its upsetting though yeah, 22 min in and have yet to really learn anything from him. You did ask straight-forward legit questions. I dont see why its so hard for people to simply say what they're doing. Either they don't truly believe in what their doing, or they're paranoid and think its wise to keep the knowledge esoteric.
Wow. Super thanks guys.
Dude set off my google home at 28:40 😂 started playing “this is America” by childish gambino
Dope fam!!!!
Nice yeah, I always finish with fab Filter pro L at Yuba Sun Studio
Dope
I like you dawg just subscribed man 💯💯
Right on fam.
Lawd! I have protools but none of these plugins lol hats off to those engineers... I just remeber to bounce in mono summed
these videos are great
Great stuff, ty
Wondering if you know about the Universal Audio Apollo X6 Thunderbolt 3 Audio Interface, I'm considering getting it for the 6 core processing power, I plan to integrate it with my Apollo Twin SOLO as I'll use the SOLO more so as a monitor controller with an additional core processor which will give me up to 7. My question is if I purchase the Universal Audio Apollo X6 Thunderbolt 3 Audio Interface, will it give me more headroom in my mix in the box? With the Twin I have to damn near peek my drums just to get it to knock. I'm using the Renaissance MPC software, I plan on mixing out of the box then finalizing in the box in Protools 2018 for my final mixes. But prior to the out off the box process I need the drums / 808, & bass to hit much harder. The console I will purchase is the Behringer X32 Digital Mixer (32-Channel). This console will be used separate from the Apollo X6 as the engine in protools. Thanks !
best teacher ever its pity that im from Bosnia and that i cant visit you to pay your beer or somenthin. Big love Bro. (sorry for my bad english or some diffrent understanding)
Could you do a video on what level you should start the beat when you input or what to do when your beat is over drowning vocals or vice versa.. love your video
Check out this video. Im pretty sure I covered that here ruclips.net/video/JEYe0occ1Nk/видео.html
very informative video here bro
Thanks.
One Audio tip, This goes for studio work or even playing live on stage!!!. I found out to late is to make it sound louder with NOT turning up the volume is boost the midrange. THAT brings everything up more. How come NO ONE talks about a main staple in any ones rack. ? ,"BBE Sonic Maximizer", 482i. You should not even record onenote without it from the soundcheck to final mastering before it goes to duplication!!!
You helping me stay on track mugs are getting back to me too slow I need that workkk
honestly a master engineer can probably master in any daw, i learned this from all of you saying the DAW doesnt do you any good only affects your work flow so i dont know why yall dissing on it fl studio is one of the fastest ways to make beats and i love it for that recording is absolute torture but if a person only has that one he can make his song sound as good as another song that was recorded in pro tools
Truth i done heard better songs come out of FL than Pro tools its all on the engineer
Dope info...
Well done Sir i like that
YOU CAN MASTER IN ANY DAW. IT'S ABOUT WHAT YOU KNOW
I use pro tools but I think there is nothing wrong with using FL Studio, is doesn't sound worse than pro tools and u can basically install every plugin in fl, just like u can on pro tools...
Jesus that first control room is sick!
what mic did you record the video with its on point
need to take this to patron
How can we get ahold of Ben Kessler in 2019? The link above is no longer live. Thanks for your time in advance. And keep up with the solid videos! #ISalute
Email me I’ll put you in contact.
waynea.wav@gmail.com
thanks
what camera do you use?
I'm a little confused as to how mastering in FL Studio would be ANY different than using Protools are Wavelabs. Wave might have certain advantages because its meant for mastering, but overall the plugins are doing the work and the DAW is just rendering data. How would it sound ANY different if you use the same plugins, with the same settings, with the same room etc. Mike Dean masters in whatever daw he feels like that day.
Cool video though. I enjoy this more natural dialogue style video. Its very cool.
Hi friend! Fl studio and Ableton, for example, are Producing Platforms. They are not created for mixing nor mastering. Plugins there will function very different as in Pro tools. Im telling you this by experience. Worked on ableton for 2 years before moving to pro tools. The way the daws sum the signals, are really different. The panning is really different also. With different attenuation between mid and sides. And also all the plugins function different. Try to raise 5 db at the input of a Compressor 1176 on Pro tools and on Ableton and you will see the signal is affected totally different. I know you asked 3 years ago buy maybe some people have the same question
@@patopodesta3294 hey man. I'm not calling you a liar, but I have done my own, and seen tests from other people where they render the same signals through the same settings in the same plugins with different DAWs with flipped polarity. In every test either all or 99.999% of the result is completely inaudible. Which would lead me to believe there is no different other than workflow.
What do you say to this?
@@LordDRockMusic I would say that you only have to open a file on Ableton. And then open the same file in Pro tools. And you dont need anyone to measure anything. Your ears will be the judge and its pretty obvious. Apart from this, is not a casuality that some types of latin music and edm are done at fl studio. The sum and the audio of the daw is commonly used on that genre. Apart from the workflow of course. Not trying to convince you from anything, just do your own tests :)
well protools is a "pro" program, has faster work flow and so many fts that make everything easier. while FL was made for producing, youll find while mixing and mastering itll be much annoying and less shortcuts and work flow will take a hit. but final verdict you can do it all on FL if you actually know what your doing.
Wavy Wayne!!! I'm fuckin with ya tough, fam! I'm working right now, but I'm going to check out more of your videos. Look for me in the near future. 💯
lol i see yall in here hating on protools lol ! hilarious ! its really about the digital to analog back to digital, that what separates PT , if you never learned it , you should !
How much you charge to mix and master a song?
Please how does your pro tools template work?
drums softing good start learning how to make your own lodies. Good luck bro!
🖤🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Does he mean no limiting on any vocals or just the master bus?
No limiting on the Master if you are going to have the mix Mastered.
make a logic pro x way of mastering but use the plugins that come with logic i enjoyed the mixing tutorial
didnt help me at all , was looking for maybe your approach to mastering , or mastering in a home studio type of environment , still got good tips though , maybe in the future make a video in pro tools to visually help , im more of a visual learner . nice stuff tho
Greencitycypha yea I’m a artist and was looking for the exact same thing. But definitely got some great tips
Notch filters and eq are a big thing. Also compression. Just mess around til you find what sounds good but be sure to monitor your levels. Some things are easier to see than to hear. Hope this helps
19:21 There ARE Videos like that #facts !!!!! ahahhahahah Real sh***t
20:44 It’s great! to lower that kick BEFORE the mastering compressor so then the compressor will
be triggered by what it’s supposed to be triggered by and not just by Kick and Kick only. I have a question here: when I have HP feature on the mastering compressor it means that the kick is not going to trigger that compressor, but DOES IT also mean that that Kick is not going to be AFFECTED
by that compressor? That lefts me scratching my head every time… Is it different for different compressor? Cuz what happens often is that it compresses great but then That Kick is too loud after.
That’s why I love what the guy says here - I should definitely try, specially since I run my MIX through
the tape often as the start of the mastering process which bring even more Hump Thump or however you call it - the lows. And if I wont enable the HP on the compressor than that lowed Kick is just going to be smacked, which wouldn’t be the problem BUT there’s a consequential/final limiting (and sometimes compression which we call “brick wall” type of thing) always cuz we need to raise the
out level ad the end right? So BECAUSE the Kick get smacked 2 times in this situation, it gets
“over-smacked”. So what the guy says IS BRILLIANT. I just still have this question I asked in the beginning.
It’s like I always had the similar confusion about filter on SideChain for let’s say Stock Compressor in Ableton and Logic: the filter affects what the Compressor is listening to (triggered by), or the filter affects what the compressor will be compressing? Well I’m not asking this here I’m just giving another example of a question which might sound dumb but I’m just laughing thinking how many ppl would be using it for years without even asking themselves “what does it really do?”

💪💪💪💪👏👏👏👏
how much to mix track on protools
so no more than one compressor than 1 at begining of record?
I've been recording for 14 years I have a batch of dlls that will turn your ram data transfer and bootime upto 150 % some of my programs dont even load lpl
Fuck that was such a good video! Thnak you
🙏🏽🙏🏽💯💯
Cool
Make a video explaining how to remove producer tags from beats that you didn't pay for.
Coming right up. I had that already but somebody got butthurt and hated on it. But it will be back and more detailed than ever.
Wayne.wav LOL
lmfaoooo i deadass was like where the fuck is video i watched it but didnt save it
my man real
jus pay for it....
been searching for this nigga foreva
lol I began with fl studio I agree
HEY WAVY. whats in the jars in the bkgrnd
Crack. 😂😂🤷🏽♂️
Wayne.wav you Jamaican bro
Yeah man, usually I learn a lot from your clips, real good stuff. But I'm afraid this one is a bit vague. Ok: only WAVs (minimum 24 bit / 48KHz), no clipping, no compression, keep the mix well balanced. When I wanted continuing to listen to you, there was an error which prevented me from following. Actually I grew up with Cakewalk Sonar, changed to ProTools because I love to work also with Sibelius, which seems to go fine with PT. If there are other clips of yours re. mastering, I'd be eager to watch them. Keep going. - Right, now I can continue watcing this. Getting more to the point at around 23:48.
Thanks for the feedback. Will have a more detailed mastering video soon.
That's great. I have the same feeling as Ben, if you have a track mixed, and give it away for mastering, the outcome will not meet my imagination. I actually feel the transit from mixing to mastering is "organic" and should not be interrupted. some of my personal preferences (soundwise) are - ahem - rather extreme, so I believe I should be able to decently master my stuff by myself.
What do you think of mastering plugins for DAWs with some presets for various genres?
Check me out @ www.bandlab.com/mad_musicologist.
This Guy danced around the ring more than mayweather it’s not hard to master these days we live in the digital age with the right Daw and the instructions and a good set of ears u in there
Wayne real question: Why do you all say it’s not good to mix/master in FL studio? To my knowledge you can load basically the same plugins and apply all the same processing techniques as PT. Is there a legit reason? Good stuff btw. About to order me a shirt pimpin✊🏾
Every DAW has their own algorithm for processing sound. FL sounds amazing for soft clipping on kicks, but instruments sound warmer in logic. Similarly, everything usually ends up in Pro Tools because its clean and honest. I just switched to Pro Tools and I am hearing the difference!
Man i wish i knew what i am missing. i have watched about 30 of your videos and other youtube channels also. im working on a album that i produced and its like i just cant get it to sound how i want it to sound. the highs are to high and i feel like i took out the mud but i also feel like i took all the warmth out of the song. it sounds clear and like the highs are to high but when i take out the highs the highs sound dull and flat lol im like a chicken with its head cut off over here
JORDAN EASLER LOOK IT UP HE CAN HELP, THANK ME LATER
Can you use compress the volume in this video. The gemz are hard to hear😞
i wish this video was mastered.
bruhhhh hire me as a camera man
Dope video homie appreciate that knowledge Ben. 💪🏾 #Thornbirdmsp.com
How much would you charge me to mix and master songs for me??
Have you guys billboard charted or mixed/mastered for a famous artist if not why should i watch you over all the other tutorials out there IJS offer something we don't have
wavy get at me on ig bro luv the work
First lol 💪🏾
did he say " getting some head " LLS
Mastering in Fl studio😂😂😂😂🚮🏌🏽
😂😂
So you think i cant achieve all this with fl...smh
So, FL is good enough to give to birth to music, but not to master, these guys are so cliche.
jmac2050 im sayin. Fl is probably the best DAW out. U can definitely master in FL u just have to know what youre doing.
jmac2050 facts. You can DEFINITELY master in FL. You can put ANY plug in they use into FL. FL STUDIO is just as good as pro tools now......😑
You can master on any daw, however, its not going to stand-up to a pro mastering engineer, who usually have a special facility for mastering complete with specialized hardware in conjunction with software. Most all of the trap music that is produced at the highest level, is often times mixed in pro tools, logic or if not definitely mastered by top mastering facilities. Just look at the credits on any album you may love within the trap/rap sound. You will always see a separate mixer and mastering guy. Producers don't do everything at home, then send it to the label. It just doesn't work that way
Wish he would speak up... can't hear him at all.
So you can only master in pro tools? Y’all acting OLD! 😅
Dont trust no 19 year old mastering engineer 😂
Dude. People and their mp3. I've been telling people wav is the way for almost 20yrs. They rarely listen and that's why their records sound like junk.
Why pro tools? Expensive for nothing. Please give me one reason to go with pro tools instead of reaper, for example. I mean for your own studio.
If yer use to ol school mixing on a desk w/out board gear …PT is great work flow but way too expensive .
I stopped w/the updates of PT @ PT 12.7 thats all anyone would ever need.
Reaper is great lot more flexibility than PT you can used VST VST2 & 3 AU… plugs w/Reaper but I can't get into the flow if I had my time to go back I would have learned the flow of Reaper I'll never buy anything AVID again they refuse to update their interfaces that older it would only take someone a day to make a $1,500 unit I have work in day just need to write a driver but they won't do it . Stick with Reaper & spend time getting the song right & tight the sound engine some say in PT gives a "sheen" I call B.S. on that Garage Band is light years beyond what the greats had to record the classic's. Don't get caught up in the DAW's & gear a Bag of SM57 & a laptop you can make any record. If yer working w/loops…you really don't need PT 13 …any Lite version of any DAW will be all you need.
Really?? Do you don’t know how to master on FL studio?? Men you have to get yourself together. Because to have a great Similar analog Mastering in FL studio you have to know how to used it.
