I can only express my gratitude to both Wytse and George. I’m truly humbled by your kindness and support.
Sound engineering is an artform, both you and George showcased that in this video. The connection between the human mind and analog gear can produce wonderful results.
Especially when the engineer can trust their own ability to enrich the music.
“Don’t ever lose sight of your love of music”- Bruce Swedien
I would also like to thank everyone that will, have and continue to give “Funk Heven” a chance. Your support is very much appreciated.
very cool track
Really good song, I just mastered my first pre master mix through Analog Rack with Studio One's Pipline Feature on Export....and then used Landr against it...mine blew it away, His friend the master engieneer did the same thing...LOL....online mastering just sucks all the life out of your song...bad Idea....spend $5000 to $8000 on your own studio....its worth it...even if your start with Dbx compressor, BBE maxizer, mackie mixer, SSL 2+ and good headphones.....thats about $1100 and you can start making your own masters with Pro Tools or Studio one....
Never mind the analog gear, that’s just extra gravy ontop, it’s the engineers ear and knowledge before anything else is even considered
Lovely 80's MJ vibe on this track.
Cool tune....thanks for letting us hear it
George's AIR/SPARKLE and PRESENCE is amaaaaaaaazing.
Instant Mastering services and Mastering Engineers are like buying a suit in the fashion area of a supermarket and in a tailor shop. Both may work for someone but when you compare them you can see which is specifically made at the right fit
nice analogy!
yep
sure, but it won’t be long before AI mastering becomes indistinguishable from the work of humans
100!
One of the best analogies ever!!!!! ✊🏾
George's master sounded so good. It is almost 3D!
This video was needed for the music community. Nothing can replace a human being mastering your music.
I like how George's mix was wider but in a very balanced way.
The other mastering services didn't really added much in the wideness.
So much this! Listening with my reference headphones I could tell just by the stereo image which one was done by George. It's a very different approach but sounds so much better.
And that is why we need human mastering engineers like George. This was a fantastic video and excellent comparison! Thank you so much!
That's it :)
I don't think I've ever fully appreciated mastering as much as it deserves to be before watching George work. Hearing all of those changes in real-time was magic.
Audio mastering is an art, I work in music production since 2002, and I can tell that the experience is one important factor. Thanks for this video.
ok try doing mastering and mix engineering while living out of a tent.
I've sat in on a lot of mastering sessions, had a lot of songs mastered (by some well known ME) and this was above and beyond anything i ever seen come out of a final master. He actually improved the mix far beyond just making it brighter and louder, which seems to be the norm these days. Very disappointing to have something mastered, and when it comes back it doesn't sound BETTER than the mix just different. George nailed it. Well done
"Very disappointing to have something mastered, and when it comes back it doesn't sound BETTER than the mix just different."
SO TRUE!!
Hmm mastering done without askin you what ya aiming for , like the sound of . No 1st draft , 2 nd draft checks before the final result making sure your on board and happy ? Not sure what mastering places you been too but 100% go somewhere else lol ;p
ive seen a lot of art but only some of it is good
@@muzk8887 I saw a pelican try to eat a pigeon once 🤣🤣
Mastering should not make your mix sound better, it should exaggerate all the strengths of your mix. And subsequently, it can highlight the weaknesses of your mix. As far as cosmetic 'treatments' go, that is a choice made by the engineer at the artist's discretion.
The difference indeed is ENORMOUS!
What i would love to see/hear now, is George making a master with (hi-quality) plugins only and compare that to the analog version he did.
Any chance on that one???
Automatic mastering systems usually do not understand "musicality", algorithms are not able to add breath and life. The human ear and brain are still the best tool for this. Therefore, it is good to find a mastering specialist who has his own approach to the music styles we are interested in. I have some material in my collection that has been mastered by people who don't understand certain nuances. The effects were disappointing.
George, a big thank you for the show of the possibilities and the excellent job ... and for fighting with the "sound botulism" ;).
Dear Wytse ... in my opinion, this is one of your the best episodes on YT. :) MORE! :D
That's not a suprise to me BUT George's work is BY FAR the best Mastering... no picture !
This is definitely one of your best videos of all time. I know you did something like this about 3 years ago, but the they way George goes into major detail about the mastering process was beyond fascinating and informative. A huge thank you for the effort you put into this.
Watching you two interact was a treat. Thank you
I love this video!!! George is cool as hell and you guys have beautiful chemistry captured on this video
Thoroughly enjoyed watching this video and hearing the differences in sound while marvelling at the gear! RUclips needs more videos like this one. Big respect to you both for sharing this! Thank you.
We need more Lennard and George guest appearances!!! Awesome video!
I think this is the best video on this channel yet. Thank you so much!!!
I really enjoyed this video, keep up the great work
Bro just discovered you, your content is fire! Appreciate your work frfr!
Hi,
I just watched this and have to say that I learned more about mastering from your friend and you together than the hours of 'tutorials' over several years - I think I finally 'got it' (knobs, ears, gut!). Loved the track before - magic after. Many thanks.
truly fantastic video. Would love to see more of George in the future, so enjoyable watching you two cool dudes. Thank You!
Amazing job making this video, this might be the best mastering video I've ever seen. Being able to hear the mastering process while you're both talking and the camera work and being honest with your process. You're helping the industry for other future high-level engineers to also grow to this level. Love seeing and hearing your mastering chain. Thank you for sharing! Lots to learn here.
Perfect way of demonstrating the differences between a mastering eng and instant services. Really enjoyed this video !!
I'm following you for some years now and this is one of your best videos. It is for me more clear than it already was, nothing beat a real human regarding to mixing and mastering! Yank you so much for this video and greetings from Rotterdam.
What a great video man, thanks a lot !!!
The value in this video is THROUGH THE ROOF!!! thanks alot
Really cool watching your friend master...it was mind blowing....in a good way...tell him...I learned alot from him....!!! and I really appreciate all your advice as well
George is absolutely amazing. Best out of all by far. He is incredible. I can't wait to come out that way and check you both out.
This was really cool, thank you for this.
Great video! Had to watch it twice to take notes throughout, super insightful, thanks.
This channel is great. I really appreciate this.
Fantastic video! Thank you!
Thanks for this Wytse, and George. Very insightful.
I loved this video. Thank you so much Wytse and George!
To my ears, the audio mastering done and the dynamics adjusted is subtle yet orgasmic. What a joy to watch and listen to.
Very nice session. Thank for the video
What an awesome video - to see a mastering engineer go through all the tweaks on their kit and then all the work on this comparison - thank you. Amazing stuff. Would be good to see a shoot out between analogue gear and in the box gear - though it would be hard to tease out the differences between the humans involved vs the gear on that one.
so helpful thx ! Finally mastering explained well and step by step. The enthusiasm on both your faces is instant as you see master chain..
big ups on production too, best content yet Wietse & crew!
Amazing! Thank you again for the best content!
This video does an incredible job of illustrating the value of mentorship in the audio community. No amount of RUclips can replace the experience of taking your mix to a mastering engineer who knows what they’re doing with a pimped out setup. I always walk away with an enhanced perspective. Cheers to you both!
Dude! Been waiting forever for another video on this. Loved your previous one as well!
Awesome vid. Can’t remember the last time I sat and watched a full 30-minute plus video straight through without stopping. Well done
George knows his stuff for sure!
Great video! Thank you for this one!
It was great watching the mastering session in the studio!
This was great! More Please!
Thank you! Very useful and instructive video!
Great comparison video. I loved hearing the mastering services next to each other and especially George’s work (which was excellent).
Grat sessions guys!
Bless you Man, this is priceless review
This was amazing Whytse!
It's night and day! Also - The gear in his studio is such a wonderful selection.
Amazing , thank you guys
This was such a cool Video , thank you very much !
Ja ja ja ja ja :) Loved this little glimpse into mastering with George. Thankyou!
Fantastic. Not only very informative but FUN to watch. Thanks!
Really useful video!👏🏼

nice 1
Thanks for giving the community such opportunities! I really appreciate your work, keep it up guys - you're doing a phenomenal job.
One of the most interesting videos about Matering I´ve seen, great content
Thanks for providing this comparison!
This is a great video. Good job! I love watching professionals produce music. You learn a lot just by seeing them approach it in their own way. More vids like this would be great!
Thank you for taking the time to create this informative video. I concur that George clearly has created the best master - smooth, open and spatial compared with all the others. LANDR sounds pretty good to my ear, and certainly better than the other mastering services you've tested.
Thanks for making this video!
This video and George just taught me alot. like seriously. i have a good ear i just didnt know what the differences were called i could always just hear it. but George explained aspects of the audio and help me link it to my ears. I subscribed. please feature George on more uploads he is awesome. my kind of music man
Thanks, you just got another subscriber! This was one of the most interesting music production related videos I've ever watched/listening too! So thanks:) Nothing compares to an experienced human mastering engineer, it just sounded so much better than the others.
Wytse thanks for make this happen. It helped me to go with George as mastering engineer, and what a pleasant surprise! He was great player and delivered on timely manner. Regarding the quality of the product, there are no words to express how the song sounded after his magic touch.
Incredible video!!! I will definitely keep George in mind to master some tracks I have been mixing
Excellent comparison, thanks!
That was a really nice and informative watch, thank you! Oh and the Michael Jackson vibes of that track are 🔥🔥🔥
Super dope video !!! Nice to see an engineer feeling the tracks first and then working on it, real super skills too the final sounds excellent
Watching George was a lot of fun! It reminded me of being in rehearsals at University for our performances. You can tell how intricately he knows each piece of equipment in that mastering chain. He dials thins in very quickly and you can instantly hear the improvements in dynamics and overall width of the track. It has more impact and sustains the "mood" of the music because of how he dialed in the roll-off of each punchy and dynamic instrument in the mix. I really can't get over how effective he is in such a short period of time. It's very impressive!!
Artists doing what they love…George is a gem.
Excellent video. Well done.
so exciting and seeing the passion while working...feels really good. thank you for the video
WOW, that difference is HUGE! Thank you for the video, it showed me things I'd never would see/learn myself (or that would cost me a lot). Thank you for that comparing.
George is insane!! Super musical and tasteful, knowing precisely how to get the result he wants
THIS IS AMAZING. GREAT VIDEO, FOR THE TIME CAPSULE. THANK YOU. 👑 👑 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Very inspiring! Thank's!
Great video, great lesson.
The most valuable video ever uploaded. Thank you! So much great info. Fascinating mastering chain process. Love it!!
Now that’s entertainment! What a great video! George is a brilliant musician / engineer. Such a pleasure to watch the process and get to see the difference that such skilled ears can bring to the final product. More session videos please! 🕺
This was so enjoyable!
Great video! Thanks for doing that.
Well done. And not surprising. But nice that you found out the same things I've casually found out for myself a few times.
Thanks for taking the time and spending the money to do so!
Hillarious! Thanks for this I love your videos man. I even fixed my 4 track after watching yours
This is great content !
This is perhaps your best and most important video to date. Thanks to you and George for going through the actual mastering process. It was very interesting to get a look/listen to what happens. In the end, all I can say is that the online masters all sounded 'good' to some degree, but George's master had so much more life and presence! It comes down to the human touch.
This was such an amazing video my guy! ❤
Spectacular video. Bravo.
Incredible work.
Just a beautiful insight for upcoming mastering engineers bless you.
thx for sharing this, nice to see inside a professional workflow.
Amazing video! Thank you.
Great video… love the mix of the song and George’s master way beyond the AI. George being a musician shows in the master as he understands frequency balancing very well.
Cool video Wytse. Love it!
I've seen a lot of videos where it says "let's talk about mastering" and that's exactly what they do they just talk about what mastering is, but fee videos show somebody actually doing it.
Thank you for your effort to produce this video it is very helpful.
FANTASTIC video thank you so much.
Amazing video...thanks for sharing
Yeah so I'm definitely going to be looking at George to master my EP, thanks a lot for sharing
