One video I'll have to watch over and over again. I have a question though. How did your low end pull through when you used a high pass filter to make the kick and bass Mono(The side image concept)? Was 2 different tracks blended in with a cut on same points?

[@verdi260]

Interesting idea with double limiting. But if I use really very gentle limiting about 3 db max is it worth to use 2 limiters? Thank's in advance. Verdi

[@sageaudio]

Hey Verdi!
That's a good question! It's really a matter of taste - I think what could be useful is using 2 different limiters with different tonalities to achieve a unique one. Since you're not doing heavy limiting, 2 limiters probably won't reduce distortion all that much, but might help you find a different timbre.

[@verdi260]

@@sageaudio Yos this is a good point. The reason for using 2 limiters or 2 of every kind of FX could be the timbre of final sound. Thank you for sugestions.

[@DaveChips]

I'd add extra tip wich could be useful... Make two masters... One for "CD" and one for streaming service...

[@sageaudio]

Hey Dave! That's a good idea - thanks!

2:26 use linear phase tho, or listen closely and decide for yourself

[@sageaudio]

Thanks for watching - that's a good idea to try!

Super fact.

[@erkamau9629]

Very interestin the sandwuich tip...Pity no example for the most difficult step, the comparing Reference, you how match at start the volume lowering the reference (typically about -6dB, or by eyes looking at the waveforms, or by ear,..?) ? How much can be useful Fab Pro if the I have to adjust every eq band ? Pheraps better Glisseq, master match of iK MM, Ozone or Gullfoss, isn't it ?

[@sageaudio]

Hey ErkaMau! Thanks for watching! If you want more detail on how to use the FF Pro-Q 3 for matching, here's another one of our videos on it: ruclips.net/video/6-jOOF2Jq84/видео.html
I wouldn't recommend using it as an effect so whichever plugin you can use to generally match the sound for a reference will be helpful.

It seems that mastering engineers are heavily dependent on crappy mix engineers. I realize that mastering involves combining metadata and preparing the music for various sources, but if the mastering engineer has to try and fix a muddy stereo mix....the client should go back to the mix engineer and have them fix it.
