I can just hear Tyler in my head saying he wants the master to sound "Gross" 😂
all caps but irl "MAKE THAT SHIT FUCKIN GROSS" LOOOOOL
“I want this shit to sound gross”
same lmao
With his low distorted voice
you're all so strange
1:53 “attack the back end and really blow it out” 🤣🤣
😂
nice
That's what she said
🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@re_loyola he in tyler's case 😤 🏳️🌈
so ppl complaining igor had bad mixing were actually complimenting tylers vision lol
The drums on the song: ‘NEW MAGIC WAND’ by Tyler The Creator (2019) were sampled from the song: ‘Vsichni Praznj’
by Siluetes 61 (1981)

So beautiful to see this, so many people (including me at a certain point) believed there was no point of a mastering engineer, and I foolishly thought a mastering engineer was just adding a limiter and some EQ. No, its a lot more that goes into it; Now when I look up credits for certain albums I don't just look up mixing, I always ask who the hell got this so damn LOUD, and also look to mastering as well.
Agreed mon ami. I was putting out demos in the 90's that weren't even mastered! I am starting to think that it wasn't just bad-luck I didn't get signed back then! 🤔 Best wishes from an Englishman in France.
I’m still getting the hang of mixing and honestly so far that’s what I’ve understood mastering to be(limiter and some EQ), but can you elaborate on how you view it now pls?
@@nightvisionsex Interesting debate this and a real divisive issue. I am starting to think that perhaps thanks mainly to todays technological advances (recording/mix-down is often a one-stop shop) certainly the process has evolved but in simplistic terms it is starting to look TO ME like more a second opinion and maximisation of all levels and more an 'average' mix.
By 'average' mix I can only recount my 80's and 90's story when I was recording in a 24-track SSL studio the engineer would be monitoring us through the state of the art Tannoy monitors but after mix-down would test it on an old Matsui Boombox to be sure of his radio-mix levels. I don't remember any true mastering but that was probably not a good example. But, the engineer I am talking about remains the real-deal and is behind many successful bands though my recordings there were just demo's not for release so I guess there in lies the difference.
Now here I sit in the 21st century where most of this studio can now happen in my MacBook, but I am keen to kill my bad-habits and absolutely nail it this time, because my old demo's sound pretty muddy by todays standards, but I am yet to find the definitive video/explanation that will take the mystery out of this.
Best wishes 🎹
@@nightvisionsex
Yeah no problem man; A mastering engineer is that last set of ears before what ever you've been working on goes out to the public.
So if you've been listening to what you've been mixing for a few days or a few weeks, or (Like me sometimes) a few months!
You're not going to hear things that could be making your track not live up to its full potential; and the more people involved in helping with your track the better.
So a good mastering engineer is SUPER IMPORTANT! that's why all these industry artist pay the big bucks for them.
But for you and me Mastering isn't that expensive, a good engineer would be anywhere from 50-100 bucks at most.
The big boys are charging about 250+ a track.
I would suggest "Raw Technique Studios" dudes really good and fast, and he has a sale going for 35 bucks a Master.
Any more questions feel free to ask.
@@Try-st Do you hear anything specifically happening in this demonstration?
so you're telling me professionals don't just put 5 OTT's on the Master channel? crazy
I’ll put a Neve Master Bus Processor on your mix 😎 message me on IG
3 sound goodizers
@@1301407gl I think you made a typo in your comment. For a moment there, I thought you said “3 soundgoodizers”
sausage fattener on the master
Once cameras off they show the real project, sausage.
The low bass in the song is my favorite part
I just love Tylor, the Creator Grammy winning album ”IGER”
umm.. "IGER"?
sure reminds me of that
Yikes
N??
Obviously BIGER
Kill OBVIOUSLY NI... nvm
please get neal pogue on mixing any song from flower boy, that album’s mix is gorgeous and i NEED to know how he does it
YES YES GRAMMY AWARD WINNER NEAL H POGUE
Shut up kalle...😳❤️
OH HELL YEAH
It's absolutely awesome to hear insights from a guy that worked behind mastering this masterpiece of a track
He "mastered" a "masterpiece"... Epic
I have no idea what he’s doing with those dials at 3:15 but it looks like he doing sum. And the song good so 😂😂
adding saturation/clipping
@@tribbybueno huh
@@Death666death ? wdym huh? he's adding saturation or clip distortion
@Austin Salguero well why are most people watching this then? pretty rudimentary stuff
me and my homies love tylor
This was such a good episode
👻
Waves audio has the best videos
Daily Entertainment HD
Not really. Whole channels are dedicated to just about every genre.
bruh what
What good song?
@@seemose New Magic Wand by Tyler the Creator
This is incredible yall always deliver!!!
I could spend the entire day listening to Mike Bozzi talk about mastering... Talk about professional
Yess tyler stuff, always down to seeee this
We need videos for all the tracks!
Best recommendation in a while
PSA:
Mixing is different to Mastering.
I am dumb, what’s the difference?
@@genericname3435 Mixing is adjusting the levels and characteristics of the different instruments and music tracks.
Mastering is adding the finishing touches, such as end stage EQ and compression.
Think of mixing like baking a cake, and mastering like decorating it with the finishing touches.
@@johnbeaker8721 Wouldn't creating the song be baking the cake? There has to be a cake to mix or master?
Shaun M producing which comes before mixing and mastering could be seen as gathering the ingredients
@@MCtok11 Recording the song is gathering the ingredients.
Admittedly it's not my best metaphor.
This videos are so enlightening
Santigold on this is the most genius thing
This man is magic 🌌
Professionals don't use just an ozone preset?
I think most professionals put their mixes in an oven to get them sounding warm
@@MixChecks I usually disable the fan on my laptop to get that warm tone. If it’s not smoking it’s gonna sound too thin.
I always wondering do the mixing engineer enjoy the songs they mix 😳
helllllno lol
I think they try to look at it from an objective point of view, but they probably do
i mix hip hop and enjoy almost every minute of it lol, it can be super tough sometimes but at the end of the day the artist loves it and another new beautiful piece of art is born!!
@@mitchellpalmermusic Which artists do you mix for?
@@floris1912 nobody famous lol, but tons of local artists and a couple that live out in California!
Tha good ol Tylor
Tyler definitely produced this album and didn’t mix shit 😂 guy probably opened the project file to just ear rape
lmao fr
He been producing his music. ALL OF IT
@@Ilovechicago100 yeah thats what he said
Is that a Neve console?
anyone know what speakers those are?
It sounds a lot like distorted records by A$AP rocky
Tylor
3:22 I think it clipped right there
I can't hear any clipping there.
Diggin that console!
Yeah it's purty
Master with the Masters
Master with the Mixers
wow nice track bro! NO DIZ
where has this been my whole life
On RUclips. Begging you to click it ;)
Tylor, The Creater
It seems like mastering Will be his Forte

I LIKE THIS

Kkkkkk Sério? Eu sigo o Tyler desde Wolf
@@prod.mott4946 falo do mike
@@williamfarias97 Ata kkkkkkkok malz mano
Distortion 🔥🔥🔥
you can really hear the song change and sort of become more full sounding at 3:05
He’s adding a soft clipper and a saturator on the master, which most don’t do. It’s not much, but you can hear it. This way, the low end seems fuzzed out and the high end loses that glossy high end that most mix with the hi hats and vocals. In the song, there isn’t that much high end, so the saturator fuzzes out basically the whole song
@@help3499 saturator on the master is an interesting technique, haven't heard of it being done before but yeah it definitely achieves tylers goal of it sounding gross
WIZARDRY
Yeahhh blow out the back end
Wait, is an analog console?
What if the whole video was just him sitting in silence turning knobs
The art of mastering silence is underappreciated.
Am I the only one here who thinks it is hilarious how mastering engineers can say a million words without actually explaining what they are doing ever
This dude is god I’m convinced
I also want to know about Tayler Swift records plz
🤔
tylor
Anyone know what console he's using?
Whatever it is you can't afford it. Jokes aside I'm pretty sure on another video he mentions it being custom made and incredibly expensive.
I did not understand shit but it is interesting
its TYLER not TYLOR, you made that typo twice
What about Tylar or Tylir or Tylur... wow you can pretty much use every vowel and his name still sounds right
Englishmen Tylor
Incredible! I hear no difference
Fr
Phil Dunphy
damn I thought neal pogue mixed this
This is mastering, mixing is different
I thought he did it all himself
written and PRODUCED* not mixed, theres a difference that I still dont know how to explain lol
Mixing/mastering is different from producing. Producing is making the actual sound of the song, notes, chords, percussive instruments, etc. Mixing/mastering happens after everything is in place and is essentially changing volume levels to make sure everything pops.
Jebron Lames yeah, for sure, I just didn’t have time to type it
I thought Tyler mixed and mastered all of his work.
Tyler produces most of his work
Mixing and mastering is an entire different section when it comes to music
I got an ep coming out just good ass music through instrumentals check me out on my page 🙏
I'd gladly buy this video from you. I just don't feel like subscribing. You should consider that as an option for your website.
they fkd?
yes
I love how these guys have the resolve to speak of this kind of cheezy stuff like its stevie wonder, bomb squad or fleetwood mac quality 🤣🤣
respect!
Lmao,you’re right. Tyler is way better than those guys.

100th comment W
wtf is this console lol
it's custom made with graphic eqs
Who’s here from tylerupdated
There's barely any educational substance to this video
i think you’re just not understanding what he’s trying to teach. mastering isn’t painting by numbers. it’s nuanced and based on the engineers taste, hence the reason most people don’t master their own tracks. him describing the blending of frequencies, maintaining a consistent energy through mastering, and even demonstrating the subtle change in saturation, volume, and EQ is more than educational. you should ask yourself why you’ve gotten almost nothing from the video instead of accusing it of lacking substance.

nevermind lol
@@kingbingbong1920 dude I'm a mastering engineer. I still think this was a general discussion about aesthetics and not too educational. Maybe the intent was more marketing for their regular classes. Love the album but wish this video was a bit more in depth.
Sia Mozaffari lol damn i suppose you are in better position to be judging it then i am. your reasons are very fair. it’s definitely more educational for me then it is for you by far.
yeah it's not meant to that, that shit takes like a technical degree to do it right. think this is more for the audio engineer here to give an overview of the process n explain the basics a bit
@@siaseeds8950 You gotta buy the MasterClass ;)
Take away from these videos... when it comes to hiphop/R&B/pop, they're almost always mixed entirely in the box! They're mastered with tons of vintage analog gears though.
Why does this video feel like a meme
Nyles Why?
it doesn’t
why does everything feel like a meme to you people?????????? can we be genuine once and a while
Explanation: I know Jack shit about mastering so anytime he's actually seen doing something instead of talking about how great the record is, the video cuts to his hands barely moving on the sliders for what seems pretty long. Therefore it really gives off a feeling of having been cut and memed. I hope I cleared all misunderstandings.
I love this song but I'm not the biggest fan of its mixing
I mean, tyler did say to him that he wanted it to be 'gross'
Yeah it's kinda hard to make a great mix when u are requested to not make a great mix
The mix is intentional gawddamn
All great but.. Honestly not a fan of this tracks mix. Not much he can do about this. Kick barely gets through that muddy baseline. Snare does not really seem to pop all that much. Definitely expected more after watching this first.
i think that was clearly intentional, the overall feeling of the album was really “low cost” or lo-fi without losing technical quality. also i would be surprised that such a mix wasnt intentional knowing he has such perfectly mixed songs in previous projects
@@sakawa6838 Oh yeah I think that too. I just don't think it fits this tune. This one should make an impact with that dirty bassline if you ask me. But ah well, there's no wrong decisions in music I guess. This one just doesn't fit my persona taste.
i learned nothing
Good for u lol
Mixing and mastering hip-hop all you need is one fader, lmao, I mean aren't samples already mixed when they use them,, lol lol
P.o.B pedals i mean, this really isn’t hip hop tho, plus theres like a bunch of different instruments produced into this song
Bruh lmao
It's not that simple, sure there's samples that are already mixed a certain way but when putting them together you wanna balance and highlight certain stuff and still: this isn't the 90s anymore, Hip Hop has been way more than just samples for a while now.
Also, the only sample in this track is the drums
TSG_Frank right, tyler sampled the drums but that doesn’t mean he was just gonna leave it there and not polish it to his standards, plus that sample is the only sample in the production of this song, the amount of layers in this song is absolutely bonkers
@@favenvrow
Yeah, just hearing the bass, the harmonies, the vocals, there are so many layers at play it's insane
And mixing and mastering dont work that way so please dont make music with this mindset
That’s racist
🤨
Genius? That's a little much.
How about "extremely intelligent"?
@@MixChecks i wasn't talking about the engineer.
LMAO, mastering crap music
He bought a beat online and put his terrible voice over it.
@@byoken ?
This song sucks but I always wanna see how records like these are mastered
New magic wand is powerful. Gives me chills when listened to in the context of the album
JulianBurtonMusic Now I absolutely love when he performs this record tho. Really brings out how talented he is as a performer
@@iankingcarter bold of you to say this sucks when your music is available to the public 🤔
@@aze4964 Just an opinion.
Was this song....good? It sounded like something stuck in your bicycle wheel.
oneammonday this song is nice wdym
It's grimy. that's the point. Not supposed to sound all pristine
So, you LIKE the noises that make up this......song?
@@oneammonday Of course. The bassline is visceral. Killer stuff. The drums are punchy and have impact but sound like they're ripped off an old vinyl record. The melodies of the synths mixing with the vocals sound great. Then there's the breakdown where you hear the jazz-fusion-esque electric piano which has a beautiful chord progressions, and the part where all the elements kick in and start getting progressively more distorted, I love that. That sudden change in dynamics right before the calm of the electric piano section.
@@stpedro-ht9ng Oohh, I see. I didn't listen past the beginning of the video. A few seconds of that chicky-chicky-chicky noise in the beginning made me almost break my finger trying to click the mouse as fast as possible. My mistake, carry on.
Mastering. The biggest bs of the music industry. Black magic
It's true what they say... You really can't polish a turd.
Big Ed lol what
