      @@inthemix thanks for the answer. I have never used that method with fade because sometimes I think it sounds wird when I make a fade in the beginning, but maybe it is because I over done it. BTW it is nice to get a new view on mastering I have always used ozone8 master assisten and nothing els, so it is nice to know there are so many things to do in the master process.

      Great video as always. Interesting info on the dithering i only really dither when i need a 16bit file from say a 24bit file. But never stopped to think whether the distribution houses are dithering when they convert into a multitude of bitrates. Although most distribution places i've used still require 16bit so i've dithered down to 16bit from 24bit anyway. Great tune that, still love it even though i've probably heard it like a thousand times! ;-)

You are giving Master Classes for free. I also watched Paid Production Classes by the Pro but they are not able to Clarify the details, I'm not saying that they are not good in Production, but Knowing Something and explaining it both are different things. Teaching someone and clear their doubts is an Art.... Keep Going bro... Wish you the best.....

    Youlean Pro has helped me tremendously. I now have full confidence that my mixes sound consistent from song to song and I am in full control of how much streaming sites will turn my mix down because I know exactly what my integrated loudness is. I do not work for them or get any compensation from them. It's just a great plugin that every engineer should have on the mix bus.

  • @mgmthegrand
    @mgmthegrand 3 года назад +1

    I'm learning more about the skill and art of mastering specifically since I'm trying to up my profile as a sound engineer. As my experience is mainly in mixing and production, I only know the very basics about mastering. In earlier years I used to use Wavelab to arrange my tracklist, create markers and export my full album projects, but I'd send that to a mastering engineer for mastering. Lately I've been messing with Ozone in Cubase to master my singles, which has taught me much and works very well.
    I recently sat in on a MIXING session with a mastering engineer who mainly deals with hip-hop and uses Waveburner which I believe was packaged last with Logic Pro 9.5. He swears by it. I brought up Wavelab as the mastering DAW that I'm familiar with and also brought up Ozone as a great plugin app for mastering in a DAW. To my surprise he seemed quite inflexible when comparing ANYTHING to Waveburner. Throughout the session there are other practices that I picked up which left me bewildered, like how he didn't gainstage or didn't seem to monitor is levels and how the master was peaking at +0.4... many of the things that I'd learn when studying sound and that I've been learning and reading about more recently about mastering specifically from pros online, were not being followed in this session. I soon found out he was proud to have been "self-taught", as he put it. After the mixing session, I later received the final master. When I listened to it, I thought it might be distorting and was a bit to heavily compressed. I checked it with Izotope's Insight and, among other issues that raised my eyebrows, the true peak maxed at +0.7.

    This experience left me with a lot of questions. Are my ears deceiving me or does what Insight reflected confirming what I was hearing? Am I being to nerdy about gainstaging and clipping the master bus or are these "rules" that are not as flexible as those applied during the creative and pre-production process? Are the fundamental principles of sound engineering no longer applicable or do we actually need them now more than ever in an era of ever-changing technologies and applications which are now accessible to anyone who can train themselves to be a self-taught professional?
    Throughout my career the most pervasive idea I've heard, and that I hear more and more now, is that "there are no rules". But as I gain more experience I realise that this is more of a self-fulfilling prophecy by those who don't fully appreciate the complexity of the skills and knowledge required to excel in the discipline of creating, producing, mixing and/or mastering. Add to that the plethora of plugins and the questionable advice from an endless supply of self-proclaimed online gurus promising an ever easier way of getting your mix to sound just as good as the pros or a way of creating and producing music without even needing to know the theory behind it, and you have a situation where people don't feel they really need to learn the basics at all because the technology seems to it all for you anyway.
    I've rambled quite a bit. I know I likely won't get a response because this is so long and I'm not famous, but I hope I do. I will post a comment with some more specific technical questions, but it would be great to hear what other people think about my rant. Thanks for reading if you got this far.

    I really liked you mentioned the TDR plugins, they not only have free versions but all of them are made with mastering in mind too. Btw people, for those looking for a free limiter and dither I can give you two options: Kilohearts Limiter and Airwindows Ditherbox (the last one isn't available for Pro Tools). I recommend putting Ditherbox at the end of the plugin chain, and setting it to TPDF 16 (or TPDF 24 if you're gonna export at 24 bits), and when you export the master, deactivate the dither from your DAW.

This one has really helped me understand what i need to achieve in order to get a track sounding right for the digital platforms. I use Logic which has a stock loudness meter but I'm inclined to get the free one as it seems to have better features. Especially drag and drop to analyze the end result.

    Great content, but I still see a lack of missing information there. For example, what about the mid-side EQ ? Or the true about most of successful releases where the LUFS goes up to -9/-8/-7 ? I know Spotify asks you for -12 -13 full scale but there certain parameters that goes out in the real industry. What about automation? I think tracks needs to be more dynamical instead of being flatten with compression and saturation. The natural perspective is lost today. I think there is more to be covered in this tutorials. I really got some help form this but I still believe there has to be more things explained that are missing.
