Yo', Wavy Wayne. I'm using FG-X2 now and have to tell you, that this mastering plugin is a dream come true for me!!! It has and does everything that I need to finish all of my music. I'm all in! Slate Digital has bull-eyed the mastering target with this one. An absolute game changer! Thank you for your very informative, knowledgeable & professional demonstration, Wavy...John aka Solo/Etcetera, SuperMayne Productions. Blessings my brotha' 😎😁😉😜👍❤💥
Wayne is one of the nicest dudes to explain everything, makes it easy to follow and take in the information. And best thing, he knows what he’s talking about and what certain knobs really do, unlike other people on youtube 😂 peace and love, great video! 🔥🙏
I think it's called a dark art, 13:44, because for a long time, so few people had "good, trained" ears (for music production). Since in the box production has taken over, and because of the general state of the economy and planet earth, more and more new musicians were forced to pick all this up over the years, in GREAT detail. So now, more people have better ears (hopefully). It takes a while to get there, and from so many years of listening to loud music, I'm quite sure mine (and most of our years), are a little damaged. One visit to an ENT a couple years ago to suck out ear wax, and they did some frequency tests, and true enough... my hearing has been damaged at some frequencies. Add a crying screaming kid to the mix for those of us who have families, and where kids go off right next to your ears without warning... and it takes a lot, to hold a music career together.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah, I'm mad. I have the all access pass at slate digital which is very awsome by the way, but I been looking at initial Audio's mastering plugin cause I deemed it's easier and more functional than the fg-x mastering plugin at slate digital and finally made the decision to buy initial audio's mastering plugin just yesterday, just to come across this video introducing an updated version of slate digital fg-x mastering plugin, which by the way looks so dope. I could have saved that 50 dollars. Again..........Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!
Everyone's losing their minds over another mastering tool that I do not own. It occurred to me that my Slate All Access includes FG-x 2. Within about ten minutes, I had made the adjustments needed on my most recent mix. I'm using it as a plugin within Izotope Rx which is working very well. The metering presets are handy. A little goes a long way when dialing in the low and high and transient detail etc. the combination of the two working together seems to give me a very similar mastering platform. Great video. Thanks.
Dope video Wavy Wayne! I wish I would’ve saw this vid before uploading my song on Distrokid 😅 I played with the FG-X buttons by ear and the first one I used was the gain in on the button left corner. Also this track is fire, RIP PnB🙏
This is an amazing sounding plugin. I already have a limiter that I love, but this really makes me want to switch to the FG-X 2. It makes everything easier.
Seems like a cool limiter. Comp and the advance features with the different algorithm options is nice. That said, this track is still pretty quiet. Definitely doesn't sound like it's at "mastered" loudness for the genre. Listen to similar tracks like "The Story of OJ". Sitting around 8-10LUFs, 7 when the kick is hitting.
Right, that's because he was mastering for music streaming services in this video. Usually Apple Music and Spotify have their own personal loudness ceiling. 8-10 LUFS usually is mastering for a cd or digital download.
Is this all you peeps run in the master ? Asking for a friend ; new to this ! Better question is.. would this suffice in the master? Or are other plugins added prior or after ?
Anyone else have an this issue wherr the plugin doesnt function right or know what may cause it? The plugin doesnt show any of the meters or knobs so it makes it almost unusable. I only have this problem with the fgx2, mo-tt, and infinity eq. I can't figure out why.
First video I clicked on about this plugin and the last video I will be watching. Everything I needed to know, thank you WAVEY WAAAAAYNE 🔥🔥🔥
Probably one of the Best plugin tutorial style videos I've seen. Thank you Wavy Wayne for keeping it real and informative! Excellent!

Great tutorial man this was very helpful
I appreciate that it was straight to the point lol
Ive been using this plugin for about a year and mann this is so easy to use and sounds amazing

Just came right in time! Was looking for a modern mastering suite the last few days. This came in handy, as a slate all access pass user!
I'm definitely excited to add this to my arsenal. FG-X definitely needed an update. Great track bro.

Terrific explainer, thanks Wayne! Your videos are just SO helpful to the DIY musician, I appreciate you.

Slate always coming with fire
Awesome video! Glad y’all were able to escape so you can make more Country Metal!
Great plug in!

Awesome, demystified this plugin for me.
I needed that homie! 💪🏾🤌🏾

I love my all access pass and this mastering plugin is fire!.

Does it have oversampling?

I like to meter using short term LUFS is there a way to set that?
Lol I have all access pass and it's Sep 2024 and I'm still using FG-X. There's... an update? LOLOLOL
Is this all you peeps run in the master ?
Asking for a friend ; new to this !
Better question is.. would this suffice in the master? Or are other plugins added prior or after ?
Bump
Soong fireeeeeer
Dope! 🦾🎶
Hot 🔥 track to demo this plug in with!!!
Back in the day, Slate was always saying this would be a free update to FG-X purchasers. Is this still the case?
If you have the all access pass you can update automatically im not sure if its a free update if you have a perpetual license for .
FG-X 2 is free for all FG-X perpetual license owners! More details here - slatedigital.com/fg-x-2
@@SlateDigitalTV Great news! Thank you 🙂
Why can't I delete my slate plugins of logic pro even when I uninstall them?
🔥🔥🔥
PLEASSSSEE Guys add a soft/Hard clipper to the bundle
Anybody notice the lufs for Spotify on the FGx2 is - 10. But on Expose 2, it's - 14 lufs. 🤷🏼♂️ So is the FGx2 wrong? By the way, I'm loving the fgx2
Spotify says -14 but -10 is actually more realistic I find.
Thanks for that!
I do -9 on Spotify long as you under -1 true peak they won't turn you down
Solid ; makes sense
Thank you so much @slatedigital

good tutorial except for that CRAP RAP !!! SO CALLED MUSIC..better demonstrated using normal bass , drums, vocals, ...NORMAL MUSIC !!!
Subjective
Why I can’t see my whole plugin for? For example I can’t see the bottom of my plugin… can’t see “lufs”
