This channel is by far the best and most real world mastering content. You guys are amazing and thank you from a mastering engineer and also teaching other to hear what they don’t understand

[@MR_Cellarpop]

Thanks! Best/Mathias

[@dagovevareberg]

Big thanks for this useful pack of tips, definitely learned something new! Wish: It would be great to see how you would tweak the look ahead in the first example to get rid of the distortion and also in the other examples. But very useful that you categorized the different types of problems. Thanks again 🙏

I love this channel so damn much

I’m a complete amateur self learner and based on a bunch of RUclips videos, I just jam a limiter with -0.3db to avoid blowing up the volume bar in the mastering chain. And I feel most of the songs don’t sound quite right no matter how I adjust the rest of the mix. But it is probably what you’ve illustrated in this video, and my random uneducated use of the limiter that causes this. Thank you and I’ll dive deeper into this topic.

I've always found it difficult to grasp limiting as a compressor or even the implications of compression itself. You're trained as a newbie as something that makes it louder but the risks are never really communicated well.
The main one I've heard is it could kill you low end. This has been useful

Very cool! And concise! Very useful having the visual there as well.. THANK YOU 🙏🕊️✨

This was actually so helpful. Thanks. Also it is a super short video that easily can be sheard.
It might have been helpful to show a simple limiter plugin and show the changes made, while listening to the difference. For beginners that have not used limiters a lot.
I know this channel focuses on mastering, thus fixing small mistakes is a big part of it. But a video on how to tell that your mix could benefit from using a limiter would also be a helpful video.

I love that. Thanks and thanks to my headphones too 😊
