Please note that as one of the followers pointed out - the side cut won't make everything entirely mono and you will need a secondary tool create this change BUT - this a just a simple tutorial for your DEMO, not for final mastering ;)
Ayeee CHICAGO! Way better EQ video than other ones I’ve seen. But I work 2 jobs, so for now I can’t spend time mastering my own music. So I rather go with the pro like Fabio 💯🎵💪 One day I hope to be a beast in mastering my own music like you dude.
Nice level of detail. Glad you split this into three parts. Also good to see you using stock Ableton devices. I'm coming to the conclusion more and more that this offers a super slick workflow, much as I like say FabFilter EQ. Thanks!
I don't right now but if you would like you can order a mix and master via my website and I can do it in Ableton or Logic with Stock plugs so that you can receive the project back and analyse my changes :)
@@NoizeLondon Think it sounded okay, I actually used your other mastering chain video as a starting point (some filthy techno for your Monday) Listen to The Domination & The Rebellion by Okubi on #SoundCloud soundcloud.com/okubimusic/the-domination-the-rebellion I've learnt a lot from your videos I only started a year ago!
i was kinda telling myself during this il prolly just make the track even worse but after finishing with all the frequency cuts and boosts and turning the grouped eq's on and off i was surprised how much better it sounded
Great video. Please more about eq (with eq8 and eq3 ableton devices) maybe a long definitive masterclass about it... from basics! And more about mixing! Saludos desde Salta, Argentina
In my monitor headphones it sounds like your firts EQ took too much out of the bass, but that might just be the lack of low bass frequencies in my headphone.
@@NoizeLondonI remember you teaching a class I was in at subbass while kirk was away. You mentioned you would be doing a RUclips channel, never imagined it would be this good. Shared your content with the rest of the guys in our class, contents golden mate!!
Yeah, because the difference is miniscule and the talk is big. Good voice, good light, I'm sure a good person, bad tutorial and example. Focusing people on things that are not playing major roles. Seeling them stuff. Entertainment. Ugh, that intro. - Filtering side on the master: the hell low side on master is there for to begin with? Why filter on master and not on the channel itself? Complete neutering of side freqs doesn't work for everything, either. - Low cut on master is a phase shifting issue, and low freqs are ones where you'd really like to avoid that and to have control. Meanwhile, we just cut, why not. Again, how does one end up having a lot of ultra lowfreqs in a SYNTHETIC track? Don't we want to focus on that instead? It's not like there were mics and we have no control over our source. - You want to lower 132 Hz? Lower on the offender. But yeah, this one depends and I guess I should not be upset about it. - You want to accent the hats? Accent the hats. Use dynamic EQ or transient shaper, or ADSR, for god's sake, if you're determined to go stock (and the method is great); to make the attacks (or releases, effects are different) go higher COMPARATIVELY TO OTHER ELEMENTS and other moments in time, not statically for the whole! It's a long long history in audio production. People saying big sweet words and giving almost esotherical explanations, alongside with real theory and experience, to be fair. The caveat of "a demo" is just plain bad. Don't go for a band-aid method when you have your whole mix lying in front of you and it works fine in real time. It's not 2001 anymore. We can do good things.
Hey fabio, It's completely out of the topic, but why your main monitors (focal) are not respecting the triangle equilateral rule ? Wich is "same distance between both monitors and your ears" . I supposed you couldn't make it as your room is not enough big, but does it really matter? Thanks and full support as always
Hey Loïc! Nope nothing to do with my room not being big enough... if anything my room is too big haha! The equilateral triangle 'rule' is more of a guideline. Speaker placement is about what works for you, for the speaker and for the room and can vary from depending on personal preference. I would be weary of rules as they can confine us to believe that math and measurements is better than what our ears want to hear ;) Thanks for watching again bud - I hope that answers your question!
Im producing for almost a year now and i feel like i dont know anything and my tracks aren't good, but my friends like them... is it normal that you go through a phase like that?
Hey bud, if I'm gonna be real with you a year isn't very long at all. I've been producing for 14 years of my life and I really could say that only 4 years ago I started releasing I was proud of and that people liked. 10,000 hours is what it takes to become a professional so keep grinding. Think about how long it would take to become a chef, or a marathon runner - the same patience and mentality applies to music and having a deep understanding of all in the inner workings of making music from the ground up.
@@NoizeLondon the thing is i play guitar for 12 years now and make music even longer so im so disappointed if my work isnt good to me... its like your too critical with yourself... i think it would be much easier if i had no clue about making musik and just started out.

Fair enough Abish! haha - just saw your latest track in my inbox - can't wait to mix and master it :)

Thanks Matt! I love the Ableton stock FX - somewhat more than Logic's if I'm honest because they're so intuitive.
Another greatly informative video!
I'd seen 2 and obviously 3 (yesterday) I'm going to watch them all from scratch now.. Thank you for these Fabio. I'm really looking forward to this..
awesome !!
thank you!! thank you!!!! grazie!! finally the part i was waiting for!!! simply the best Fabio!!
You're welcome Marco!! :)
the Analogy with the painting was spot on, v good tut!
thanks!
This is such a great tutorial thank you so much!
You're welcome homie
As an aspiring mastering engineer, this video is PERFECT. Can't wait for the rest of the series! (unless there's only a part 1 xD)
Great - good luck on your journey - can't wait to show you what's up next ;)
Thank you for the great vid!! It definitely definitely helped me figure out wth I should be doing!! Cant wait for the next one!
No problem Jared - looking forward to hearing some demos from you!
Nice thanks for that 👍
you're welcome ;)
Very well explained video! Looking forward to watch the other two parts as well.
Do you also have some videos about Drum & Bass?
I don't right now but if you would like you can order a mix and master via my website and I can do it in Ableton or Logic with Stock plugs so that you can receive the project back and analyse my changes :)
Love this one Fabio! Would be awesome if you did a track with vocals next time too! Thanks for the help!
Sure thing bud - I am doing the same thing but in Logic also and that track has vocals!
Where was this video like 4 hours ago when I was mastering my demo in Ableton :P
hahaha right here right now!!

I've learnt a lot from your videos I only started a year ago!
Great videos!
Glad you like them!
Love your videos bro, slight but significant
Thanks bud!!
Great video mate. Learnt a lot from that.
You're welcome bud :)
Dude absolute great Tutorial! Keep it up!
💥💥💥
i was kinda telling myself during this il prolly just make the track even worse but after finishing with all the frequency cuts and boosts and turning the grouped eq's on and off i was surprised how much better it sounded
I felt the magic!
ALAKAZAM
Any chance you will release a mixing and mastering course for house/tech house with using only Ableton stock plugins?
Thank u!
Thank you bro!
Great video. Please more about eq (with eq8 and eq3 ableton devices) maybe a long definitive masterclass about it... from basics! And more about mixing! Saludos desde Salta, Argentina
I'll do some full paid courses soon buddy!
Thnks
Nice video, thanks for sharing
You're welcome man :)
Nice Fabio just waiting for parts 2 ,3 👍👍👍👍😎😎
!!! :)
Thanks Fabio!! Nice tips one more time!!
You're welcome!
@11:44 EVERYONE MAKE SURE AND DO THIS FIRST!
Do good 😄
:)
God I love you SO much more than all those 16 year old basement dweller adhd types who make "tutorials".... Youre actually relaxing to listen to lol
haha I'm so glad !
u rip! thanks dog. cool to see how you used the M/S right there. Super simple and super effective. thats sick.
Thanks buddy - yeah its pretty awesome!
How should I start leaning mixing and master in ableton? I know nothing about it but I want to learn it
In my monitor headphones it sounds like your firts EQ took too much out of the bass, but that might just be the lack of low bass frequencies in my headphone.
love you man:)
Love you too bro!
Will this work in Logic? What eq does that in Logic.. I love this man.. thanks
Check the logic version of these videos :)
great video
Thanks bro! :)
A mini serie on mixing !!
This is big!!
Yessir!!!

BRO MAKE VIDEO ABOUT STEMS... HOW SEND STEMS.. LIKE WITH EFFECTS ON OR OFF??
With this kind of tutorials you reach the 200000 faster, believe me ;-)
haha we'll see!
nice vid
I deleted the demo eher do I can get again?
Hey Fabio, which effects would you remove before sending for a professional master? E.g Compressor, saturator?
All of it :)
what is the name of that track?
Yeah!! Is this one released yet?
I was listening to this on beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro and I could barely hear the difference :-(
Listen again and try to focus on the overall feeling rather than big changes.
Yeah, because the difference is miniscule and the talk is big.

@@Vospi You've totally missed the point of the video. We're treating it as if it were a master, not the mix.
RUclips's compression setting make it much harder to hear the little differences
Do you use a sub in your studio? Which?
I don't! My speaker give me enough low end for me to monitor accurately.
Noize London really?cause I have the same focals and I don’t really hear the low end. Thanks
They go down to 35hz so you should be able to! Might be the way you set them up or your room treatment
Noize London i got room treatment but everything change when I added a sub, try it you ll be blown away of the difference.
@@cfig81 I used to work with one and they're great but I can monitor just fine without for now :)

advice really appreciate it :D
Tried this in my new track because why not, and when I turned off the EQ for comparison I almost puked myself

Also, a low cut on a master section is something you might want to avoid.
With oversampling on there is less phase shift, also the phase shift is something to listen out for an not necessarily bad.
