    Hey Will, I am sitting here about to master my first official track I'll be releasing on Spotify within the next week or two and I just wanted to say thank-you. Kind of a surreal moment. I've been starting every morning of my day for the past year learning music production through your channel and to see how far I've come from exactly one year ago when I decided to go all in on this is crazy. I cant believe I know the skills I have now, and that is all thanks to you. Your teaching structure, course, youtube content, and friendly/easy going personality is always the highlight of my day and we appreciate you more than you know.

    My fav tip in here was about the reductive EQ, cutting out the ultra low end below 30-40hz. I never imagined doing that, but I just tried it out and was able to get my overall master louder as you mentioned, without losing that low end energy. Another awesome video full of highly practical tips.

    • @fender97
      @fender97 2 года назад +3

      Yes, you cannot hear below around 30hz instead you can feel it more. Try it with a frequency generator app on your system.
      Too much sub low end can take the energy out a track because the speakers have to move a lot of air.

    • @StormbreakerYT
      @StormbreakerYT 11 месяцев назад +2

      Sometimes it can destroy your low end . I never do it and yet nobody complains . Also make sure when you eq your low end that your eq plug-in is set to linear mode otherwise your phase of the lows will change resulting in a different sound

      honestly i LOVE the shadowhills compressor. I nabbed a free copy when Plugin Aliance did that big give away to announce the partnership/merger. The three "metal" options at the bottom give so much color to the sound that complements my sound that i find myself using it on my bus for vocals (-1 db per each of the two compressors) and then zero compression just for saturation on the master chan all the time.

    Hey man thanks for the videos!! I was mentored by a Mastering Engineer. I was taught to master looking at RMS and to forget about LUFS. LUFS is perceived loudness while RMS is true volume.

    • @danielecherivel7831
      @danielecherivel7831 Год назад

      Can you elaborate a bit more on how to monitor RMS levels?

    • @AdamEzraOfficial
      @AdamEzraOfficial Год назад

      @@danielecherivel7831 most DAWs come with “metering” plugins that show you the LUFS and RMS. If not pick up a 3rd party plug-in that does.
      RMS is the old school metering, but it might be worth your time mastering in LUFS since the industry is changing its practices.
      For LUFS mastering you want your target to be around -8 to -9 LUFS at peak energy the RMS should be around -10 or -12 if the stereo perceived is good, so yeah you are looking at that range for RMS. If the mix is good and the stereo field is lovely spread your LUFS will be a -3 DB difference usually. LUFS was developed to combat the loudness wars with the -14 LUFS but none of the professional engineers adapted it. All the top 20 tracks masters in the charts are ranging from -5 to -9 LUFS at peak energy. So do what the pro engineers do, not what Spotify or RUclipsrs recommend. Spotify will level it out anyway. However if you master the -14 LUFS that’s when the problems occurs, it’s a quiet master and there is an option on Spotify to turn normalisation off to hear the true master.
      So let’s say you are listening to Justin Bieber and his master is -6LUFS ( which one of his masters actually is). Then you flick to yours at -14 LUFS, it will just sound bad and people would need to reach for the volume or just skip your song. How long does it take for a listener to listen before the stream counts? See what I mean?
      Hope this helps.

    As someone who does live sound mixing, even if a live system is capable of putting out under 40hz, it can just muddy up things anyways especially with edm where you can easily push any frequency to any level.
    Since I'm also a bassist, on a bass guitar the low b on a 5/6 string bass is ~30 hz and the low e is around 41hz and many headphones you barely hear the low e and even cheap guitar tuning pedals can't even process the low b due to how they're built!
    If you really want to, when you're playing a show have a live mix with some of those lower frequencies with a shallower HPF so it still attenuates and doesn't just rattle the subs, stage, etc!

    Soothe 2 is best way to get an anti annoying sound . Dynamically reducing the 3-4k frequencies makes your track sound less harsh and more smooth without lacking there . Also Tonal Balance Control helps me to make sure I have enough lows,mids,highs . Sometimes my tracks have waaaay to much highs and really quite bass . I only use eq and a limiter and those two plugins for mastering . No compression , no saturation, no Ozone 9 or 10 . And it always sounds completely dynamic, aggressive yet smooth and I peak around -5 to -6 LUFS . Perfect

    A "shortcut" way to master your tracks is to throw on a Linear Phase EQ on the Master. Roll off everything under 30Hz, make a 2-3db boost at around 2500-3000Hz, then add a 4-5db gain at everything over 8000Hz. This will give your track a lot more clarity from the get go.

    The part you left out of your Spotify “hack” is that if your breaks are too low in volume the don’t contribute to the integrated LUFS. So if you want your “hack” to work the low volume song sections should be within 6 or 7 db of the loudest sections, that way they contribute to the integrated LUFS calculation.

    Amen brother, these tutorials are so so good and helpful. One question though: Should the reference track be in the same key as your own track? Because otherwise I think it is not that wise to compare exact frequencies down to the Hz. A track that has a bassline in C will of course have a lower frequency bassline than a track in G.

    I was surprised to see Bark of Dog being used considering it's just an EQ with a narrow band, and you got Pro Q and so one quite able to do the same and with even more control (and as quickly)... The rest feels maybe a bit much for mastering (but nothing worrying), like most of pro says, and that's the same for me: the less the better at that stage, one or 2 color eq, one compressor and one limiter you're probably good to go ;) After its music so whatever works in the end :D

    if your going the route with the seinheisers id recommend getting peace as its free and they have eq curves for the 650s. thats what ive been using as a free option.

    Great video Will, and useful points, except for the bit about loudness for Spotify, which I'm afraid you've got really wrong. For the Beatport version, you are probably over-limiting (for this subgenre), as 7dB gain reduction is a lot, and is likely to lead to audible artefacts when limiting. On the other hand, for the Spotify version, you are probably under-limiting, which will lead to a spiky and weak-sounding mix when compared to similar tracks. Isn't the whole point of mastering to get your track sounding consistent with other tracks in the subgenre?
    If you don't believe me, take an SPL meter and measure the loudness of your chosen reference track, 17, both on Spotify (with loudness normalisation disabled in your Spotify settings) and of the Beatport download. The loudness is exactly the same! And yes, I'm using the extended club mix. All Spotify loudness normalisation does for tracks louder than -14 LUFS is turn them down, so they sound the same volume as other tracks (assuming peak loudness is -1dB of course).
    When you've got 100K+ subscribers I think you have a bit of responsibility to be certain you know what you're talking about, so I'm disappointed to see this on what often is a very helpful channel full of great content. I hope you take this constructively. Cheers.

      No disrespect, but the entire video is a gross misrepresentation of mastering.

    • @mr.sandman7098
      @mr.sandman7098 Год назад +2

      Yeah the loudness suggestion here seems pretty off... Of course Spotify lowers to -14, but if you submit a track at -14, without limiting it/barely limiting it, it's going to be far quieter than commercial tracks because you're missing the compression the limiter gives which makes the track far more full. They might both still be at "-14" but as shown in the video, the dynamic of the limited version is ~6 which is pretty good, but the dynamic range of the non-limited version is ~12... not good.

      @@EDMTips actually, I'm playing around with it currently :) I don't have every plugin you use, but similar ones and it already sounds better than my previous setup. Less aggressive and I never used a limiter at the end and my glue compressor was also set up the wrong way.
      I'm just a hobbyist who never is happy with the results, and I am usually just trying to fight my way through with the help of tutorial videos and this time I notice quite a difference that I like :D

    On the Limiter, you didnt touch the output. I saw some producers using -0.3db at output. They said, when the track is downloaded in mp3 tend to raise about 0.3db and it can clip. So, this way you lose a little bit of gain but avoid clipping when someone will buy your track in mp3, like beatport, etc. Can you confirm that?
