I love this guys perspective on things.
Thank you
Brian is a real dude! I've met my fair share of mastering engineers. None of them were ever this accommodating with me. Most that I've met were stubborn, duplicitous, vague and downright phony! But this guy seems genuinely interested in giving people useful insight and tips on mastering as well as any topics pertaining to it. He never gets too esoteric or wax-poetic or philosophical. Humble and plain spoken. Good on him! I really enjoyed this. Thank you.
Thank you. Sometimes I do get poetic and waxy but if not this time, then great !
First thing I would like to say is Brian Lucey is an absolutely amazing guy. I find that no one likes when engineers (mixing or mastering) tells it how it is from there perspective. Everyone wants to follow what seems to be "THE WAY TO DO IT" when really everything is subjective and its the end result that counts. Brian Lucey is an extremely successful mastering engineer who didn't come on here and tell us bull shit that he thinks we need to hear to make us happy. I can feel that he has given us a snippet of his years of experience which I thank him for. This has got to be one of the best and most insightful mastering videos I have watched. Thank you to Brian and Puremix cheer guys.
Thank you. There is something to learn from everyone and my goal is to get past the normal conversations.
Really enjoyed the whole stream. Lots of great information.
Great, happy you got something here.
@@@brianlucey832 will reiterate really great info. nice to get some info that didn't feel like an advertisement...which is super hard to find now on youtube. Also regarding the 3 second Lucinda thing, I went through your catalog, and just playing a few seconds of each track off an ablum was literally what I did before I even saw that part of the interview. So it was cool to see you tell that story and have the same experience with your stuff. Love your work man.
The best part of the video is at the end when Fab takes the conversation to something real and actually important.
Cool
Fantastic interview. Thank you!
Really enjoyed this. Came to this as someone who has mastered his own stuff and learnt a lot. It's be interesting to know how much mastering the negative commenters have done as to me they come off as teenagers who've once pulled the brake in their dad's car to 'drift' criticising Ken Block.. BTW The stuff good mastering engineers can do with EQ and the choices they make still seems like knowledge of a dark art to me!
what's the name of Brian's place? where is it at? Brian is such a great guy! love his views, how humble and knowledgeable he is.. absolutely LOVE his ear and taste. Thanks for having him!
Magic Garden Mastering
Would be interesting to hear what speaker positions one should use. E. g a small bedroom studio.
That's VERY important and hard to teach in video. I'm working on a way to show that. Basically you want the Mid to Side balance right so you don't over pan or under pan.
Any update on this?
nice !
That mastering room seems very small, and also he put a lot of Realtraps Diffusors Those black walls) , interestingly, the guys from real traps in their video explaining diffusion suggest that is not so good to have diffusors in small rooms at smaller distance from the listener... I wish they could talk more about the room and have a better pan with the camera to see a better perspective.
These walls are within a 3 story concrete structure. You could never have a good room that's 12 x 15 as this room it. The low end goes out the walls into a 2400 sq ft structure. That's why it works so well, it's almost like being out in nature (ideal).
funny how I can hear a reverb whenever he stops a song while digi EQing. seems like he added reverb ontop (although 95% of mastering engineers claim no never use it) also you'll always hear/read "Eq boosts or cuts should never go over 1-2dB" while it's obvious he makes some quick 5dB cuts and 4dB boosts before even going analog
No verb, just a bug in the recording process, maybe from the hallway door being open. Mastering is 99.9% without verb. No one is lying to you there.
Skip to 20:17 for them to get nerdy
Great philosophy beyond! All along with some farts!
what digital eq is that my dogs?
Sequoia's 11/12 stock eq
I have since moved to the ProQ 2
If you are trying to waste time then sure...watch it!
he resembles Mike Wells
8 people are incorrect
Music volume at 100, talking volume at 20 - I can't watch this, once he starts playing music the volume jumps kill me.
That's good feedback, I'm sure they made a note.
01:12:02 "He doesn't hear or believe in cable tone" No one does. Because it's nonsense.
actually his hero Bob Ludwig believes in Cables, he have a couple of cables that he swears by them and think the cost like 6K
Except all the gear makers who know better, and have all the analytical tools in the world. Cables are easy. Capacitors and Diodes are the real trick.
"vibe is so important" followed by "sequence is so important" followed by heavy ass skipping through the songs. makes my brain hurt. i´m just never digging mastering engineers who don´t have the patience and work as they listen to the whole thing. the skipping makes it feel technical only, loudness, frequency, but the last guy to touch some art should respect the whole and not just it´s technical specifications. makes everything else he has to say kind of dispensable for me.
There is nothing about what I do that is technical only. Over the year I have become more fast, to stay fresh and because it's intuitive ... feeling and analyzing can be fast. Sorry that doesn't connect for you :)
@@brianlucey832 right yes. I think I got what you were doing. That looked more like an initial setup process balancing the tracks right? And I'd imagine you'd WANT that to be quick and spontaneous..
