@@1fam.jxrdii If it's on your computer screen it is indeed a digital meter. And as shown in this video, you can read the increments off of a different window than the simulated needle.
Even though I'm on Logic now, I still come to your videos. Mainly cuz there's always something to learn, but also cuz I feel connected to you cuz in my starting days when I had just got Garageband and opened it for the first time, you were the one who was kind of the first person I learned stuff from. Thanks Lewin! Cheers!
Same here...I do have a question though...i mastered one of my track ideas the other day and my reference song was at -6 after bringing it in..wouldn't -10 actually not be as loud as what is on the radio or mainstream songs? Thx.
Again. Thank you so much for this valuable lesson. I had a query with regard to the first step. How do we determine the initial gain (in your case, you mentioned 16db) and how do we adjust to -1db for the loudest part. If you can shed some light there, would be great.
Awesome tutorial, thanks! Plugins were easy to find and use, just as show in videos. The comment below from ARS marked IMPORTANT about the auto normalization was essential to getting the value from the tutorial. But it's a wonderful tutorial and really enhanced my latest garageband project in exactly the way I was hoping for. Highly recommended if you're into DIY with garageband and free plug-ins.
Thanks for the video tutorial. Appreciate you sharing your experience and knowledge. Also picked up a pair of IK Multimedia Micro Monitors for my untreated home studio. Sound great so far. Looking forward to mixing/mastering with them.
hey so i followed all the steps provided in the video and for some reason my master track is way quieter than it should be. any reasons that could be? auto normalization is off
How do I know which version to use with Monterey 12.6? I've successfully downloaded MVMeter2 but whilst I can bring it up in my master track, I don't get the visual with the VU meters. Advice below says download an older version, but how do you do that? There's only two options for Mac on the TB download page, and I've tried both. I'm raring to go, but literally getting nowhere.
very helpful man.. I used to do my thing there and once I play it on my car .. I feel my car is about to explode .. but after this video.. it's just another level .. still high sound and headbanging but my car speakers are healthy again XD .. like they're good now you know what i mean ;) Thanks !!
When I try to use the mvmeter2 again when i go to factory presets I online get one option witch is pres 0: init ? Im confused can u give me a pointer ?
Doesn’t look like iOS supports mv meter 2 anymore. I don’t see it on the App Store. Is there another meter that I can download that will work with GarageBand? Thanks
IMPORTANT: Make sure to turn off Auto Normalize in Garageband preferences. Neglecting to do this led to no improvements in volume between my song before and after using the tips in this tutorial.
The initial downloading of this plug-in was perfect, however the last time I opened it the only window available was the one with faders. Do not have the option to view the needle meter and don't even have the cool blue panel in the controls area. This is also the case with other plug-ins as well. Have restarted computer several times. Have 2021 MacBook with M1 chip. I could work with fader window, but so much easier with the meter.
I've just come across this, and gave it a try. The sound is good, but the volume is a lot lower than the pre-mastering volume. Have I missed something?
This is, by far, the most informative and easily accessible Garageband tutorial site on the internet - full commendation to Lewin for putting in the time and effort. A few questions (and bear with me, I'm a novice): 1. At the mastering stage, do adjustments to compression settings, etc, actually override all those already made in the individual tracks, or is the result additive/cumulative? I was wondering, for example, what is actually happening to those settings, when something like 'Fast Attack 4 Band' is applied, at the mastering stage, via the Multipressor. Am I replacing my earlier adjustments, or in some way, adding to them? And does it matter? 2. after exporting as an AIFF file, does anything further need to de done with that file? I've seen some tutorials where the mastering is actually done on the AIFF file - or is this just for scenarios where a collection of tracks are being readied for album format? Thanks.
I'm seeing 2 Mac version options and am not sure which is right for my situation. "Two versions of downloads are provided: GPU (OpenGL/Metal GFX card required) and no GPU (GUI rendered by CPU)." How do I determine whether I have a Metal GFX card?
Hoping you can help me with a basic issue that I can’t figure out or find online. I see the tracks in your video frequently expanded vertically so the content on the tracks can be expanded seen easily. How do you accomplish this? Sorry to ask such a dumb question but can’t figure this one out??
@@GaragebandandBeyond Thanks for the info. So I am hoping to use the expanded view to see the recorded data for editing purposes. I presume I can run the editing screen below as well at the same time?
I downloaded and ran the installer for the MV Meter 2 but I haven't figured out how to open it in GarageBand. I'm a newer GB user and this is the first plug in I've added. (Other than purchasing Main Stage and getting all the additional "Logic Pro" goodies that are included in this $30 application)
You didn't include how to make the different song parts go under or over the different levels in the meters/plugins. I assumed it's by changing the volume/volume automation for the loud parts. Great video!
First of all what is mastering? No one has ever come up with a concrete definition. Every mastering engineer makes it sound like it's some magic trick y'all are performing. Are the universal basic concepts and principles that every engineer needs to learn? If there are, what are they? If they aren't why call yourselves engineers? What are examples of well mastered music recordings? More importantly what are examples of poorly mastered music recordings? These are some of the burning questions I as an hobbyist amateur music producer have regarding mastering but no one has ever answered to my satisfaction. Still, I appreciate this tutorial.
Thanks Lewin for all your videos, there is a video that you have but I don't remember which one it is and you mention to go to preferences and on advance settings unclick the export at full volume, if I am exporting AIFF and than mastering, I should un click that or just un clic that always for a better mix and master, thanks have an excellent day and weekend.
I must be missing something. I have done this but when I export from garageband, it seems the same. What I mean is I have changed the dB gain in the EQ from zero to 5dB and when I export it, share export song to disk mp3 format, then open it in itunes, it is the same volume. I figured if I set the master track to gain of 5dB it would export louder... not the case? So am I exporting the master track correctly? Everything I do sounds nice when in garageband but when I export it, the song is quiet. Under perferences advance I do not have auto normalizer checked, I read where that could make things quite. Love your channel... hope you can assist here Thanks Dean-O
GaragebandandBeyond I did check that as I wrote in my original post. Can I send you the .band file and see if it is something to do with the original tracks? There are only 10 tracks. Four vocals and guitar, bass, kick drum, accordion and shaker egg
GaragebandandBeyond may seem like a simple question... but when I have all the tracks and do the mastering you show here... that goes to the master track right? So when I select share export to disk, what is it exporting? The master track or all 11 tracks? Ten original tracks and the master as one exported file or just the exported master track? I see no way to say only export the master track
Hi I love your videos and the mixing series that you've made its really helped my mixing sound more professional! i ran into an issue when mastering my tracks, when I use the mv meter it doesn't come up as a scale it comes up as a knobs and it makes it a whole lot more confusing and overwhelming. is there any way to switch the presentation to make the scale come up?
There should be an option section in garageband's setting preferences that says 'advanced'. Click that and there should be a box that's labeled 'export projects at full volume'. Make sure the box is clicked/turned on.
Thank you for the super-clear and easy to follow steps. One question: In the second use of the MVmeter2 (RMS), when I turn the knob up to get -10dB RMS max, I get a lot of distortion. Anything above about +5dB on the knob gives distortion, but the max RMS only gets to -13dB. Any ideas?
I'm also not ever seeing my signal waveform enlarging ~ as yours is clearly evidenced in compare & contrast images as well as in your sound. Do I turn up the gain in the EQ section? When I do it does get a little louder but I'm still not seeing any difference in the waveform. Will check out your other videos to see if you address that elsewhere. Also, the audio I'm inputting (dragging in), while not clipping should be plenty loud enough.
I have downloaded and tried to install this 3 times but all I get are manuals...where is the actual application? Looked in my Library,Sounds...thank you...still learning. ^..^
Sorry, I've just install this on Mac and the plugin is coming with no skin loaded. Instead of having the very beautiful UI, I have a list of things that I don't understand at all. Can you help me on this plz?
I'm loving these tutorials. Super clear and useful. Silly question I'm sure, but I'm not certain how to add this meter 'pre fader' in Garageband as suggested. Could anyone help out?
Hi there - thank you for your tips. I've downloaded the VU meter that you mentioned in your video, but I can't seem to figure out how to bring it up as you did. I don't see it listed in that section of my GB session. Sorry... kind of new to the world of GB OS version. Thanks.
I cannot for the life of me get this plugin to show up or appear anywhere. I've downloaded it, restarted the computer, the program, enabled AUs, but there is no mvMeter button appearing in my plug-ins on the master track. Just the defaults
Hello again.. I was just reviewing this video again. This may very well be the only video that didn't include the use of a Limiter during the mastering process. Wondering if you actually didn't use it or if you didn't mention it because it's such a "given" during this process. Cheers.
So I downloaded the plug-in and I rebooted my Mac and found it in garageband. The only problem is that when I open the plug-in on my master track, it only open the outer window of the plugin and it does not allow me to actually use the software. It is super glitchy and messed up and I am wondering if anyone else has run into a similar problem and if there is anything that can be done.
Go up to the “track” pulldown menu and at the bottom you will see something that says “show master track”, select that and it will appear at the bottom of the tracklist in the main window.
I'm dragging audio in from outside of GB.& was wondering how do I get the levels up to where you already had yours at the beginning of this video. Is that in another video?
I love your vids. Can you help me with a simple thing. I don't have the (line, dot) graph symbol at the top of the tracks list. I have the plus symbol and the scrolling line symbol and that's it. So I can't do audio edits to my vocals. I hope that's clear. Appreciate the help.
I need help, every time I export, it always seems to have a volume drop and then go back to normal at some point, but on garageband it sounds fine, only happens on exported file.
I notice that GB Master Track and Volume meters show a lot of red after I setup the two MVMeter2 meters on some songs. They sound good and load, without distortion. Have I done something wrong? Or, should I trust the MVMeter2 and what I hear?
Hi, thanks for the great video but I don't understend. I put a meter on master and set VU near - 1 on loud part. I put another meter in rms and set near - 10 but the garageband meter is red clip. After bounce master and look the wavefoem there are many square clip. Why? I do the same things of the video. Thanks in advance for the reply.
@@GaragebandandBeyond I'm having the same issue. When I bumped up the RMS standard like you did it really bumped up the volume and sounded fine in the mix, but the exported clip (uncompressed 24 bit and without the normalize in preferences) and then dragged that back into the mix, it was just too clippy. How do you make the music loud at export without the clipping??

Hi, thanks for the great video but I don't understend. I put a meter on master and set VU near - 1 on loud part. I put another meter in rms and set near - 10 but the garageband meter is red clip. After bounce master and look the wavefoem there are many square clip. Why? I do the same things of the video. Thanks in advance for the reply.
Make sure that the "Normalize" box in NOT checked in your Garageband preferences.
@@GaragebandandBeyond I'm having the same issue. When I bumped up the RMS standard like you did it really bumped up the volume and sounded fine in the mix, but the exported clip (uncompressed 24 bit and without the normalize in preferences) and then dragged that back into the mix, it was just too clippy. How do you make the music loud at export without the clipping??
OK nvm, i should've just dragged my export into a new mastering project, not the mix so it sounds better now. Oopsy
