    Pre-heat FL Studio to 250°F, and leave in for 30-40 minutes until golden brown if you want really crispy hi hats

    Quick tip for any starting producers, if you have to do a Db boost of more than 1-2Db on your master when EQing, there’s a problem with your mix, don’t do that, rather go back to your mix and check out what’s not hitting hard enough in that frequency range, maybe add a compressor to something in that range or some saturation etc and check again. Also, when EQing, reduce before you boost, reducing a certain frequency range will boost its counter part range, cleaning up one area and boosting the juicy part. Whereas just boosting the juicy range will give you a nice sound in that range but will leave a lot of mud in other ranges, resulting in ear bleeds

    Dude, thanks for the "Limiter before Clipper" tip!
    I never really could get my kick hit hard enough using a Clipper alone. Now with a Limiter before the Clipper i got this "crisp-crunchy smack" i always wanted and never quiet achieved.
    THANKS!!!

    2 other tips people need to know are:
    1. Once you feel your mix is how you want it to sound, turn down the master channel volume. The sounds that are way too loud will punch right through the track and you’ll be able to see that after turning down the master channel. Bring the volume back up and everything sounds more level.
    2.(If your DAW doesn’t allow you to change your tracks mono/stereo setting, you may need plugins for this).
    After you get your mix levelled, change the mono setting to max. From here is where you can see if anything is still too loud or way too quiet. The trick with this tip is that Mono makes all of your mixes sound bad, but if you can get the whole track to sound good on Mono, your track will most likely sound good any where.
    *note that you should not do both of these thing at once.
    Doing so will over complicate your mix.

      Every single person who has said not to mess with the master track never gave a reason not to. I’ll send a link that goes through the reason why you should.

      The video is really long but the part that I’m talking about is around 35:44.
      There’s multiple ways to mix, and maybe your way of mixing is better, but this way just works really for me. I don’t like mixing and I don’t know how to tell the difference in a mix because I don’t try. These tricks just make my mix sound professional without any effort.
      You don’t have to take these tips, but it doesn’t hurt to take into consideration.😁😁

    • @htb123times
      @htb123times 6 лет назад +10

      Oleg Smirnov it's cause he hasn't really leveled/mixed anything down which results in a really muddy result. After you level everything you typically want everything to be peaking around -6/-3 db and then ease everything in the master. Everything depends though and in the end if it sounds good, keep it

      @zchryw 6 лет назад +1

      Like Mai said if you don't know how to use it then don't, but if you do know how to use it then it's one of the most beneficial plugins. FL limiter is very useful in the right hands, you just need knowledge to get around the unnecessary compression. Mai is clearly stating its not for beginners/intermediate, but is in fact more useful than 3rd party mastering plugins (with the right settings). Very useful plugin, learn more about your DAW.

  • @less101
    @less101 6 лет назад +4

    it makes more sense to use the limiter at the bottom of your chain, cus when its at the top - it squashes your sound and theres nothing to clip except the EQ boosts and IMO should be used to gain up the sound after the soft clipper...just my 2 cents

    you want to make sure you’re peaking -6db without any fx on the master and then limit (or maximize) at -6db. threaded processing wise, i always put the limiter at the very bottom and compress before limiting. i guess it depends on genre though. but hey. i do things entirely differently 💀

    Keep this in your ears folks , a mix can be mastered with these 5 crucial things with no doubt :
    1 - you must can see the sound!! there s no way you can master untill you see it!
    2 - you need a multiple output sound card with minimal latency .
    3 - you need to understand acoustics and also threat your room with the necessary acoustic compounds.
    4 - you need to properly equalize and know enviroment characters en tone differences.
    5 - you need good flatrate speakers and correct setup and measurement of your listening spot etc.
    in a home studio , you will only reach about 70 - 80 percent of mastering and mixing , this other 30 percent is only accomplishible with threatment of your room and the 5 issues i ve written above. there is no way you can accomplish without...or you must be a very high intelligent in pschychologics. i am a very extreme mastering engineer , i can do everything with the simplest soundcard and on the simplest headphones or any sound device ..it costed me 5 years on only equalizing and mastering individual instruments ..so i know what i am talking about.. just dont loose the faith .

    Be careful with that SSL eq on your master, it has clipping built in so when you hit the red like you are here you are adding distortion to your mix.
