    I know I'm a year behind on this. But as a newbie that is understanding how to use GB and Sound Engineering, this series has laid such a great foundation. Thank you for all the time you put into this.

    I'm doing my first solo album from home as I was made disabled in an accident, doing everything from home has been challenging but fun but the one thing I could never do in my 17 years as a musician is mastering, thanks to you that ain't the case anymore! Thank you so much for your videos mate honestly, my album sounds so much better already and I can't wait to see what the rest sounds like in the end. So you have a new fan & subscriber in me, cheers!

    I’m working through an EP right now where all five songs flow seamlessly into each other. I’ve been testing transitions in a separate file with all the WAVs as I’m working.
    It seems like once I finish mixing I’ll just replace all the rough mix WAVs with the finals and set up that file with the metering in the “master” section. That’s a smart way to work around GB limitations to provide accurate metering one spot.
    I feel like I have gotten more value out of this channel than damn near anywhere else. Really thankful for what you’re doing.

    great little tutorial (thankyou) .. i'd been mastering with logic for a couple of years, but was interested to see if garage had the limitations or not to allow mastering to. As i'd recently setup a new machine which comes ith it, i didn't want to go through a long setup process just for mastering only.

  • @JoeRushing-nx1lw
    @JoeRushing-nx1lw 2 месяца назад

    Could you use the RMS meter during other phases of the mixing process? For example, after tweaking EQ, use the RMS meter to determine dB lost or gained? Or even for precise compression makeup gain?

    Colin, so I’ve mastered my first few tracks and up until now, no problem. I export to my desktop and it sounds fine but missing the first bar of the intro. Tried it a few times with same result. What am I doing wrong? “The Band Guide’ has been a saviour by the way.

    hello, can you please tell me - do you need to export a song for mastering without increased gain (for listening in a car)? and is it necessary to follow the mvmeter (-3 dB) before starting mastering?

  • @entropone
    @entropone Год назад +11

    Why do you make a new session for mastering, instead of just using the Master controls in the session? Does it give you more options? Or does it just help you focus on one task at a time (so you're not tempted to go back in and do track-level mixing)? Or something else? Thanks.

    • @Okaythen193
      @Okaythen193 6 месяцев назад +3

      I’m no expert but it basically helps you focus on the mix as a whole instead of each individual sound in the mix. Since the point is to make the entire song sound good as a whole and sound as one, merging all the tracks into one track in a new session and mastering it helps you focus on what the actual song is going to sound like all together. I see what you mean by doing it all in the original session which is the same question I had, but I noticed putting it all together as one track does indeed help you focus on the actual track as a whole.
      This is good because the merged, mastered track is the most important since this is what will usually be showcased when you release the song. So basically you are right about it helping you focus on one task, or more of it just helps you focus on the track as one instead of each individual piece which is what you focus on when you mix before getting to the mastering stage. It’s good to keep both the mixing session with each track as well as the mastering session so that you can always go back and alter the mix if you need to because you can always transfer it into the mastering session to help finish it off as the final mix, hope this helps!

    Hi. I downloaded the mvMeter as suggested but only get in Factory Presets one option: Pres 0 Init, so cannot get RMS. Also there is no content to load (i.e. presents) and neither is there the three lines option next to the selection in the centre. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance
