Before you ‘Master’ a track (which is what he is doing essentially) have
atleast… 3 Db headroom, during a mixdown. Mastering should only really
(if your mixdown is any good) consist of using a compressor to get back the
reduced volume from the mixdown and cutting off the 30Hz and 18KHz areas…
maybe a few other effects, but keep it simple. =) (This works for Dance
music, but should be the same for Hip Hop ect…)
resend that response please
Actually the reverb on the master track is something common, expecially in
rock music, it can add some glue to the instruments giving a “live” touch
to them. Just try. As for the double compression I don’t know. As regards
the stereo image, in this case maybe he should have used a multiband stereo
image to spread some frequencies, and that waves plugin to chech anti-phase
hits. But I think that it’s all about taste and personal workflow…
Using a multiband compressor in that way can make your mix to sound awful,
the reason of using a multiband compressor it’s to get a tighter sound. I
didn’t saw a compressor on the chain and well, it’s kinda wrong bro, first
you should do substractive EQ, then a compressor to “glue” the mix, then
you can enhance what you want, then a multiband compressor to get a tighter
sound and at the end of the chain, the limiter. If you use a lot the
Imager, you can get in phase problems, cheers.
can you send me flp? : )
Thanks for the help mate!
WTF are you talking about?
“then a compressor to “glue” the mix, then you can enhance what you want,
then a multiband compressor to get a tighter sound” do you compress twice ?
or i misunderstud your post ? i´m learning with every answer
Bro my wave vsts dont work in fl? Can anyone help? ;o
WOW, thanks for this useless tutorial! haha, you clearly have no idea what
u are doing… mixing without exporitng to wav = fail.
Which version of Waves do you have? I am using 2.4
Thanks man. I appreciate your time. Very helpful.
A point on the multi band compressors….if you look at the bottom if each
band you’ll get the current db volume of each band,,,and use this as your
starting threshold for each band. So -12db volume becomes -12bd on your
threshold. It gives a good starting point and helps prevent you from
comprising bands such as the mid bands too much.
Waves is overrated !
thanks man! you explained everything really well!
My track sounds sexy as fuck after this :D
i hate those “ghost frequencies”
hey busy beats my beat stops playin when I click on my waves plug ins y is
that?
What I’m trynna say is I cannot tweak my knobs and play my beat at the same
time. Fl won’t play my beat when I try to adjust anything in waves. I have
to adjust it in waves without the beat playing and then play the beat to
hear the changes…please help thank u
I wonder why you’d compress before EQ?
Hey Busy Works every time I open a waves plugin and try to close it in my
mixer to open up another one , the plugin crashes. Is there a way to fix
this?
hey bro can you make a video waves plugins rap vocals fl studio 11 no but
never mad a video but that
aren’t you supposed to master in wav audio file?????
DOPE
whats more better to mix with, headphone or studio monitor
Hey cool video, but you make a huge mistake with putting the waves s1
imager on your master chain!
When you widen your whole track you will lose your tight bass, you have to
use a imager with different bands like the izotope imager or fl studio’s
own maximus.
The Low bass frequencies should be in Mono because club monitors are
playing back in mono!
So this is not the way u should do it.
I’m not sure whether to put Stereo or Mono for the plugins you used, so I
just used Stereo. Would that still be okay?
