WHAT??!!? I’ve never heard so many silliness at the same time… that guy
has NO clue of what mixing and mastering sessions really are… please go
back to school before doing these videoshits! I can’t really picture what
Bruce Swedien rather than Chris Lord-Alge would think about you while
watching this!
You are so wrong, I do the same stuff when I’m producing , and yet I never
had a negative complaint 😀 always positive 🙂 Sound is always OK 😀
Thanks
1:02 “Do da mastering!” Sounds like some kind of really boring dance…
Future Music! <3 You guys are the best 🙂 Respect.
I’ve done the same thing! of course with care with the compression and
eq-ing in the master chain before I do the final master (after bouncing all
tracks out, so I can free my computer a lot of memories from the
softsynths…etc.) But if you heard many top producers advice… There
isn’t only one way to do the mastering… And my question is: Why are
people are complaining about this way to do the master? It’s logical. Be
calm, your music’s gonna tell if are doing the “right way” or not…
Yes, we must make it loud! Unlike the Genesis albums from the Gabriel era.
We have to flatten all the frequencies out! Can’t have any characteristic
frequency protrusion like Michael Jackson, or drastic frequency prominence
like Portishead’s Dummy album! Also, it has to be dead centre balance!
Don’t know what The Beatles were thinking in many of their songs! Puh! But
Metallica? Oh there’s a good example! In fact, they were used as an example
in the Loudness War video by Grant Leung.
I guess he doesn’t really need to speak a proper english when he knows so
much about production ;)
Mastering is for engineers not for composers… Even DJ KHALED , Dr Dre has
his engineer of Mastering & Mixing , you can watch that on youtube , you
can do a good mastering but not like an engineer , because it’s science ,
just play music like your ear is hearing it …don’t care about theorical
music , because when i give u a melody , you can find a rythm and i can
find another too , music isn’t an exact theorical science
hmm.. ill know that all .. ill know that shit .. hmm just now like 15
years.. but still nice video..
DJ Khaled is not a componer, he is just a dj lol
Componer ? hahaha 🙂 fault of typing maybe , watch?v=t47QQrxvmFs , He’s ..
7:11 the importance of transients
his english is already good, you dont HAVE TO speak with american accent to
make people understand you.
The 200 hz dip trick is not always at 200. Please take your own advice
tommy and listen. I find that trick can work anywhere from 180ish to 400ish
depending on the track. Cool vid though man.
I agree but it helps to learn
Rich artists also have their own cooks, drivers, personal trainers, etc.
These youtube videos are tips for people who are obviously
amateur/beginners in music production. Or even people who are not so
amateurish but want to learn some tricks by other people’s experiences. But
what makes professional mastering better is many times just the equipment
(of course considering the person doing the mastering is not an idiot)
Is it true that you should leave like -4db to -5db room in the master
channel when the track finished so then you have space for mastering?
This is horrible advice. How can you know if you are doing anything
positive on the master if your input level isn’t hitting 0db?! Obviously he
knows what each knob is doing cuz he’s an engineer but I don’t recommend
any beginners use this technique. Mix first, then master later. You may not
need anything besides a small limiter.
Thanks so much with the 200 Hz thing, it really helped me a lot <3
Can anyone clarify what he was talking about at 2:10 ? 200Hz thing. It was
hard to understand.
Exept the fact that there are a lot o things going on, it’s nice and Quick
explanation. 🙂
finally a cool video… keep it up like your gear too Tannoy’s.. ? 🙂 cool
whats your star sign?
Love this part:
“if you make a bad mix or bad song mastering won’t do anything and if you
have a bad song with very good mix and very good mastering you will have a
bad song that sounds good.” HAHA
not a bad approach, but some stages where he explains stuff “technically”
are very incorrect and badly explained…
so in the master, it looks like hes not compressing the bass frequecnies at
all..i’ve heard that you should compress the bass frequencies a bit..any
thoughts? or does it just depend on the song
dudes dead on.with that 200 hertz thing. I use the pultec eq from.nomad
factory. very strong and dipping at 200 makes.the tracks smooth. never
thought this would be noted like this but take the advice
