Thank you that's great to hear that you've found them useful and drop me a message if you have any questions.

you're correct, but theres so much more. real(ish) time collaboration, time saved waiting on renders, easy speaker tests outside/away from the studio/computer. Say you have your studio downstairs but some nice speakers like upstairs or in your car. Now you don't need to wait to render plus theres no external factors messing with the audio like file compression or anything. idk makes sense to me. the one oversight I see, and its a big one; is that we cant start playback from the app. thats becoming annoying LOL

Some people like to collaborate in real time for live feedback. Think Audiomovers but without the hefty price tag.

Hi and thanks for watching and commenting. It could well have been, in a Mastering context we really don't want excessive gain reduction so it's not uncommon to only see a small amount here and there. That said though it could well be the saturation that's making most of the audible difference. I may revisit this video as the overall quality of my older video's are not the greatest. Thanks once again for watching.

My pleasure.

My absolute pleasure. Glad you found it useful.

my pleasure.

I wouldn't say always because one thing I've learnt that doing something by default doesn't always work. Bit it's certainly a handy tool use in this instance.

Apologies for the delay in responding. I can't find anything concrete to confirm, however the DDP and CD creation is advertised to Redbook Standard by Presonus so I would have to say yes it does as it's the Redbook standard which stipulates the bit depth and sample rate. Hope this helps.

I totally agree, the plugin certainly deserves more credit and I'm glad you've found the video of use .

Yeah I totally agree, it was an older video of mine and I've certainly learnt not to do this in my other videos. Thanks for the feedback.

My pleasure mate 👍

Hi and thanks for your comment. Unfortunately the Project Page is only available in Studio One Professional and not Artist but here’s a link to a video on how to Master using the Song Page th-cam.com/video/--LVEQ_cDmU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=E_Zxg2brlDE9xeaL

@@ProgressiveSoundAudio Thank you

My pleasure anytime 👍

It’s because a lot of the new features are from version 6 onwards and weren’t available in version 5 👍

Yep I’m aware, it’s more around trying to explain in simple terms what the filter does, and the explanation may not be perfect.

@@ProgressiveSoundAudio fair enough but there are many mis conceptions about how compression actually works even among experienced users.

Yeah totally agree, I do recall something unique about the way this plugin operated but can’t remember exactly the finer details. That being said I’m still learning even at 40 years old and there’s always a better way to present information in a clearer way, so I’ll definitely be taking the feedback on board 👍

What interface are you using?

Sorry what audio interface are you using? Does it have a direct monitoring function?

Ha ha yes it’s sometimes challenging to stay focused on not get too carried away 👍

That's great to hear and just let me know if you have any questions.

Workflow! StudioOne, Reason, and Reaper.

Yeah Studio One and Reaper have become a great combination for me too.

Definitely looking forward to the next one, i'll get the S1 v6.5 video out then i'll get in touch with plans for the next one.

That's a great thought. Having compatibility with all of your hardware is a must for a great workflow.

For me I tend to look for a DAW that is competent for a Mastering workflow, but also one that balances visual inspiration with a great workflow. Studio One has been a go to for me as it's now in a position with the v6.5 updates where it offers the functionality, but doesn't get in the way of what I want to achieve. Reaper probably has more Mastering 'Functions' but Studio One lets me get the job done easier for the way I like to work.

That’s a great idea question and I’m glad you liked the video. In short the numbers mean very little, they are there as a guide to let you know what’s going on. It’s all about the sound and whether you like the sound or not. The LRA being 2.4, okay so it’s got less dynamic range, but if it’s an in your face rock song it will generally have less dynamics as the intent is to be more upfront. So ultimately don’t be too concerned with the numbers, be more concerned with how the song sounds. Hope that helps 👍

No worries at all, in the main options in OBS have you changed the Monitoring Device to match the Cable A from S1?

I did do that, yeah. But I think I got just ReaStream to work by itself hopefully

No worries at all, are you a windows or Mac user?

Windows :-) @@ProgressiveSoundAudio

Perfect, I moved to Prism Live as it’s way better imho for audio streaming m.prismlive.com/en_us/mapp/

I thought you might like it. Do you prefer the longer versions with the news items first or the smaller episodes with a separate news video?

@Progressive-Sound-Audio I have no preference, to be honest, as I have the time to watch the longer videos. But as part of your rebranding, now may be a good time to try snippets like this one from past episodes and see which appeals more to your audience.

Yeah that’s a great idea 👍

@@ProgressiveSoundAudio are you on any other social media channels? A poll could be worth doing. Takes time editing and uploading videos. And time is money. Just my 2 cents.

⁠@@MikeFromDownUnderTotally agree and that is super idea.

That’s great to hear and I totally agree with you. They’re amazing Headphones! 👍

Hello mate, so in short the PS Audio channel will no longer be in action but….. Coffee Beans and Music Scenes will continue and will be hosted on this channel. Me and Tony love doing it too but I’m looking into options around the presentation as not everyone has an hour and a half spare to watch it so I’m looking into different ways to present it. But it will definitely be continuing 👍

@@ProgressiveSoundAudio Awesome to hear!

Absolutely mate and looking forward to it 👍

For that price I’d expect them to be able to drive the kids to school as well 😆

It’s certainly better, check this video I did here: th-cam.com/video/hIoO-E7x10M/w-d-xo.htmlsi=obZ93a40BQ_sSaLj

That’s great to hear Kevin. I’ve been amazed with the quality of the them. Have you seen the new collaboration with Waves? They have a new offering called the USC-NX for even greater accuracy 👍

@MasteringInTheBox Same here. In fact, if you email them, Ollo will send you an Excel spreadsheet for free with your individual measurements against their own specifications (Kemar Diffuse Field, iirc). I then input the deviations into a 31 band (ISO standard, 20hz-20khz, 3.25 Q) graphic eq to 'correct', and... WOW! For analytical listening - the best I've ever used. (I did see the news on their collaboration with Waves - that's what prompted me to 'attempt' to reverse enginner the service they offer)

I totally agree 100%. It’s certainly a company I can get right behind 👍

@MasteringInTheBox Indeed. Definitely a company to watch. I believe they are also working on a new product to rival the Subpac that would be interesting to try, especially if there is 1 month trial available. 😉

That’s my pleasure and thank you for watching 👍

Thank you 👍

That’s great glad it helped 👍

My pleasure and just reach out if you need anything 👍

My pleasure

Yeah I totally get it and there will be more use cases where it works well, film and tv would be a good use case with the EBU and ITU settings. It’s more where it was marketed towards the streaming platform use case that was the issue. It’s not for everyone but there’s still use cases for it 👍 thanks for watching and for your comment it’s much appreciated.

Great question and the only way I know of at present is to google 'name of streaming platform' loudness normalization (for example Spotify Loudness Normalization). They will each then reference which playback formats they use. Many will use AAC but Spotify also references Ogg Vorbis. Sorry to not be of more use here but they are all their own beast and use different methods. But you have given me a great idea to compile something together to make available for you all.

@@ProgressiveSoundAudio Thank you! I'm kind of new to mastering and I've seen a lot of conflicting info on the subject, especially in regard to "target loudness". Your video here gave me a lot of the information I was looking for. Much appreciated!🙂

My pleasure and just drop me a message if you have any questions 👍

Absolutely mate, it’s certainly developing well over time 👍

My pleasure mate 👍

If you’re using a Mic with the Interface in OBS then yes you’ll need to leave it as Windows Audio but have you tried lowering the buffer size?

@@ProgressiveSoundAudio thanks for replying. I finally figured it out. Voice meeter has a interface you can select as and I routed everthing that way. Thanks for your video it helped me out a lot. Thanks for the reply as well.

My pleasure and if you have any other issues then just let me know 👍

That’s a great question, if you can explain exactly what you do, how you stream and how you use OBS then I can give you some pointers. This video was aimed at stream capturing so your use case is more unique 👍

@@ProgressiveSoundAudio OMG thank you for getting back so fast! I am trying to stream my audio from Reaper to Discord using Reastream and OBS. I am using Reastream on my master fader in Reaper to route audio to a VB virtual audio cable in OBS, which also has the same VST (Reastream) on it to accept the signal from Reaper. I then I change the audio monitoring to "Mute and output". And then it feeds back unless the volume is under 50%. Cant seem to find a solution.

There can be a few issues at play here so we may need to rule a few out. Firstly do you have any Monitor speakers set up that may be playing back the audio at the same time as you playing? Also does your Interface have a Monitoring knob/switch?
