Hi Thomas! Very nice video it helped me a lot to learn about gain staging in the Mastering Process! However there is one thing that im still confusing about.. You said in 9:30 - 9:35 that analog modeled plugins sound at their best at -18 LUFS... Now the question.. Is -18 LUFS the same as -18 dbfs ? Because whenever I watch a video about VU Meters in combination with Gain Staging people mention always DBFS instead of LUFS ... so that makes me confused .. Can you clear me up please... Big Like given to your Video ... Greetings from Luxembourg to you and Sofia!!

Oh always get excited when you two release a video.

I spent a year trying to understand this by experimenting and listening to professional mixes, but you just clarified it so nicely, so I really got one of those aha experiences! Thanks!

hello ...The swelling is for me , the most difficult thing to hear . Why ? is it because this artifact is more subtle? I don't know, but there is some listening work to adjust. Thank you Sofia.

What tool are you using to generate the line graph of loudness over time? Seems like an extremely helpful utility for study. Thank you!

Is 'swelling' just a type of 'pumping' or 'breathing'?

Possibly the best Gain Staging explanation I've seen in 30+ years of audio engineering!

i recently hear a lady gaga song and jesus christ it has no dinamics at all, the loudness war needs a comeback

A) Thank You....again. B) Curiosity: What would happen if you placed a super clean compressor across the whole mix, and side-chained it to the kick, for like 0.5dB gain reduction, Synchronized to the groove of the song? Could something like that result in a deeper groove that isn't so much heard as felt? I know you wouldn't do that in Mastering per se, but you guys Lazer focus on half dB moves & movements, and I've always been curious.

Wonderful examples thank you very much 🌻

This is the first time I have heard about threshold automation for the compressor, That's an Interesting idea.

Came here for the knowledge, stayed for the Swedish accent. JK. Great explanation and demonstration

Thank you so much! Very well explained.

Good video

I was here before the algorithm 😂

Very helpful and good clear examples. 👍

Thank you

Thank you both so much! Your videos are absolutely excellent! Happy Holidays and hello from Texas USA!

Thanks. Best/Mathias

That makes a lot of sense thank you 👌🏻🦸🏽‍♂️

Fantastic video. Thank you.

it's great thomas. It's a very clear explanation, but difficult to hear and put into practice. Of course i 'll have to make mistakes to hear all these nuances. On the other hand I find the words you give for these auditory sensations very fair and didactic... we feel that you know how to teach. bravo Sofia and Thomas from the north of our planet. my respects to you.

I will point out what I learned and agreed with as a Music Tech major in 2010. A virgin recording, okay use dither, but you already have circuit noise from your preamps. As a mastering engineer you would be working with something that already has had noise introduced to it. Now a raw/virgin Virtual Instrument track. Maybe dither is important. I might use it to print a virgin track but really . You already have noise from synths and preamps in your file, now are you printing pure sine waves from some test test equipment. Oh but wait. There are amps making noise involved. Dither would be appropriate for printing pure virtual sign waves. ... you see where I am going.... dither is just adding noise to 16 previous noise sources.... not necessary

WHILE MASTERING IS COMPULSARY INPUT 7OUTPUT LEVEL MATCH ??????

🙌🏾 Good Demonstration.

Another great video! Thank you :) now I know what to listen for

Very informative again. Thanks so much.

Great explanation on why compressors sound different from one another, even with similar settings. I never understood that.

Great video, as always. Informative and with very good audio examples. I think the advice you give in this channel really top notch. Cheers.

Excellent video

When will your plugin be released?. Best/Mathias

👏👏👏

Thanks. Best/Mathias

Thanks for the great videos! It would be great if you could also provide an example of how and with what kind of tools you would actually compress the material.

Great listening examples! Thank you 🌻

We had to re-upload this video. Thank you to everyone who liked and commented on the first version. 💚

Really appreciate this

Can you do the 2 mono input output tricks on pro tools ?

Hello Sofia and thomas ... Maybe I'm wrong, but you don't talk much about clippers... However, it seems to me that nowadays, rather commercial and very popular productions use clipping excessively... What do you think about that ? Should we push much further, the use of this kind of tool in order to gain in loundness for example ? If you practice this... would you have any advice to give us ? Many thanks for all your work on youtube .

AMAZING!!!!
