CAPI was the winner everytime

The oxford limiter level output for one preset that I like to use but tweak to taste leaves -0.0034 ceiling, is that ok?

That mastered verison is compressed and brickwalled in many spots 🤮 Mixed version is the best here.

From someone who doesnt make music; the difference is huge. I dont know how you do it and what exactly you changed, but it becomes so much more clearer and spacious, incredible!

The singer is my brother

Making your song louder is easy but making your song sound it belongs to a scene and as loud and clear as daylight is difficult. As a musician good isn't good enough for me your song needs to fit the whole picture.

Very good video. Yes it helps. Thank you so much. I love the JLM99 DUAL.

Thanks for the video. I can't seem to find this or get it to work. I thought I downloaded it but it is listed as a bundle and putting with the other components in my plug-in folder does not scan it to be used in Logic. Where do you find the AURoundTrip and afclip plugins these days? UPDATE, July 2024: I found it in Logic Pro 11 called Audio Units>Apple>"RoundTripAAC"!!! Still have not found afclip yet.

This is awesome bro, I was watching a waves mixing video and you commented 4 years ago and it caught my attention I come to check out ur channel n come across this you got a like n a sub within the first 3 mins. The true love for what u were speaking about was felt. Do your thing bro I’m excited to see u succeed

Stop. I cannot "put unlimited instances across my entire mix." My mac shits the bed...very disappointed in my M1 studio thinking it was better than my '09 cheese grater...Barely but too many plugins on buses made both....shit the bed. Im loving my small 500 series collection and getting quicker better mixes IMO.

Should’ve shown your mix..

THIS WAS A VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY GOOD , SOLID, FRUITFUL AND WHOLSOME VIDEO! THANK YOU JOSH!!! GREAT VID BRO!! 🔥🔥👌👌

Love the depth of the TG at low input, Capi distortion on Capi even at medium input is badass. TG doesn't really add much character at medium, but impact the transient and dynamic it seems. High input TG is the king here, he show who the baddest, and the distortion is extremely tasty especially in the bass and that is I think a bit more unusual, the bass is always the more difficult part to get right in distortion. Love to see on a 808 bass or a Master . I think Capi is great for pop rock and vintage rock sound. TG is like more like motown, Nevish depth, and this distortion I can't wrap my head about another unit like this. I think it would be great for Trap/Metal/Raggaeton at high inuput And EDM/Rnb/Soul even Jazz a low input Just my opinion

Chandler and Great River stole the show

Vocal are indistinct. Instruments are muddy

Song sounds muffled, why ?

Simply because The mix is not good

What a good perspective, the emphasis on a mindset shift. Definitely where most get hung up. 👍

thank you🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Huge news, excited to see where this goes in the next few years

Is Dadalife Sausage Fattener a good plugin for mastering?? It sounds great to me (for EDM), but I don't know exactly what it does, or if this is too aggressive. (btw love your videos) Thx :)

Wick one is better to isolate vocals from

Analog does sound better. Of course it does. If you've tried analog gear, you know this first hand. Software emulations are great if you need a relatively cost-effective solution, but analog gear on your mix buses is indispensable and should be your goal, imo.

Thanks

And such a good song! Tnx for the helpful video :)

I'm seeing people setup mix bus with 2tracks, why??? when you are mixing a 2track that's slow to me.

Don't buy the SSL 2 .. mine was bricked within a few months. Terrible buzzing from the first channel, second channel didn't work at all. The buttons are loose and fuzzy and it never felt like a quality product. Very plastic. That wouldn't have bothered me if the thing worked. Also it would constantly disconnect from my Mac. I tossed it in the garbage bought a Clarett and everything was solved. I spent months fooling with it , thinking it was a ground loop problem. Nope .. SSL 2 is just junk with a gimmicky branding. STAY AWAY FROM THIS THING. Mine sounded great for a couple of months. I've seen a lot of other people who've had these problems so I don't think my experience was extra special.

Is that daw Ableton live??

Great vid- if you know, what transformer and opamps this CAPI has? thx

Wow what a great shootout!! Can u plz do one with drums or guitar on the edge of breakup with some reverb? :)

Such a great video! Thanks

Great comparison! I've got a pair of VP26s with the Red Dot Preamps that I love on Kick and Snare. Seems to add even more low end and punch.

Hi Josh. Thanks for sharing this video. I liked how you compare the versions. I also liked the song of the band "Indigo bloom". So if I did my homework correctly, It seems that their official song is not mixed and mastered correctly? It seems that the voice doesn't stand out very much. Am I right? th-cam.com/video/TvbvTymHYXA/w-d-xo.html

Very interesting, I'm new here and already love your channel and the quality of information provided here. You are one of the few mastering engineers on TH-cam to match the mix and master level in your demo, and for me this is super important because streaming platforms like Spotify normalize the music to -14 LUFS. Even if the master is louder than the mix, if you upload the mix and master separately to streaming platforms, most of them will play them with the same LUFS loudness level, so we need to see what the real improvement is at the mastering stage and make sure the master sounds better than the mix. In your case, your master sounds much better than the mix, it's an excellent and perfect job. Have a nice day! 🌞 Kind Regards from Montreal, Canada! 🎼🃏🎵🎶😀👋

Hi Josh, great to know you are using the DS1 MK3 wondering if the plugin version is better than Fabfilter ProL2. Thanks for a great video. Thank you.

it's not about not be able to hear it anyway, it's about playing this track you mastered on big cranked up speakers has a negative effect when not using a high pass or is it just a myth?

Some masters come out louder regardless. It’s due to the composition, song writing , and recording and tracking . That affects the mix , and the master , greatly .

Josh your channel is teaching me a ton! How would you go about picking reference tracks for a song that's being produced in 2023, but is maybe in the style/genre of older music produced in the 60s/70s? Would you use era appropriate music as your reference, or more modern tracks that may have been mastered for the competitive streaming market?

At least in this case your mastered track still has some dynamics and over all clarity left, unlike so many mastered versions i see where its just a Brick wall Limited wall of mush. So with yours both the mix and the mastered version sound good as you did not turn it into a wall of mush, awesome some actually do it right and try to maintain sound quality making the mix sound good not just loud for the sake of loud, nice work.

Hi been making music about a year now. My thing is i only have a smartphone with bandlab. I recently tried using the built in distribution. Everything turned out bad. Essentially i just want to know what ideas you have for someone with no money at all for paying someone to mix. And no other tools such as a desktop to do my own mixing which is what i prefer. Any tips?

Very well explained. As for the sounds, I definitely prefer the mixed one. Very much space between the instruments and more pleasant for the ears. I imagine the mastered one is good when doing playback on all types of medium (ranging from speakers to phone) but the mixed one played on bit speakers is just great, opens up very much more.

The Great River had no punch in this, compared to most of the other pres.

Hey josh, I recently visited your TH-cam channel and noticed is that your content is very good but your video has no view & subscriber. However, upon further inspection, I identified several areas that could use improvement. One crucial aspect is search engine optimization (SEO). particularly the implementation of rank tags and tag volume. It seems like these elements have not been fully addressed on your channel. There may be other issues as well, but these are the ones that stood out to me

I have read all of the documentation & created a workflow to comply with ADM protocols. However, it says (on the apple website) that in order to become certified I must "Contact your Apple Music Label Representative to be put in touch with an Apple Digital Masters specialist." I do NOT have a "Label representative" so how would I go about getting the contact information for an "Apple digital masters specialist"?

Just bought the SSL2+. I don't regret it.

I’ve tried two different distributors & every time I upload a song to Spotify it cuts my entire mix in half. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks!

Great video!

Quite like the song as well

*trash 😂😂😂
