What a fantastic and inspiring individual. So humble and forthwith answers to difficult questions. I just wish to say that hearing from people like this corroborate the unspoken notion that at the end of days music is still about the emotion one garners from it, no matter how you get there with the final production. I once took a brief course where one of the first things we were told to do is find a selection of tracks that we enjoyed BUT were not perhaps the best mixed/mastered. THAT was eye-opening. Thank you for this, Mandy, Dennis, Loop and Ableton! Thanks not just from me, yet from me and the struggling community. Dennis you are a fantastic interviewer and one of the main reasons I can sit through such a talk and not feel each min pass by. Great questioning.
Mandy captures my own mixing problems perfectly in the Q&A - I want the bass to sound as intense as it sounded at The End or deep in the Arches at Lost ("So loud!")! Great interview with a brilliant woman.
What a great talk!! Such an honest and informative session by someone who really cares about what she does and also how people and music are affected by the industry...I learned so much in this hour and could have listened a lot more!!!
MQA = "a solution looking for a problem" (a quote from fabien from TDR, taken from a gearslutz thread well worth reading if you want an objective alternative opinion on MQA)
If something become official and legal !!! MQA? theres 4k streaming!!! maybe think in something thats lossless (something dignifying to register audio) 33:44 very good information. thank you.
"objective set of ears" is too strong a word, I think. The most "objective" in the real world are artificial intelligence systems that make mastering, but you can try something like landr yourself and you will hardly decide that it makes better decisions than a top-level mastering engineer does. Any mastering engineer will always be subjective in his decisions, this is human nature. It would be more correct to say "fresh ears" and a lot of experience and critical listening.

This talk is amazing! Thank you Mandy!
Mandy & Howie are my all-time favs! The projects she handled during her time at The Exchange were just unreal…
What in the hell are the thumbs down for?
Come forward and reveal yourselves, that way I can go to your TH-cam channels and be enlightened.
Completely riveting ! Just amazing!
Love this. Great Loop, Dennis, start to finish!
Awesome stuff! So true about how powerful small changes at multiple stages can be.
WAV is the best format, high quality - can be played anywhere.
A true master. Thanks for sharing such great knowledge
This is so interesting. Mandy is Queen
Awesome, thank you for sharing your amazing knowledge and experience.

a nice FREE alternative to the nugen master check is the youlean loudness meter 2.
That was awesome what an incredible gal.
Fascinating and lots of information for me and my music channel. I am currently interested in mastering for youtube. Where can I find more info?
Any chance of the Ben Frost stuff!?!??!!?
Great Interview! 🤗😁👊
Her chuckle when he mentioned 'automated mastering' lol
Thank you, very informative!
I want to know what gear she was using in that lunchbox.
If something become official and legal !!! MQA? theres 4k streaming!!! maybe think in something thats lossless (something dignifying to register audio) 33:44
very good information. thank you.
She knows her shit! I too used to go to Lost! And Neil at the Exchange used to cut my vinyl :)
you know
ynew
"discuss" the sound - one of Mandy's keys - and this is true
singers are so often more demanding - Mandy must be really wonderful to work with.
Amazing!
ye knoo
OG knowledge
"you know?" Count = 8 kazillions times
if you don´t know now you know

Suggestion to Ms Mandy to master her speech - less "you know".
shutup
Lol , I was thinking the same , it's hard to concentrate without thinking about how many times she say "you know"
