  • @raimolaine
    @raimolaine 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +7

    I think your mastering is fuller, sure it's louder too, but that's not the point. It is also clearer and punchier. Thanks again for your helping us all to mix and master better than we do.

    left a like on all videos I used of yours, when u exported u left the mastering at -5.2 volume, is it suppose to be lower like that or do we bring it back up to 0.0????

    Thanks for this video, I have just finished a master of a song I mixed using your technique - I'm super pleased with the result and my master sounds way better than the Logic Mastering Assistant plugin. I have mastered tracks before with varying degrees of success but never been happy with them until now. Your approach is more musical rather than using multi band compressors etc where I found myself going around in circles, looking for numbers, getting frustrated and eventually loosing my ears and mind lol! Great video and I encourage anyone to try this method - it really brings the focus back to the most important thing - using and trusting your ears!

    Hi Colin, wow is this helpful! Especially since i am not too familiar with all the technical ins- and outs of the plug-ins, i now understand more of what they actually do... And it sounds absolutely so much better now! I also tried the mastering tool in the stereo out mix, and, as you mentioned, there is a lot of 'pumping' going on there and worst of all, the silent passages become much louder (probably because the differences between soft and loud will sound better in a car or on a telephone, but i want to keep my choice of the extreme differences that i go for in my mixes... the mastering tool ruins that immediately ;-) So, i will definitely go along the path you have set out in this video! Thanks so much! Stef

  • @terrykennedy-lares8840
    @terrykennedy-lares8840 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    As usual, this is a great video and I've learned more from you. Question: You have been using this same song for a while now, could you do some of these videos with a different genre of song so we can hear how these techniques work on different sounding songs? Don't get me wrong I love your song, but it is a hard rock type song. I do a bunch of songs of different genre's Country, Folk, Blues, etc, and I'm getting decent results from what I've learned from your videos and training, but it would be helpful to hear you apply them to different sounding songs.

    On the compressor, you turned auto gain off but then when you switched to vintage, it turned back on. Assuming you intended to keep off?

  • @tedwilson48

    Hi Colin, wonderful content as usual, just a little confused by the dithering option being selected when you exported the master out. I assumed dithering was only selected when exporting at 16 bit for CD use. Am I missing something? Thanks again for another amazing video 😊

  • @marcofrencho8434
    @marcofrencho8434 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Went through this process. I exported the file, and the LU-S was generally the same with the other references I had, but when I played my song off of the files app on my iPhone, it was louder than the other songs. Do you know If it's an iPhone files app thing, or am I missing something with mastering? Not sure if this is a frequent issue you've heard of.
    Also, awesome series. Spending my staycation learning to mix and master, and your videos is what I've been studying this week. Thanks so much

  • @LSDis4me
    @LSDis4me 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    In that last step of bouncing the track out, how do you keep it so that it's just that track, and not all the other tracks that are within the region length? When I do it I get a bounced track that has all the other tracks I was working on all jumbled into one track. On your project I would think you would also get your static mix track and reference mix tracks included on what you bounced.
    This whole six step series has been excellent. Thank you!

    • @TheBandGuide
      @TheBandGuide  5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      As long as they are all muted, you'll only hear the track you are mastering when you bounce!
      I'm glad it was helpful!

    • @LSDis4me
      @LSDis4me 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@TheBandGuide Just tried it again, same problem. Everything is muted but the one track I'm bouncing (when I play the track in Logic, its just the one track playing). When I bounce it, the MP3 comes out as a cacophony of all the tracks together. The blue M indicator is on for all the other tracks.

    • @LSDis4me
      @LSDis4me 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I went through it again, and was able to get all but one to bounce properly as both wav and mp3 files. The one that didn't work, I converted to an mp3 using Apple's converter. So all good! 8 songs mixed and mastered- so unbelievably better than my original mixes!

    Hey man I’m having trouble trying to control the low end on different systems, my song sounds great but if I boost my low end to get a more punchy and professional sound on headphones, it ruins how it sounds on speakers by overwhelming the bass. Why can’t I get my songs to sound as loud and clear as professional artists without running into distortion?

    why do your reference track waveforms look so full yet the waveforms on the song your mastering not match?

    • @PrincessBigkitty
      @PrincessBigkitty 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Because when you add effects to the song you are mastering, the waveform stays the same. If you were to bounce the final master and put it back in logic, it would look full like the reference tracks.

    I like your mix more compared mastered references. The think is also at my mixing. I bring very nice and rich mid range which is gonna be modified more to hi fi sound by the mastering which I don't like :) So I don't use references so much. Its almost every time that my ears like more those mid range mixes. Just to say..
