- During the last few months, I have spent a lot of time recording and mixing some of my own music. When I came to the end of the mixing stage and faced the obvious question - what should I do about this whole "mastering" thing?
After watching a ton of mastering tutorials on TH-cam before I had an idea - why not reach out to my friend John McLaggan, mastering engineer at Parachute Mastering here in Saint John, NB? Perhaps I could pick his brain to understand a little more about the role mastering plays in a song's production and also get some beginner-level tips on mastering my own music. And while I'm at it - why not film him sharing his mastering knowledge so other people can learn something too?
And that is the lead up to my sharing this project. "Listening To The Master" is a short film that I shot, edited, and animated (or attempted to animate) about the mastering process, according to mastering engineer, John McLaggan. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to John share his thoughts on mastering, analog vs. digital workflow, working with clients, AI mastering, and music in general. I am sure you will too.
If you haven't already heard of Parachute Mastering, head over to www.parachutemastering.com now to learn more and have your next song or album mastered by one of the best on the East Coast. You will be glad you did. John is a first-rate mastering engineer and all-around fantastic human being. Hear some of his work and give him a follow at @parachutemastering
I am fully in belief that an actual Mastering Engineer is the way to go. Especially if you have an album or an EP to release. The cohesion with all the songs is critical in my opinion. Hats off to Mastering Engineers.
Such a MASSIVE fan of John! He makes my mixes sound far better than when he got them! Love the collaboration! Pro all the way...
This is so beautifully shot! The room, the gear, the audio, video editing just works in tandem throughout the video. I could watch this all day.
@MarkDanov Thanks so much! Glad you like it.
Your channel is bound to grow with this level of production quality. Brilliant work
Great video, it was a fascinating interview and the production is on point.
A quick rundown of the gear at the end would be perfect. We all want to drool 🤤
Truly a well done, beautifully shot & edited interview. Loved watching this.
beautiful! john is the BEST.
Wow, Clean and Clear : to the POINT ! thank you verymuch
Really Enjoyed this video! Quality is great, love the format!
The mastering engineer should never be questioned.
Respectfully you should question everything lol, the mastering engineer may make it sound great according to him but youre paying him to make it sound the way you want. A good one should be able to adjust what you want or explain the choices they made but youre paying for a service for your art
Cool video!
great video! more!! :)
thanks for the fun and informative interview. I would love to see a gear run down of the tools in the desk and speakers hes using
We shot that too but it didn't make it into this video... might be coming out in an upcoming video!
@@jordanmattievisuals we just emailed John about exactly this!
a true master!
Awesome!!
Great vid!
Love the video! What's the song starting minute 8?
The song is called "Take Me Home" by a due called "Channel 13". I licensed it through Artlist.
@@jordanmattievisuals Thanks for your reply. Great content man!
Most people these days are using loops and chord packs to make their songs because they can't play or write music. They don't really care about the music so they don't have an issue using AI or some algorithm. The real ones would not use AI.
trust me guys
if they got 100ks worth of gear they arent using dogshit plugins
nice room btw most mastering studios look like hospitals
What about good plugins, or are they all dogshit?
