Bro.. I’ve seen a lot of engineers and met the biggest engineers on earth… I even met Luca before. Luca is genuinely the best I ever seen. This guy is legitimately next level 💯
the pro mb step sounded amazing and was a great improvement, but i did not like the space control step at all. it made it incredibly thin and tinny, and it sounded better when you bypassed it 😬
That’s true, I would trust an engineer in the business before a bedroom boy. My mattering sits suck though and I am cutely following a 3 time Grammy winner producer on you tube
whats the reasoning behind using a sidechain to pump up the mid frequencies? is it to make the side chain more tighter/more upfront? cant that be done in the mix instead with certain elements?
it can be done in the mix but doing it on your master not only tightens the sidechain but also glues the elements together in a really nice way. your kick's body will be sitting in that range so your kick will gain more presence but everything else will also be pushed closer to it hence it creates glue. You wouldn't really get this effect doing it on everything individually in the mix, but I'd be a bit more subtle than he is here if I had control over the mix too
Ok, so I have been using your last technique you taught us where you expand the highs and lows and compress the mids. I have been using that technique for awhile now and it is great! But then I see this and you are expanding the midrange now with no explanation on why you have changed your method. It’s super confusing honestly if you can elaborate!!
Every song needs different treatment. All the different techniques you see are right for the song not for every song. The key is the gathering of knowledge and the skill is when to use them and when to not.
there's no one size fits all solution you are approaching music like a robot. feel what the song requires make adjustments that are tailored to that need.
-4.5 rms... what if in the future better sound systems that can translate details become more affordable and all these loudness era mixes made to suit our current technology end up sounding like trash to us in 20 years, because we squashed all our mixes 😂 The same way we look at different eras in the past as having a certain lofi sound, this era is creating its own lofi type of squashed sound
@@codygleason1619 so basically, expansion means he widened the mix with the MB's stereo enhancing function?(basically multiband mid/side volume processing) and then he sidechained expansion to the bass drum. did i get it right?
@@2bepower1 no!!! Expanders are the opposite of compressors, so when the signal reaches the threshold it "expand" the volume. Multiband compressors have nothing to do with stereo image 💌❤
yes, the midrange (and especially the vocals) get brought up in level when the Kick and Bass hit and the added gain is relative to the level in the lowend. With this the vocals stay up front when the kick and bass hit but the overall balance is not permanently changed, like it would happen with a conventional EQ. There is a vid here on YT where he explains it in more detail.
@immtonmischer that would be great if you could tell us the name of that vid! I assumed it was meant to pop up after the attack so it gives it more perceived dynamics
@@Joshh.K " Luca Pretolesi Final Mixing / Mastering Tutorial (J Balvin & Willy William) " watch from 6:40 here he uses the same technique in mixing on a vocal, sidechained to the kick. It's more precise then on the 2-Bus but the same principles apply.
yeah, sadly... that's on the platforms, musicians and producers may have other needs and prefer to stay true to those even if it means getting their mix destroyed by certain streaming platforms
If you're using FL studio there should be a way to change the size of it using the dropdown box in the top left of plugins. I remember doing the same with Serum but I can't remember if it was a setting within serum or FL itself
It’s easy to do but it’s pointless having it that loud, The top 10 tracks in the charts are ranging from -6 to -9 LUFS, which works out at about -9 to -12 RMS.
@@najee2123 when you get the ears and knowledge to see that these reels from this guy are complete content-driven BS to sell you courses later, you'll know your comment makes no sense. Cheers!

@@thesoundmajors9858 is it too bright or not buddy? Is this video informative at all or not? Come on, use your own mind to judge. Don't turn it off just because it's a professional.

bro that Fab MB sidechain just blew my fucking mind I did not know I could do that!!!!!!! holy fuck
This just taught me a lot! It’s not about the tools it’s how you use them!!! 🔥 let’s gooo Luca
Space control looks nice to have after the eq
Luca is a Legend! he know what to do and is not afraid to make big moves. our golden boy share with us his knowledge!
Remember to get to a -4.5 rms u need a really good mix to begin with dont bother trying if ur mix dynamics are all over the place
Where did you that the information?
@@WatchMyShorts303you will realise once you try to master one of your own tracks
@@WatchMyShorts303 its called "headroom"
-4.5 is some crazy good rms readings, think the closest I've ever got from a personal mix is like -7.2. How do you even get a mix that well rounded 😂🙃
@@dudleygray3088 one secret is realising your kick doesn't need to be as loud as you think, nor does your sub bass!
This guys videos really saved me so much time, life saver fr. HE GOT THE SAUCE
he makes this look easy love it
Very very interesting. I neeeed that last of these advanced mastering TEQNIQUES
You are simply great 👍
Thanks you Luca , i waiting all week to reach mondays

Mastering Mastered? Cool man.
I just do one pro l and its done juck loud good
whats the reasoning behind using a sidechain to pump up the mid frequencies? is it to make the side chain more tighter/more upfront? cant that be done in the mix instead with certain elements?
Yeah it can if you’re the one mixing it, if you’re sent a pre master then this is a great method imo
it can be done in the mix but doing it on your master not only tightens the sidechain but also glues the elements together in a really nice way. your kick's body will be sitting in that range so your kick will gain more presence but everything else will also be pushed closer to it hence it creates glue. You wouldn't really get this effect doing it on everything individually in the mix, but I'd be a bit more subtle than he is here if I had control over the mix too
Hopy fxck, my brain just impolded
Groove it’s all about groove baby! Could’ve sidechained that mid range to itself but that’s not the Groove!
🔥🔥🔥
At least this time the beanie is in the wash!
so you’re only widening freq’s above 7k? (as to not widen bassier noises that should remain in mono?)
Top! 🎉
Sound like a setup for thin mastering
Pro!
All about the ears
🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
isso so funciona em uma mix perfeita... e a mix perfeita só vai ficar legal em um arranjo perfeito.
How did you learn these techniques?
I use invisible limiter better pro l2 and this maximizer

Why cant u buy this plugin any more??
wasnt it mastered before? or did he get the raw files?

You’ve gotta peaked on your bx meter
Too bad he doesn't do videos on other forms of music such as alternative rock.
Laughing at all these cute bedroom engineers commenting at a award winning engineer 😂
The unmastered was punchier and thicker out of my iPhone speakers. You can’t win them all.
Too bad Tiesto doesnt play phone concerts otherwise you could leave it unmastered lol..u hear urself

interesting take
I think its kind of inevitable that we will look back on music and art of the present day and see it as dated, no matter what you do.
-4.5 insane 😅
I understand nothing🔥
maybe I just dont like stereo widening but He made this so much worse holy cow
A lot of trolls or guys who really dont know what they're talking about... 🥳🥳🥳
And made his dollars in a couple of minutes 😂👍
Its not about the time spent doing the master but the years of experience and knowledge using your gear that costs :)
can someone explain what he did with the multiband compressor? i didnt really understand it from the video.
Lo usa como un expander. Modo expander
Sidechained the expansion
Expansion. making the mix more bright and giving it more air in the mid to highs
@@codygleason1619 so basically, expansion means he widened the mix with the MB's stereo enhancing function?(basically multiband mid/side volume processing) and then he sidechained expansion to the bass drum. did i get it right?
@@2bepower1 no!!!
Expanders are the opposite of compressors, so when the signal reaches the threshold it "expand" the volume. Multiband compressors have nothing to do with stereo image 💌❤
You should try out sub smoothing with a glue compressor or compressor in general. The sub rumble is a bit too busy
when he does the pro-MB stuff, what is it that he expands in the midrange?
is it triggering and bringing up the midrange when the bass hits?
yes, the midrange (and especially the vocals) get brought up in level when the Kick and Bass hit and the added gain is relative to the level in the lowend.
With this the vocals stay up front when the kick and bass hit but the overall balance is not permanently changed, like it would happen with a conventional EQ.

- 4.5 RMS - rip dynamics and quality on streaming platforms

As long as your true peak doesnt exceed 0db you should be fine
- 4.5🤣🤣🤣
Gotta give distributors and streaming services at least a little headroom
-4.5db LUFS? weuuuuuuh.
Space control is not resizeable. I couldn't access some buttons on the demo version so I didn't buy it. Too big for my 32inch screen
