I swear this plugin is dangerous as fuck, it should come with no Distortion or a Gain Reduction at least, this shit clipped everything and sounded like straight white noise when I added it on accident - I was shook for the rest of the session
20min to say Its nothing basically. Loudness and some eq to taste. Mastering isnt really a thing since physical supports died and powerful softwares took over.
I literally just figured out what saturating Actually does after videos of people talking about using saturation, and then I come across your video and you explain it completely and so easily. Why is this information so hard to come across? Thanks for sharing this! I definitely thought mastering was some kind of secret trick when I started.
@ 12:00-12:30 was the most helpful to me, like a switch flipped it all comes together now. Everything I needed to know and was missing explained in 30 sec. thanks man, you probably just made me a future celebrity!
not necessarily, most knobs are tuned to 2 decimal places. things like reverb and delay tweaks can make colossal changes, especially delay which is .1 by default.
I studied this mastering here, and I get it as an early benchmark, because I've been stressful how to mastering me with a beginner's condition. thank you for sharing. I really appreciate this.
For sometime now, i was frustrated how my tracks sounds. What missing, i know mastering is the answer, but don't know how to use it up until now. Thnx man u taught me the basics. Now just a little tweaks and im good. Thnx again, more power Godblz.
Quick Tip: If you are adding heaps to the master, you probably have not mixed your track very well. Go back, and make tweaks there. You can ADD things, but once bounced out, you cannot REMOVE them. lovin your stuff ash
I've used plugins in the mixer before but am just learning how to master a track because I like that "full" sound. To add a high pass in Fruity Parametric EQ 2 like in the video, it looks like you can right click on the number 1 in the purple circle and select High Pass under the Type category in the menu that pops up.
Thank you so much bro! I live in Korea so i don't understand English well.But I could understand your language well because you were so calm.Thanks to you, I learned the mastering.thank you so much!!
thanks asher . .now i can finally understand what mastering is. .most of the tutorials i've watched before they're making it very complicated to understand. .till now i finally understand the meaning of mastering. .
Mastering is called that for a reason. Slapping a compressor on something is fine for most. Hell, youtube works, right? If you want to hear a masterer vs a complex AI trying to do the same, look into LANDR vs even a low rated masterer.
It's not hard but you have to know what you're doing, you can easily ruin your song with bad mastering, it's recommended to send it to a mastering engineer, it's not as expensive as you'd believe, or learn mastering properly yourself, and take breaks and use reference tracks to refresh your ears. I'm a student mastering engineer, mastering isn't this crazy dark art, it's simple yet complicated at the same time and usually less is more. There's a lot of false mastering info on TH-cam, be careful not to fall into it, such as mastering to only 14 LUFS argument. Be really careful when eq'ing when mastering, you want to enhance what's already there and bring out the best of the track and maybe do a tiny amount of corrective eq if need be, but if you're trying to correct too many things it means the mix more than likely needs work. Get an idea in your head of how you want your track to sound, don't just boost and cut things because you feel like you should, and if something is already good, don't be afraid to leave it alone, you're doing what's best for the track, just because you're mastering it doesen't mean you need to touch every single frequency band or use heavy limiting.
"such as mastering to only 14 LUFS argument" - Can you elaborate on this part because I've seen it recommended to set to around these levels due to the streaming platforms and if you have something interesting or informative explaining further it could help?
Thank you! I was nervous about what mastering actually was going to be & now I think I can handle it. Gonna get through these basics and see where it takes me. 🙏🏻
It's really helpful. Thanks for doing such easy to understand tutorials . Can u please make some tutorial on mixing vocals and specially how to add the right amount of reverb .........☺
"Right amount" is subjective. Listen to songs you like in the genre you're going to make. Make your reverb amounts sound like theirs. None of the people who do mastering for a living had a mastering textbook with a "right amount" section, they just do it by ear.
"I'm going to explain" > explains nothing. What do knobs do? What do curves do that you adjusted? What anything does to a signal? You adjusted volume curve at places where volume peak even didn't reach. Why? Still, at least the process and steps are seen. Thanks.
To be fair, all those things are specific to your track. If you k ow the process, its basically a matter of preference. Just experiment and see what works with your track.
I think most of the viewers are not that of beginners that they don't know what any of the knobs do. Check out some other tutorials like from this channel called 'in the mix'. But I reccomend playing around with the knobs yourself and find out what they do
Rip I used to use Logic Pro x on my old Mac I spent a stupid amount of money on but it was stolen when I was robbed while at work. I miss my old music stuff so much but ig some people are unlucky and gotta start from the bottom again. Just had to vent tbh
bro I want to immensely thank you.... I have been recording for 4 or 5 years now and this was my final step... I have scoured the internet for thousands of hours in search of the info you provided in these 18 min. and 39 seconds.... I am at a loss of words and I couldn't even sleep right for a couple nights because of how incredible my music sounds now. When I make it to the top bro i'm flying out to see you because you have changed my life and I can't thank you enough Asher. Thank you.
cool simple video, super grateful, every video ive seen is just super obnoxious, using words you have to google every sentence. great video to get started and follow along with for beginners
For extreme Noob: Go to the mixer bus where the audio is sent. Then right click and select "File" option,choose "browse state option". Then see towards the left part of the screen You will see different mastering options which immediately masters the song by just selecting them.
I really appreciate this video. Gave me a whole lot. I have a question though: i follow your steps and enhance the sound tremedously on my tracks, but the "sound wave" or whatever its called where u can see the twists and turns of the track (for example on Soundcloud) looks pretty much like a solid block of bass. It is a bassy techno track but still, there are parts with just a highpitch synth too. Other technotracks seem to get way more detailed sound waves (or what u call em.. ) thanks for feedback on this and thanks again for your help!
it's the dynamic range. because you made your track esentally louder and put a limiter on it, you lost some of the range between how low or loud your track can get :D
I don't get why edm must be louder as possible. Your music already sound good and balanced. It doesn't sound too quiet. If someone want to hear it louder they should just turn the volume up. Some producer kill the dynamic in the mastering process and the things loose definition.
Hey Asher, just wanted to say that as an amateur music producer I've watched this video maybe a dozen times now. Really appreciate it and it's just really nice to walk through with it while I do my own mastering. Hope you're doing well in Nashville after everything thats been happening from tornadoes to pandemics to protests. Stay safe out there.
KODIAXE I literally thought the same thing when I first watched this but maybe he means while recording and mixing not to have a limiter on the Master and wait till you’re at the end of the Mix basically like how he was at the start of the video
When I use my limiter on the Master Track, I have the Gain & Ceiling cranked all the way up while having the Master slider on the mixer turned down to 50% (12.7).
This was a very informative tutorial! I've actually never mastered a song before because I didn't know anything about it, but I will absolutely follow your tutorial and use your tips when I DO try it for myself. I'm still trying to make my songs sound more open and clear, if that makes sense. I definitely noticed a difference when you mastered your song :) so thank you for this tutorial!
i'm subscribing. you're a good teacher dude. very useful stuff in the video. i never understood exactly what mastering was even after using fl to make music for the past decade. this video really helped
You said when mastering make sure there are no plugins on the master bus, why can't you use EQ 2 and Maximus as shown on the master bus? Is there a reason to export as WAV first?
Cal Malouin cause they might mess up with the other plugins that you already had in your mix. Exporting it to a wav file, makes those plugins you had in your mix to become one with the whole song, there are also other reasons but that’s one of them lol
Doing mastering on your Master while got the hole other stuff open will kill your pc and may cause lag which will destroy your sound (depends on cpu and soundboard). When you export wave and master it in a new project you wont have to deal with these issues, eventhough u got a bad pc or laptop
Great video. Just made my first track this weekend in 20 years. I have no idea how to master and used soundgoodizer but it completely distorted part of my song that I need clarity in. Gonna look further into it
YoungBlaze for FL Studio, the master preset automatically comes with Fruity Limiter that limits the instrumental you use go above 0 dbz. When I took it off, the instrumental sounded highly distorted. It’s better to leave it on, but not to make any tweaks to it.
You're a very skilled producer, that track sounds killer, but the advice on actual mastering here wasn't great at all. You can't complain about compressing the low end too much because it gets rid of some of the punch, and then use an attack of 2ms, you should go to 10ms and beyond to preserve all of your attack transients
Can i use a refrence track to get the loudness? Like with the plugin first i can test the loudness of already perfect song and then i can employ the same volume value to my mix. Is it okay?
+Peter Van Goublin use the YouLean loudness meter I showed in the vid and see how many LUFS the reference song is. Then you can try to match your song to that. And yes that’s always a good idea!
Don't know if I'd call this real mastering, but for the bedroom wanna be that doesn't have the funds (not talking about you) it's a good starting point. Only thing is at the end when comparing before and after you should level match the two as you will be naturally drawn to the louder one but that doesn't mean it sounds better.
UgpFpv very true, things sound better loud, it's why the loudness war exists. I find more luck mastering my stuff lower and not trying to crank everything to as loud as it can be without distorting it. When I do that I throw off the dynamics of the song I made. If rather have people turn it up than miss what I've spent time making.
Haha, for sure. But I think all the people looking up how to master on TH-cam are going to be bedroom wanna be's. We know we can't beat the labels after an afternoon of TH-cam & messing around in FL. But it's insane how close we can get.
Thankyou asher for this videos i was very obsessed with the tracks i am producing and releasing but now i am really clear about the mastering process and once again Thanks.

I finally made an ADVANCED mastering tutorial! Watch here: th-cam.com/video/Wz_cnNGSuTg/w-d-xo.htmlsi=MsriC0QZRLwTq6-f
I accidently added the hardcore plugin instead of maximus....
I am still in hospital.....
I swear this plugin is dangerous as fuck, it should come with no Distortion or a Gain Reduction at least, this shit clipped everything and sounded like straight white noise when I added it on accident - I was shook for the rest of the session
Truth
😂😂😂
Get well soon bro XDXD
Legend says he's still in hospital...
remember when you exported your first track directly without doing mastering & mixing, yes you, the one who's reading,
:)))
damn this hit too hard fr
i still do :)
:(
Pew pew got me
Kids use Equalizers
Men use Sausage Fattener
Legends use Soundgoodizer
AceMakesContent 😂 Exactly
GENIUSES WILL USE ALL THREE😊
This ⬆️
😂
what does equalizers has to do with comp and boost?
Geniuses uses OTT
Step 1: Add sausage fattner to the master track
Step 2: Turn color all the way up and voila
(Results may vary)
Or
Step 1: Add Soundgoodizer to the master track
Step 2: Go on preset A
Step 3: Set it to max
I prefer adding 6 soundgoodizers and a sausage fattener
Sillylemon Yeah but don't forget to Fruity Reeverb 2 and set wet, size and bass to max
rip those who don't understand enough to recognize the sarcasm
DaemonPhoenix42 thank you for this comment i thought they were being serious

lovin your stuff ash
+AriIsSleeping good tips. And thanks ❤️
❤️
sorry, I'm not native, what do you mean with heaps?
heaps = a lot of. in this context, this would mean "if you are adding a lot of plugins to your master..."
AriIsSleeping okay thanks
Keep coming back to this video whenever I need to master. It's so simple and easy to follow. Thanks a lot, it really helped. 🙏
Loved that stereo enhancement tip.. Really make a big difference..
Finally I can be proud of the way my music sounds. I absolutely loved the tutorial and those vocal chops are awesome.

When he squashes it down with a limiter as example of what not to do but it still sounds better than my one track I mastered for 6 hrs

I find more luck mastering my stuff lower and not trying to crank everything to as loud as it can be without distorting it. When I do that I throw off the dynamics of the song I made. If rather have people turn it up than miss what I've spent time making.
Haha, for sure. But I think all the people looking up how to master on TH-cam are going to be bedroom wanna be's. We know we can't beat the labels after an afternoon of TH-cam & messing around in FL. But it's insane how close we can get.
Thankyou asher for this videos i was very obsessed with the tracks i am producing and releasing but now i am really clear about the mastering process and once again Thanks.
When u know how to master but you watch this anyway

Goddamn I just mastered and it made it sound like a broken subwoofer xD Something is wrong here.
There might be a problem in the mix
