    First time got the fl studio demo I looked at it and just thought "so now what? 😕" luckily your beginners tutorial popped up on TH-cam. Had fl studio nearly 2 years now and before that I was using mtv music generator on ps2-3. So I was amazed how good this daw actually is. I still have a lot to learn and your videos have been a massive help to me. Thanks for your knowledge and helpful tips for amatures like myself 👍

    I must say , Thank you for your amazing Tutorials. Some might say they are long or too complex but that's the nieche of a bedroom audio engineer. You make Mastering easy to understand and also on a level where it really is a professional work.
    Without you I wouldn't be able to make countless songs on such a level as now.

    Might be I said this before : your channel is one of the best ones at music production topics. You're straight to the point and detailed same time. Easy to understand for both new and advanced people. AND : no or very few ( if at all? ) sponsored contents. Which is important to the people when it comes to decisions if they should buy A or B. They want an honest opinion and not "Everything is good" which you see on quite some channels out there.
    thx for the good work you put into it !

    Q: Why does adding a high-pass filter at 18dB to get rid of the low rumble (~4:30) eat up almost 2dB of headroom?
    Given there is typically lots of energy in the lower frequencies, I thought adding the high-pass filter would actually give you a bit more head room, not eating so much. What gives?

    Dear Michael, thank you for your amazing videos! Sorry to bother you with novice questions. I have started to write songs and try to mix them. And when it came to mastering I feel rather confused and seems to do everything automatically. Your videos are really helpful. (Going back to novice questions) Could you tell me if it is necessary (or just handy) to master the mix using separate project? I work in Studio One and when the song is mixed from my point of view I just add plugins to master bus of the same project. Is it OK to do so?

  • @PinkyMB
    @PinkyMB 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Why at 4:11 do you lose headroom when you cut below 20hz? I was thinking that would have given you more headroom. Is there a compressor already on further down the chain? Great video and channel btw, just genuinely confused by this!

  • @ManOfDoodle
    @ManOfDoodle 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Natural Phase is just for linearisation of filters in the highs. Doesn‘t do anything in the lows. If you want no Pre-Ringing but Post-Ringing this or normal mode is the right one. If you want no change in phase linear phase is the right one... then choose a higher linear phase mode for less pre-ringing... Always know your gear! ;)

    Thank you so much for all you videos. I really feel inspired to start making music. BUT am lost in where I should start. I got the DAW, FL off course, - I learn best from learning by doing and have some small success along the way. I did a few tutorials from you and others, but I feel it is hard to start on my own and also figure out what direction to start. I hope you have time so point a complete noob in a direction, which is easy to start in and getting some small successes. I love old school EDM and I was considering to start to sample some old songs and then add more to them as I move along. What would your expert opinion be to that?

I mainly do hiphop and rnb, along with pop. I post a lot of these on my channel, but they don't have that clarity that pro tracks have, especially the drums and synths. Would you have any suggestions or previous videos I could watch?

    Unpopular opinion: ProQ3 dynamic band gain reduction/addition should not depend on the threshold. It should have its own separate controls, with attack and release. That way you can actually reduce the amount of dbs you really want and not what's linked to the threshold.
