This has just started to click in my head, controling the low end has always been my struggle and in the last couple weeks it's finally dawned on me how to eq it properly. Learning from you guys has helped me so much, thank you Rob, Caleb, Dane, Mike and everybody! 🙏🙌😊
This video cleared ALL my doubts on the subject, a lot of questions that I've been asking myself frequently and that never found a proper answer with my previous researches on the topic. Amazing vid, thank you
Thank you Rob, reminded me the method I used (Learned it from Ian Shepherd in his tutorials on mastering) actually running the whole song, from start to finish, through a Lufs. this way is exact, before mastering it's crutual! for long time, I've tried to redo it like he said.. thank you.
The quote from Rob: 'This is your primary goal: to enhance and uncover the emotion that's already inside the song; but there's a 2nd aspect to your internal compass, and that's the more technical, audio-production side... which is your own tastes, preferences, and ideas of what sounds good" and what "sounds bad." ME: Oh, thank God! I've been training my ears all my life! 😎
I've tried both the link in the description and pinned comment to get the reference cheatsheets, but neither have been successful. Is there another way to access that resource?
Dit had ik al moeten kunnen om te kunnen laten zien dat ik het aan kon en dit had ik moeten kunnen weten om een heel nummer goed in elkaar moeten kunnen zetten om daardoor in elkaar te kunnen zitten om daardoor goeie muziek te kunnen hebben om in het echt te kunnen tonen aan de mensen buiten in de wereld waardoor ik daardoor eerlijke muziek wat kunnen hebben om te kunnen laten zien
loopback that I get into my DAW are very, very quiet - unbelievably so. my unmastered mix is so much louder, while i'd expect the opposite. how do I ensure my reference track is, well, a valid reference?
Can I ask why you recommend only using reference tracks from the last 10 years? I'm currently mixing/mastering my own bands album, we're a rock/grunge band and the music that resonates with me is really from the early to late 90's. Albums like 'Throwing copper' by Live, 'Superunknown' by Soundgarden have been my reference tracks so far. Honestly most recent rock tracks from the last 10 years really don't sound good imo. Many sound over compressed and just don't sound like a live band to me. Maybe it's samples used nowadays or simply the tracking to tape as it was back then I don't know. Sorry for the noob question, but if there's any recommendations as to who i should listen/ reference to that'd be great.
Hi. It's because technical standards, like loudness, dynamic range, etc, have changed over the years. The 90's for example, were about who had the loudest record out there... these days what's commonly referred to as "loudness wars" seem to be something producers want to get away from. You would like your album to sound "current" but as per these technical aspects, not so much about vibe.
Ik ben er uitgekomen omdat ik dit nu snap helemaal verkomen en daardoor door de mensen ook buiten ben uitgelachen en hun niet begrijpen wat dat is als je het wel begrijpt
3:00 totally disagree about references needing to be within 10 years. Tell that to a rock artist who wants you to use the Metallica Black Album as a reference. "well uh sorry that's 30 years old so it won't sound as good as something newer" 😂
Sir, your tutorials are great but your voice is really a big distraction. It goes up and down in volume and is quite difficult to understand. Would like to suggest using Dylan Pines (not too sure I got the name right) to do the voice over. THANK YOU for your detailed & inspiring tutorials!

i know this page for maybe a month and all this knowledge is amazing really appreciate what you are doing🔥🔥🔥
Major props for finding an actual block of marble for the analogy 😂
Yep that wasn't easy haha
Props for getting the prop!
@@OskarCzechowicz-OmniMusician Yeah, marble is 169 pounds per cubic foot.He would be to lift it if was real.
very good overview mastering vs. mixing and beginner vs. export, and also with specific details - great, thank you
Thanks for the analogy! Solid video. Just subscribed!

Thanks for the clear, concise and informative training - really helpful!

Focusrite interfaces above 2i2 have a loopback function built in
Different place, different time, different instruments, different tuning, different mics, different hands, etc.

for instance, your video is much louder than my reference track th-cam.com/video/QN1odfjtMoo/w-d-xo.html

Just like Tom Cruise is Tom Cruise's stuntman, I use mine reference track for reference 😊
