    I thought I knew how to master before and just wanted some tips for what to use in Cubase. Now I want to redo everything I've ever mastered. Thanks for your videos Dom - they're really amazing.

    OMG here's another ah-ha! moment courtesy of Dom. Blending a mix with a parallel comp channel + minimal amounts of many plugins to gently address a mix's needs. I love having my mind ripped open. Thanks for all you share, Mr. Sigalas🙏

    Thank you, Dom for this great tutorial. An interesting experiment would be to null test (aka delta test) the properly mastered version vs. the slap-on-a-limiter version. I might just try that on one of my tracks. And thank you, Steinberg, for not just trying to sell us stuff, but for hiring Professor Dom to teach us how to use the tools we've already got.

    Thanks Dom, really cool video with some great insights, but I am surprised you used dithering as from what I know, it’s only used when converting a song to a lower bit depth or sample rate.
    Now if you’re working 24bit 48khz and export in 24 48, why would you use it? Isn’t that going to add more noise to the song?

    @jeremythornton433 ปีที่แล้ว

    This is great information but I'm lost at figuring out how you actually get all these plugins exactly where you want them. I can see that you are mastering after you've mixed your song but How are you getting a mixed song into your Cubase after you've mixed it? I know, dumb question. I'm trying to do all of my mastering on my stereo out channel. I take it that's not really the best way. Thank you! Love your videos by the way.
