What are your favorite mastering plugins? 🤔 Got some new music? 💿 DistroKid (Save 7%) ► distrokid.com/vip/venustheory

I have to admit that I'm not really a fan of the genre of music that you typically produce (I am more of a hard rock and metal guy), but I'm so happy I found your channel because you're always so articulate with how you explain things and it's really evident how much time you put into each video. Thanks bro! Your expertise is greatly appreciated! 🍻

You are not lying about the melda free bundle. The Mtremolo plugin is probably the most comprehensive volume shaper out there with some very musical randomize features. you have to make sure the phase is set to 0 degrees though otherwise it can be frustrating.

Came for the mastering chain suggestion, stayed for the track! Nice!

I dig it. I've been using either Izotope Ozone or TDR Nova behind TDR limiters. Now that I finallt know the lufs range...I have to do so much adjusting now 😂

2:28 Kirchhoff EQ has a button that activates 117bit processing Dan Worrall did a video that shows that it nulls with Pro-Q3 with 117bit on, but hey it's there if you need it. Personally i do hear a difference when 117bit is activated but it could be placebo i guess

Those look like a win. Mastering is such a mystical dark art and you look to have found easy mode for it! I have the Melda drumkit and love it and this looks like a whole lotta more good tools from them. Thanks

Wow. That was excellent. Straight forward, precise and an awesome result. Gonna need those plugins..thx for this video 🙏🏿💯🔥

Thanks as always for premium quality videos!

There is probably a reason that no one else is using 80 bit floating point values and that reason is that 32 or 64 bit floating point values are more than enough for almost anything audio related.

soundgoodizer, one word, soundgoodizer

80 bit floating point (extended double) is completely unnecessary. Nobody is going to hear the difference vs 64-bit and you're paying a very expensive CPU cost for it.

solid info, gotta check into that psp

Thanks for this video. It helped me realize that I know absolutely zero about mixing and mastering my music LOL

Howdy. I hadn't heard of Signalizer. Nice find! Have a great day.

Your videos are dope af my friend very very good information

I just purchased Boost, what a coincidence ✌

What, no vintage warmer? :D

Cameron my boy stay awesome 👏

Interesting video, and the track even sounds good on a smartphone speaker.

YEEEEEEEEES!

I hate to say it but this track sounds like walmart bangarang lol

Amazing!

I think, that PSP Neon has the same technology as Master Q inside.😊

Good demo in Signalizer for what it looks like when it's ok.. but what does Vectorscope look like when it's out of phase?.. what does the spectral shape look like that I should be trying to avoid?

1:39 Oh shit.. I thought I was going to get rickrolled.. 🤣

I guess the Weiss eq MP is a good alternative to the PSP MasterQ…?

Dude ... love the info and the overall vibe ... but ... the bass (RBass?) is over the top ( : are to shooting for James Earl Jones?

I have a theory i can`t prove. Lets say that only this one has "80 bit floating point" and everyone else 32 (?) . Thing is same as in mastering, more important is knowing what you are doing than having the best equipment. Only a good engineer will make the best out of ... anything so in plugins lets take "everyone else" that are using 32 bit (or whatever they use , i dont know but its not 80bit , for the sake of argument). But in the real world,,, not every Eq using 32bit sounds the same as any other eq using 32 bit. Some have seriously flawed coding and cramp and do other funky stuff too. And i am not talking about Analog Emulating vsts. One example would be the comparisson by Dan Worall where he compares Abletons Eq8 to Pro q3 and finds flaws in the Ableton Eq. What i am trying to say is that i dont believe that easily that using 80bit floating point all of the sudden automatically make this "a league of its own" Eq. I would have to see comparisons to other high end Eq`s with proof. Until then its just a theory. What triggered my thought was that the GUI of MasterQ2 looks a bit 90`s and the Eq Curve line graphics is ..... a bit like Arcade games revisited. The used extra large pixels for the line. This simply does not look like they gave it much love in the Aesthetics department and looks like the cousin of the one that coded the Eq was allowed to do the GUI design but she-he did not yet arrive in 2021. Take what i say with a grain of salt and a bit of humor as it is meant in a funny way but with a little bit of truth inside. peace , and love your channel!

How about a zero step chain master? "A good mix doesn't need mastering " - Bob Katz

Cool! What about the exact frequencies you adjusted with the mastering plugin at first? Thanks a lot

Can you do a mastering tutorial using simple plugins? nothing that is specific for mastering. I wanna know how to do this iin the classical way.(I think is better a produce know how to do mastering with normal plugins, not specific for mastering, because it means that have good skills.)

One thing I don't understand is some professional music on KZfaq are like -8 or -7 even though KZfaq recommends -14 lufs.

Doesn't a tool like Ozone Elements do pretty much the same thing re: mastering?

Sausage Fattener X3 😉

Does the Ursa DSP more or less "replace" something like a sonnox inflator, like are these doing similar jobs?

Dumb question but is mastering done in a seperate session to mixing?

Wait, so on that last freebie plugin, if that image is really wide, thats a bad thing? It means you have stuff that is canceling each other out?

unpopular opinion: in dirty bass music, no one can hear the difference between an 80 bit EQ and your DAW’s stock

I prefer Grand Finale

N9ce

Rubbish, There is no fixed mastering chain. Serve the music. Experience, and a great mix will tell you what is (and *isn't*) needed. I'd also encourage (shock) listening: EQing *without* spectral analyzers.

sOUNDS the same

I"m not sure who your clients are, but there is not a single song on the Billboard hot 100 that is mastered to -14 LUFS, every single one of them is much more like -8 to -6 LUFS.

Check MAAT eq!!
