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.

would have been nice to compare the whole chain with only keeping the limiter and/or maximizer with the other plugins off. and even better could be to compare this whole chain and only limiter but of the same resulting loudness level.

Hello Dom. I don't know how to send signal from my mix track to the master bus track because i don't know what kind type track is the master bus. In the video it seems to be a group track but in the mix track i have not seen to route it to the master bus{group track}. I use Asio Presonus Firestudio digital mixer Studiolive 16.4.2. Thanks

So, both 'Mix' and 'Parallel compresión' channels go to Master bus? or only 'Mix' channel goes to Master bus?

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?

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.

I’m curious as you, as from what I know, dithering is necessary when going from 24 48 to a lower bit or sample rate. Otherwise, wouldn’t it add more noise to the sound?

Limiter + GClip + GClip - this is my mastering chain. Isn't it strange that for such a long time Cubase doesn't have its own hard\soft clipper? I think it is.

@DrBuffaloBalls Жыл бұрын

Cubase does have SoftClipper, though admittedly it isn't as versatile as one would hope.
