Hi Pete - thanks for your feedback. Now that I can operate Final Touch, I feel like a rocket scientist. Final Touch really does enhance a final mix to a 'radio ready' quality sounding recording. Just in passing (regarding no master volume on Garage Band for iPad), what I found that works rather well is to push FX button, then visual EQ while your song is playing. Then lower the gain on the right of the screen until the yellow pulses in the volume switch at the top of the screen disappears so that only the green pulses remain. Do this for all the yellow peaks throughout the entire song. Then leave FX and return to the actual song. You will see only green pulses in the volume switch at the top of the screen. You can now raise the volume of this switch as high as possible and there won't be any yellow pulses, only the green pulses will appear (at any volume). Once again, thank you for your series of videos, they have been indispensable to my learning how to use Garage Band and Final Touch. Best wishes - Patrick.

An excellent demonstration of limiting versus normalisation. Thanks Pete! I've been trying to use Grand Finale on some of my final mixes. But no matter what I do, I always seem to get a sausage-like waveform when using the presets. Of course, they also often sound good, but they are very compressed and all dynamics are squeezed out. I need to find a way to raise the overall volume without losing the dynamic range completely. Maybe I've just seen how........🤔?
@PeteJohnsMusic 4 жыл бұрын
Yes, using a simple limiting approach like this is often best if you already have a mix that you like. I agree that whole Grand Finale is good, it can be a little aggressive. I often need to turn down the input gain quite a bit to retain any dynamic range.

Hi Pete - it's been a while...hope you're doing well! I have another question regarding mastering. Have you ever mastered a project that only had one instrument? ie, if you were to release a solo piano recording, would you still go through the process of exporting/importing the recording as a WAV and then applying the peak limiter to it? Or could you skip those additional steps and simply add the limiter as a plug-in directly to the piano track? Would you still use your FX "hack" and reduce the "master" volume by 5dB? Or could you simply reduce its level with the volume slider on the left? In my scenario, I am simply using the internal classical grand piano sound in GB and use the online Loudness Penalty Analyzer when I'm done. If I don't go through any of your mastering steps, I find that my track will be raised by 8-12 dB by the various streaming services. If I master it, I get a better result in the penalty analyzer, but I find the piano sounds a bit too "brash". How can I make the piano sound "big", but not be right in your face? I use reverb, but still can't seem to get it to sound right. :( Apologies for another long-winded comment, but would love to hear your take on this. Thank you!
@PeteJohnsMusic 2 жыл бұрын
Hey Paul. Great question! First up, full disclosure, this isn’t something I have a lot of experience with. In short, the limitation you’re going to get with a solo piano is that it will be a little low on overall gain which is why mastering will help to lift the overall average volume level BUT has the downside of reducing some of the dynamic range. What I’ve done in the past is some very light limiting. Really just normalising to ensure the volume is brought up to the 0dB level at its peaks. If you limit or compress too much you’ll lose your dynamic range and it will sounds too boomy and overloaded. It’s a balancing act for sure.
@OfficialPaulStillo 2 жыл бұрын
@@PeteJohnsMusic Thanks for such a quick reply! To clarify.. when you say "just normalising", are you referring to GB's auto-normalise function (ie, you wouldn't use your FX hack in this instance to just let GB render the track louder)?

Hello again! I had watched your other video on mastering. Interesting that in this one, you import your wave file as a different track in your original GB session! As an added bonus, you can probably use the solo/mute button to A/B the original and the mastered versions without having to jump around. I wanted to ask about Apple's auto-normalization. You explained the nuances between simply raising the volume vs Apple's auto-normalization vs raising the volume via the limiter, but do you think that Apple's auto-normalization was intended to essentially help you avoid mastering? Also, when you share your mastered file in GB, does it not get auto-normalized again by Apple to create the new wav file? Cheers.
@PeteJohnsMusic 4 жыл бұрын
Hey Paul. Yep, there are a lot of nuances to consider here related to mastering and normalising. The volume move is to basically reduce the number of peaks and overall level so you can then turn down the volume and add the limiter. It’s a bit of a hack but creates good results. If you want to go deep down the rabbit hole, I talk mixing and mastering and cover a heap of options in my recent series where I recorded and released me new EP - kzfaq.info/sun/PLc8Xg_23Wa559_G8_OC-dgQXqGLG-Kak4

Do you leave it on with the other tracks, to create a dubbing effect? Is that the right word? I’m just lost at where the track becomes a complete song? Do I export the tracks and wave file together(not on solo), as a song? I’ve got a bunch of tacks that I thought were finished(only because none of my tacks were peaking.. I found out about the peak limiter through this video, and dropping to -0.5db like you mentioned.. and when do I turn off the FX +0.5db for the track when exporting as a song?

Hey brother how do you create a master track to control all the tracks together?
@PeteJohnsMusic 2 жыл бұрын
Either export and re-import, or merge all the tracks in to one stereo track. This playlist has some videos that might help - kzfaq.info/sun/PLc8Xg_23Wa57zhEo6aatWubUOzzd8DlvS

Not sure what part you’re referring to sorry? Maybe ask over at the Create Record Release Facebook group at createrecordreleaae.com, or the Discord group here - studiolivetoday.com/discord.

I’m on iPhone XR and when I hit ICloud Drive ‘Downloads’ doesn’t pop up as an option. The only thing that does pop up is ‘GarageBand file transfer’. Am I missing a step before this?
@PeteJohnsMusic 4 жыл бұрын
Cristian Casarrubias hey there. You don’t need to use the Downloads folder - it just happened to be where I was storing this. You can use any folder you like. The “Downloads” folder will be created the first time use the new download manager in Safari to download a file.

Pete Johns I have another question for you. I’m on IPhone XR and am currently in the process of releasing a single through Distrokid. I tried exporting the file for the track on the Distrokid website but it apparently doesn’t allow me to do it straight off my iPhone. Is there any way for me to export the track (GarageBand wav file) to a google chrome book (laptop).
@PeteJohnsMusic 4 жыл бұрын
Yes, DistroKid sadly doesn’t like you uploading using a mobile browser so it is best to send it to Windows or Mac. If you have iTunes installed you can sync your phone and use iTunes File Sharing to transfer files. The quicker (and easier in my opinion) is to use WiFi. I use the AudioShare app to transfer files and it works really well. It costs a couple of dollars but is a seriously useful app and well worth the investment. Here’s a video showing this in action - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/atV5mM10vc6VhIU.html

@@PeteJohnsMusic I did it again after I lengthened the track and this time it didn’t shortened it. I did all your settings but just left the output at 5 umm I feel like it slightly sounds better but I think I hear a little bit of clipping. When you set the output in the limiter and you could see the blue bar moving, does that mean it’s clipping or only when the bar goes more than halfway because mine was definitely half and if it helps I write rap beats.
