*Check out my new STUDIO ONE ONLY channel here:* kzfaq.info/love/-bBpOOJt7befFs8KBac1KQ See you there!

Thank you, this is great work. You're a natural teacher.

Thanks for another great video. I'm jumping back on the wagon after ten years because of kids, and they're helping me a lot.

This was a great and informative video Mike. I watch you a lot and learn a great deal of things from you. Please continue to make more videos like this one. Thanks again.

I watch this often and may have commented before...I am not ready for mastering but I really think this info helps me to mix better. Thanks, Mike! 💜

So gratefull for your support, functional informations, clarity. Thank you so much! 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

Thank you Mike For this valuable detailed information about Mastering.

Thank you so much, I finally got to Master my first Track, and it could stand proudly among the major ones!

Excellent tutorial Mike. Just like sitting next to a professional mastering engineer in the studio and learning on the job. You explain the process clearly - thanks for putting this together for those of us on a limited budget!

Hi Sir! Your guidelines are very lucid. I learned many crucial techniques from your rich knowledge. Thank you very much.

Very informative, thanks! I'm new to Studio One and I absolutely love it. You got a new subscriber

Very helpful. Clear and well structured. Thanks.

Hello Mike. This is a fantastic video, as all the others are. Great work on tutoring everyone clearly and simply. Thats key for us to catch on.

Love your tutorials, man. Thanks for all the quality work. I have learned A LOT about my DAW through your videos. Keep up the good work!

Lovely Song....Great tutorial video. Thank you🎶🎶🎶🎧🎹 Happy New Year.

Great video as usual Mike. Now that I know how to mahster in S1, looking forward to a new video on mastering. 😄 Seriously, love your stuff.

Thanks Mike, I have been musing over mastering for some time as an amateur music creator. I was chuffed when I saw you used the Isotope software as I have just managed to get a copy of Isotope 9. This video was so educational and easy to understand in a world where mastering can be like herding cats! Now I just need to settle on a DAW. I have been using Reaper for a couple of years but am now looking to change that due to some recent glitches where the DAW would just shut down.....not great when I realise I have not saved in a while (another good lesson lol). The Presonus Studio One V5 looks perfect to assist me moving forward; and with some great stock plugins too! Thanks again for taking time to make these great educational videos. Awesome! :)

Teacher, I just found you. Thank you very much. God bless you. Amazing teaching skills.

For players sound engineering is brain melting.....thank you so much for this detailed informative lesson on Mastering !!!

Thanks mike, really appreciate your time and expertise ❤️✌️

I love S1's project page - it's great. This was really useful - so thanks!

Love the guitars ☠️🎸

Hey Mike, Great Video it really helped me a lot specially with the saturation part, it took my mix into a different level with just couple of notches with Soft Tube Saturation, Thanks a mil man. There is a plugin to widen the track in Studio one, its called Binaural pan, and for the frequencies, I add a splitter and add Binaural Pan on each split so I can take control of the spread of my mix.

Thank you so much Kinda new in the mastering!! Nice job!! Saludos desde mexico!!

Great information as always Mike ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great video Mike and an awesome song too! Thanks you!!

Awesome video Thank you! (liked & subscribed!)

Hey Mike, about the -1dB rule, I believe compression algorithms (like mp3) can also cause the decoded signal to go above the original signal level.

Beautiful song!

Thanks for this video, new subber! Great content, I love S05!

This video was super helpful. THANK YOU!

very clear explanation, well done Thanks

You do a fantastic job of explaining

really great tutorial I loved it thank for sharing

I learned a lot from this, thanks Mike!

This video does it all! Much thanks.

No such thing as too much good information! I was LOST on the mastering page until I saw this! Thanks - great work! One thing I noticed about the mastering/project page - the RMS level on the project page is about 5db off from what ACX/Audible measures it to be... Just FYI. Maybe someday a Studio One video specific for Audible/ACX?

Great Video! , at 8:28 Mike chose "Pop" but the 3 lines next to the selection section is the option menu, where you can actually put in your reference track and have tonal balance analyse your actual ref, Which is EPIC! Izotope has mixing and mastering suits (Ozone and Neutron) Where everything talks to each other , makes life mixing and mastering a lot easier But as Mike Said YOU DON'T NEED it, Stock plugins in almost all DAWs (except Reason) are Fine!

Thank you, this really made mastering make sense.

great tips, great tutorial , thanx

this was so valuable :D thank you!

Excellent video my frined.

Well done!

This gonna make me millions 🙏🏽 thank you

I wish you'd make a video on mastering in Studio One Artist. A lot of people have that version, but it doesn't have a project window. So while there is possible to master in the Artist version it has to be done outside the project window and there aren't any tutorials out there for mastering that way. BTW, a very nice video on mastering, though it's only for the people who own the Pro version!

Great video. Many thanks for the lesson.

Amazing video i subscribed

Great stuff

hI Mike , what a surprise in the end of the video , You are such a great singer too, throughout the video i could not make out that the singer was you ,

If you want a steeper roll off than the stock plugin can do, you can stack multiple instances of the EQ on the bus to get it as steep as you want.

This is gold! Subscribing now!

Hi Mike - love your way of teaching stuff... I ventured into Mastering inspired by this - however, I got stuck at two points: Ozone Imager 2 - when used is causing abrupt, random stoppages in the rendered final track. Is there a reason? LoudMax is not showing up on my Studio One 4 plugins - how to bring that about...

Great tutorial as always. I noticed there was no reverb in the mastering chain. I always thought you may need that in small amounts to glue everything together. Tnx.

Awesome.down to earth tutorial!

Good classes

Very helpful video, as always. I admire your concise and friendly style, I’ve tried using the project page but, for my purposes, found the Digital Release feature to be a deal killer. The user has no control over the folder(s) into which successive iterations of a mastered track are placed. In my experience the system insisted on creating an ever-expanding series of sub folders, each containing one mastered file. I would prefer to designate the destination folder and overwrite prior attempts. Presonus advised me that it works as designed, and that I should manually relocate mastered files from the newly created sub folders. I find that to be confusing and error prone, so I reverted to mastering in the mixer. That method lacks the metering features of the project page but at least I can control where the output file is located.

Really helpful thank you.

Goat ❤

Great video thanks!

Hi Mike thank you so much for always replying to the queries, need your kind help here please the situation is let say i have put lot of panning effects in my song , now when i listen to the song with headphones or in my home music system its fine i get the full panning effects however when i listen to the same song in mono in my mobile speaker i do not hear the panning effect , is there any way to overcome this

Great tutorial, good. Very detail=oriented I'd like to ask you; how to unbounce a song for additional mising. Thanks

❤️❤️❤️❤️ Super useful

also the song is really beautiful

Studio pro 6 has many upgrades and now have processing in these areas which im sure you know by now. Would you be willing to make a current video with pro 6 version. Thank you for your videos with your wisdom in mastering with Presonus.

Don't forget to enable true peak in Ozone maximiser or ISP (intersample peak) in loud max, to prevent distortion.

My mix sounds great in the Daw (ST1).once I Master as a wav file the quality is not anywhere near as good..can you help me..why is it not the same in the play back. Is it because my audio playback software is different? I am confused.

Thank you so much for your guide about the Mastering. But I'm a bit confused because I saved my project with all the plugins I loaded. After reopening it I found just my File and all the effects or plugins were gone. that means I have to start again from zero. Is it how it works? Thanks.

Please more mastering content, thanks

Mike, notice you have a Mackie universal control & I wondered how well that works for Studio one for you. Thinking that the Mackie wth a exrender that might be more useful than the faderport 16. Can you tell your likes & gripes with it? THANKS, GABE

Hi Mike, Love your instructional videos. As someone who is brand new to making music I find them immensley useful. However, one thing that intrigues me iwhich I think you could possibly explain/demonstrate is clipping. When I am in Studio One and I see a little red square on my master fader with a number in it.. what does this mean? Is it bad? If so, why? What effect does thhis have? How is it manifested? Is it important and how should one avoid it and if it's there - fix it! Your help as always is greatly appreciated.

Hello Mike and thank you for these Studio One videos. I've been DAW shopping for a while and knowledge base/support is very important to me. I'm kicking the tires on the 30 day trial version of S1 and when I master using Ozone I render the song but the rendered wav doesn't have the Ozone processing on it. Am I doing something wrong or is that just a restriction of the 30 day trial version? I'm coming from a decades long AcidPro user and I'm finding S1 to be MUCH more intuitive than other DAWs. Thanks again for your content, excellently done and very very helpful. Hope you are well.

Hi Mike Interesting video, I picked up a few tips which were very different from my process! When discussing compressor’s around 15.44 into the video you discuss adding a compressor for taming the peaks towards the end! My thoughts are that that should be handled in the MIX stage not MASTERING. May this is a safety step! Thoughts ?

Great video! But can't you automate things like gain on mastering?

So if you were releasing an album to both streaming services AND CDs, how would you approach target loudness? Still use ceiling at -1db and -14LUFS for both?

Nice video tuttorial keep it up

Love the video; really improved the song I tried it on. The only problem I had was installing the loudness plugin. Do you have another link or any suggestions as to where it should be placed? I put it in my VSTplugins folder and Studio One has still not recognized it yet.

Do you have a link to a tutorial on using the Kotelnikov compressor by Tokyo Dawn Labs? Thanks so much.

thank you this helped me alot

Nice one. Enjo means"to assist" in Japanese. You have assisted us here mate!

Hi Mike. Great presentation as always, I always learn something from you 👍..... but I don't understand what you mean by minus 25 Hz! Surely sound cannot have a negative frequency? Also, isn't cutting out the low frequencies below human hearing cutting out vibrations that we can still feel with our bodies? (........and don't forget how low a pigeon can hear - and they like dancing o pop music 😁) I am guessing speakers cannot deliver these very low frequencies anyway, so I understand that for mastering recordings you might just as well lose it so it doesn't affect the 'computers ears' as you said in the video.

How do you route your track to hardware outboard gear ..then print track bk into studio one mastering

Can you cover how to master mp3 or audio files that were t recorded in studio one. I’ve recorded many songs and saved them to audio files while on the road and I need to master them when I get home on studio one.

there is stereo imaging in so1 - Binaural Pan, if im not mistaken

Michael, I do appreciate your videos. I have Studio One Artist. My question is you are working in Professional and in Artist I do not see a project option in the upper Right. I am recording a song for my daughters wedding that she requested. I am running out of time so this is why I am sending this urgent message. I have watched at least 5 of your videos and I have subscribed. You said no question is stupid. So what I need to know currently is how do I burn to CD from Artist? I also was perplexed when I did a mixdown and it completed I could not open the file. It says no file existed. Please assist or someone from your team please assist... Thank you!!

thank you

Is this the only way to refference in the project page? Jumping manually around with curser to listen and compare?

i've put this Tape Machine with this IK multimedia, my PC always crush during mastering process. i've found Softube Tape and Slate Digital are lighter CPU than IK. Anyway, thank you very much for your tutorial ❤️

I just bought the newly-released Ozone 10 Advanced, and I'm looking for the Total Balance Control feature talked about here around 5:10, but I don't see it. Izotope's promotional materials say it is in Ozone 10 Advanced. Does anyone know where I can find it? Is it under the name of another module?

Hi Mike , what is the difference between a compressor and a limiter , i am really new if you or anybody can help

All good

Studio One has great Stereo Widening plugin - BINAURAL PAN

Do you sometimes use external devices for mastering? If so, what and in what order? Greetings! ;)

Hey Mike, can you help, i've recorded an hour long piano composition, now that I click "update mastering file" and then "add to project" the file appears on mastering page without audio in track? can you help?

I'm a little late to the party, but excellent video sir.

Mastering=Proeq/fatten things up. Job done.

Very interesting video. Does this suggest you favour mastering in Studio one rather than Cakewalk?

Do you automate the limiter for quieter parts, to match -14LUFS?

thanks for the video … so i record all my tracks, export to wav file THEN master it? is that right? thanks

Can you make a tutorial in automation in Studio one? Because I found automation in cakewalk more easy than studio one, because cakewalk reads automation while it able to write automations. Btw Thank you for your tutorials! I made a song and it is now out on spotify! Can you critic my song? It would really help me improve. Song name: Jowi Artist: Matty Lolli Thanks Mike! More power! ♥️✊

why you put tonal plugins in master section and other effects plugins in inserts . is there any specific reason to put plugins at different places .
