This is just the video I was expecting from you. Really, really helpful.

I've been adding EQ+Comp+Limit on master in all my maschine beats since i watched this, really helps energize everything, thanks again 🤘

hey Rob, just want to thank you for an informative and very clear guide on how to master! As a beginner having sifted through several tutorial videos that were predominantly focused on more technical jargon, it was refreshing and encouraging to have the process broken down into simple basics which made it all the less daunting! keep doing what you're doing!

wonderful. chat about the approach was incredibly useful and thought provoking. May have said this before but I've learnt more about getting the right sound in the 2 hours of your videos I've watched than my whole degree in Music Tech in 2008

I come back to this video every week when mastering my songs lol

Excellent upload, thank you 👍

Brilliant. I am learning how to mix and master. This was very helpful.

I love you Rob! A thousand thanks!

your video is so educational! plz keep doing it!! i learn a lot from these videos, and you are right about the perfectionism, i find myself stuck in that loop as well 😂

Just great, thanks a lot!

Very helpful 👍🏽 Thanks

This is Marvelous..

Thank you for that peptalk in the last part :)

You. Are. The. BEST!!! THANK YOU!!!!!

Thank you ✨

Thanks for the channel, it is simply one of the best. Usually I compose instrumental songs. I work with film tracks and use virtual instruments. Which is better for mixing, turning midis into wav and then mixing or whatever?

Good job

awesome

thanks bro

Thanks for this video. One question. Why Channel EQ instead of Linear EQ for mastering? Isn’t Linear EQ more accurate and higher quality and better suited for mastering?

I'm a new subscriber and just want to thank you for all your very helpful videos. I've been mixing for over 15 years as a broke-ass musician and I've always been 5 steps away from being a decent engineer. Having been going through your catalogue of videos over the past week I feel like a lot of things just clicked for me. Things that I'd been very close to getting right I am now getting spot on because of this channel. Regarding a comment made in this video; you say that when you complete a mix you should wait a fair few days before coming back to master it - something that I have always done. However, do you find that when you do this you have an edge to go back to the mix and continue making edits? I find that, no matter how happy I am with a mix one day, a week later I will want to add/remove things. It really prevents me from getting to the mastering stage. It's not that I'm looking for perfection because I know that's not something that I'll achieve in my spare bedroom. I'm just curious if you have any words of wisdom to help me with this? Thanks again! - Lowrie

Might be a dumb question but, when you export a mix in Logic, prior to mastering, what type of file should you export it as?

Can you explain mastering for streaming? Like the -14 LUFS rule. That would be very helpful because my tracks are still not loud enough on Spotify. Thank you for this video btw

Thank u

🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾😎👽

Interesting. So when you master you bounce the mix down first.

Why do you export your mix before mastering? In GB I can add a master track and do all the mastering right there and export when its done. I assume the thinking is once its mixed its mixed and you should'nt change anything

We really love you

When do you choose 24 as opposed to 16 bit?

when this song was mixed down was there a limiter on the master track..

Push all the highs past peak, take away all the lows and mids. Add a hint of chorus and heavy Distortion lol

And how to record vocals professionaly and what kind of procedure we should use to make our vocals more proffesional sound no matter which mic we use cheap or costly but we need quality..so whats the procedure

Why bounce to 16bit instead of 24bit?

Like to mastering music tutorial.

What should be the level of backing vocals and lead vocals and also instrumental give knowlege about volume levels of these three things so that no matter where we play music it should be always perfect ..sounding

yo this song is dope tho haha

I know in mix 1- Eq first and 2- Comp in Mastering Comp first or Eq

Plz make video cuz am not having any knowledge in making music but i want to hav knowledge of mixing and mstering vocals to premixed instrumentals which we get from youtube

Literally the best KZfaq channel out there for music production.. would be even better if you used Studio One!

12:12 - "Vintage VCA sounds a bit more modern to me."

Sir plzzzzzzzzz am yourr biggest fan but plz make video on mixing vocals with premixed and mastered instrumentals on youtube..

Does anyone know the names of all the songs he used?

Also how to use usb condenser mic for vocals?

did you ever make a video on mixing ?

Master a hiphop song with the same plugins

hiiiiiii

Am from india

I think you're just missing a parallel compression step...

having a well produced track also lets u use only 3 plugs.

Am I a terrible songwriter if I can absolutely NOT tell the difference between the before and after? LOL

Plz reply

I really like your videos but I think it's disingenuous and misleading to present mastering as a series of technical steps you can achieve when it's as much about having a neutral and experienced set of ears in ideal listening conditions taking a final objective look at your music.

MY HOLLY GOD ....I was doing some work in the kitchen with my Bluetooth headphones on ...this song is sooooooo annoying...not only it's a copy of all that endless commercial stuff you hear everywhere ...but its a really bad song ....I just had an anxiety attack after 10 minutes...my hands were full so I could reach for my phone to turn it off, so I took the abuse for a little longer. The engineer of this song probably was grinding his teeth to get through the sessions.
