sup people, im manifesting myself after a day from uploading dis and i love that most of you just keep giving advice on how to mix, i now im not giving a huge piece of advice in the video, there im just breaking down my amateur way of doing it, y’all can take this vid however you want, maybe you find some knowledge throughout the whole vid, but with this i wanna tell you: make whatever, enjoy the process :) ly all for the support and the patience 🤍🤍🤍

Good video man 🔥 you explained yourself very well at the start that this was just amateur way to blast it to -1 LUFS so don’t worry about the comments that obviously didn’t listen to that part. Keep it up 💯

Just use the preset Clear Master RMS in Maximus on Master when u open a project (turn the Saturation Celling in that preset to 0dB because the default is -0.2dB). After that, balance the Gain (Gain Staging) of every elements in your song. Use less sounds and picking which GOOD-SOUNDING Sounds will be the Main Sounds and vice versa. Plus, using Bass sounds or any sounds that contain basic shapes like Sine, Saw, Square, Triangle,...etc, when you heavily processed that sound (Ex: 10-20 plugins for 1 main sine wave + square bass), you're still gonna get a clean sounding Bass, for that you can push the Gain even louder. You will get a better mix with much more clarity, and the dynamics of your song will be preserved even when it almost hit 0 LUFS. The frequency of sounds also contribute to the loudness [Ex: Keys of the song (Low sounds like Subbass in keys D to G sound better and have more energy than the rest), Higher Sound means more loudness but will introduce harshness] Try all of the things above and pls let me know about your opinions on this. I've use the above techniques and it work for me.

Good, but it sounds little squashed (only my opinion, don't matter). When I make hard sounding genres, I just clipping the sounds their maximum (point when it starts squashing), and then making volume balance between loud sounds and quiet. Then I just editing frequencies by EQ, and making lows-EQ automation (this is important thing to control the lows on the parts). The result is -3.5 LUFS in short term, and clean sound. (I avoid any compression on these genres, because it's uncontrollable thing, it needs lots of attention)

It's definitely an interesting way to master. You get slammed by Spotify or other services for having such a loud mix though... Which is a shame, since I love heavy riddim and adore hardstyle (variants). I get the appeal of loudness, but you can also do that while retaining dynamic range. It's a hard balance and I don't think there's a single solution. Push the song as hard as you think it should be, and dial it back ever so slightly. Let the song decide :D

good example of how to not mix and master music

Ngl I feel like a lot of your songs sound too messy (and now I understand why), so i don't think this is a good way to mix, but good video ig

No offense but hitting -1 Lufs just sounds so unpleasant to ears. Do masters really need to be that freaking loud? What happened to dynamics?
