I became a musician almost overnight with your help. I'm learning so much with your help. This channel is godsent.

Bruh those lamps take the room's vibe to a whole new level and i LOVE it!!

I must say , Thank you for your amazing Tutorials. Some might say they are long or too complex but that's the nieche of a bedroom audio engineer. You make Mastering easy to understand and also on a level where it really is a professional work. Without you I wouldn't be able to make countless songs on such a level as now. Thank you from WhoDemBoyZ Slovakia.

Thank you so much. I’m truly amazed how well you unmasked the recording. I would’ve been too uncomfortable to master such a hot mix. I would probably asked for mix corrections before attempting to master it, But you truly did A great job with just a few simple tools. Kudos

First time got the fl studio demo I looked at it and just thought "so now what? 😕" luckily your beginners tutorial popped up on KZfaq. Had fl studio nearly 2 years now and before that I was using mtv music generator on ps2-3. So I was amazed how good this daw actually is. I still have a lot to learn and your videos have been a massive help to me. Thanks for your knowledge and helpful tips for amatures like myself 👍

Might be I said this before : your channel is one of the best ones at music production topics. You're straight to the point and detailed same time. Easy to understand for both new and advanced people. AND : no or very few ( if at all? ) sponsored contents. Which is important to the people when it comes to decisions if they should buy A or B. They want an honest opinion and not "Everything is good" which you see on quite some channels out there. thx for the good work you put into it !

I followed these steps and it helped my track sound so clean. Thank for posting such amazing content. You’re my favorite channel

Wow what a nice topic to master an already loud mix! Always love the start to finish videos! Thanks for the amazing content, Michael! ❤

The pro Q 3 is a thing of beauty. I really love the threshold visibly leaving a line at it's peak so you know where to place it. I also love being able to compare channels to see where the frequencies are clashing

Hi Michael good evening from Cameroon (west Africa ) and thanks so much for the great work you are doing ❤️❤️❤️ .your tutorials are always carrying the full details such that anyone can understand perfectly after watching . thanks once more

Literally i was watching his old videos and i swear this one poped out 😮❤️

Been a while since I checked out your channel, like over a month. But it seems like you’re going strong and you represent a niche in the KZfaq world. Not better or worse than others, but different. Kinda calming.

My Teacher just uploaded!! Thank you teacher!!!

Man this is exactly what I needed for the project I'm working on, bang on timing brother!

Great video! It's amazing to see you genuinely enjoying this process, and the smile when things work out made me smile too

Absolutely love these kind of style videos and walkthroughs. Please don't STOP!

Not many channels that are as educational as this one 💯

Yesir!! Thank You, thank You!! Its awesome to see how comfortable You've become over the years. Much respect and appreciation bro☀️➕

Big fan of your work and thank you so much for the education, Michael! I just recently joined the server as well. Top notch content as always!

Michael always with the best tutorials!

You make these things so understandable, thank you for these tutorials.

So happy to see you again

Great video! I like your technique of explaining a parameter, illustrating it's effect then doing an A/B. Very helpful in understanding the use and application of various tools in the studio. Your adult approach is much appreciated.

I've spent the last 8 years of my life making some the deepest darkest songs ever in history and I have to make my own beats to the songs and I wouldn't be able to do it without your help so thanks

Thank you for this!❤️

thank you Micheal. Best from Poland!

This song brings some serious feelings up bro

Simply priceless your tips and clear explanations. Thank you so much Michael.

lol i got a whole solo 12 track project to master on my own ,your timing is impeccable🙂

Been looking at ur other master videos but glad this came out cause I'm mastering my song & it's good to pick n choose ! Thanks for the info

i think I will use some tips for my next mastering ahah⚡

You've got yourself a new subscriber. Keep those amazing tutorial coming.

After watching this I went straight to Ableton to master a beat. I made the beat on the MPC and even "mastered" there. So, I turned off every mastering plugin and tried to do what you did. And yeah,mine came out trash :D But thanks you! Subbed!

I do love these mastering start to finish videos

Great production from NEZZY ⚡️

Thank you so much for your tutorials. Am hoping that one day you will make a video on how to master a song only with Fabfilter plugins. Sorry that it might sound like a video that should be sponsored but am just saying. Am really grateful for your videos and how you explain every bits and pieces. Perfect.

Your my inspiration... God bless you

Wow, those Acustica mastering vsts look legit!

I sometimes still have difficulties hearing some of the tweaks you make (like attack and release of limiter) but nonetheless I've learned so much through your channel. I'm releasing a new song soon and I couldn't have done it without you.

Hi Michael, thank you for another great Video. I have seen other Mix / Master Videos as well ( appreciate their work too ) however, only in this channel I can see the content with transparency & straight to the point. :)

Cleared so much confusions in a single video

What an amazing video! Thank you so much for sharing this.

AMAZING! Definitely to the point. Next time we can do a more challenging, not well mixed song :)) Cheers mate

Insane!

Def gonna try to use some of these tips next time I master! Thank you!

Love from India 🙏

Yeah, you're back! 👍 - _also_ for the YT algo! 😊

Your videos are fantastic, and although I do this for over 15 years now, you always give me ideas. Thx. Now, the important question - you are left handed?!

TY

I was just watching your 2018 video on mastering from start to finish when this video shows up. The Universe is funny sometimes.

I LOVE DOGS and your videos, thank you so much

Thank You Bro🙌🙌Very Helpful Video🔥🔥.

Love you sir ❤️❤️ Love from India 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳

Great bro..

Here comes another HQ ASMR 🔥🔥🔥

Cute doggy in the background preparing you a comfy seat 😁

Wow that’s the final unmasking a mix masterclass

Thanks to you am getting there

I like how this good liking vampire also pretty good at mixing and mastering.

i like your work you are best

Very nice! Thanks for sharing! 👍🏽

Good job broo! 👏🏻👏🏻🤗🤗

Q: Why does adding a high-pass filter at 18dB to get rid of the low rumble (~4:30) eat up almost 2dB of headroom? Given there is typically lots of energy in the lower frequencies, I thought adding the high-pass filter would actually give you a bit more head room, not eating so much. What gives?

Another Home run Mike!!! I'll need that TDR....

this ivory plugin pretty good

you work hard thank you

Greetings and thanks, cheers

Thanks so much sir..i learned a lot from your videos..im a beginner

thank you for update

I love ur content

i use clipper before the limiter, it clips all the transients but you get a louder because the limiter doesn't deal with the peaks

Thanks Mate!

Hello. Mastering and mixing.

From what I saw (and heard) I noticed how the compressor attack and release can affect the entire sound; I may be a noob with the mixing and mastering, but really I almost can't find a difference after all the mastering, only thing I realize is one is louder than the other, but they both sound very good to me. I don't have professional headphones or sets with lots of speakers and hardware stuff, just normal headphones and FL Studio's FX plugins, so maybe I won't know when and how to improve a mix this way.

i love your videos

Brilliant

A lot to learn there! thank you!

Hey - first of all I have to say that this channel is amazing, and a constant source of useful information and inspiration. Thanks you! How do you embed the ISRC code in your masters? And do you embed anything else for you clients?

Looks at audio interface and monitor price. Is happy for Michael (and only 50% jealous) :)

Dear Michael, thank you for your amazing videos! Sorry to bother you with novice questions. I have started to write songs and try to mix them. And when it came to mastering I feel rather confused and seems to do everything automatically. Your videos are really helpful. (Going back to novice questions) Could you tell me if it is necessary (or just handy) to master the mix using separate project? I work in Studio One and when the song is mixed from my point of view I just add plugins to master bus of the same project. Is it OK to do so?

I noticed you put the ceiling at -0.5dB in the limiter. I tend to set that to -1dB for streaming purposes. What is your idea regarding this?

Why at 4:11 do you lose headroom when you cut below 20hz? I was thinking that would have given you more headroom. Is there a compressor already on further down the chain? Great video and channel btw, just genuinely confused by this!

ONE DAY I WILL BE THE BIGGEST ASIAN ARTIST EVER 🇰🇷😮‍💨😈🚀

Cool video. I have pretty much all of the acoustica audio plugins but Ivory. lol

first

great i like this mastering tip thank you

Hey Michael, awesome walkthru! I was wondering, is it fair to consider eq-matching to get 'closer' to the reference track?

I think best option in this cases to just ask for a quiter version o their mix ! Still will be hard to compete with lower master volumes! Well only for other masters usages!

You’re just amazing. Tried this on my new beats on my channel

I'm your 1k like

Thank you so much for all you videos. I really feel inspired to start making music. BUT am lost in where I should start. I got the DAW, FL off course, - I learn best from learning by doing and have some small success along the way. I did a few tutorials from you and others, but I feel it is hard to start on my own and also figure out what direction to start. I hope you have time so point a complete noob in a direction, which is easy to start in and getting some small successes. I love old school EDM and I was considering to start to sample some old songs and then add more to them as I move along. What would your expert opinion be to that?

Natural Phase is just for linearisation of filters in the highs. Doesn‘t do anything in the lows. If you want no Pre-Ringing but Post-Ringing this or normal mode is the right one. If you want no change in phase linear phase is the right one... then choose a higher linear phase mode for less pre-ringing... Always know your gear! ;)

nice lessons 🤟💛

dog goin crazy in the background awww
