We need a mastering lesson by kshmr! That would be great!

@SOKRVT 7 жыл бұрын

It's better to keep the lessons more on the creative side, than technical. Either way, we can learn from him by observing his EQ moves, etc. I already learned a ton and improved dramatically by just observing his settings. It's more important to educate us on the creative side of things, like he did with melody, bassline and generally how to make an impact with your drop. He's too good on the arrangement that he needs little things on the mastering. Try his settings and just use a simple compressor on the master, with simple limiter.

mixing is when it is important. focus on mixing before mastering. a master cannot fix any problems! mastering only enhances and adds the final touch to the track. the mixing, eqing, and compression is important! i am into edm and i do mixing and mastering too. i have learned that good eq and good compression is key. i will give you one tip: try OTT compressor, it is really good

This isn't anything like the music I make (psychedelic guitar-based pop rock) or even listen to but I like to look at how different artists across genres create and produce. KSHMR is seriously one of the better teachers I've come across, really clear and direct. This is pure gold for any EDM artists out there and gives me a lot more insight into the thought and theory behind this kind of music. Super chill dude, thanks for sharing!

I love how these tutorials aren't, "Here's how I made this sound, guys... k, bye." like a lot of tutorials, (and I have watched a very, very great many) but instead is like, "Here is how to convey this FEELING, and here is how I make this non-specific element work into my mix, and if you need some examples on how you could use this elsewhere, try X Y and Z," and it's really lovely to have that kind of insight. Tutorials done right, for certain!~

@generalq8933 7 жыл бұрын

Nikola Ristic I didn't say it has no impact. But it's not significant in contrast to the difference your composing,soundesign and mixing skills will make. In the hands of a good producer 99% of all people that listens to music won't be able to tell the difference between a 200$ plugin and a free one
