I use a little of both. Most times my master chain goes like this: light compression, Eq, some soft clipping (I use fruity wave shaper for this, and then light limiting, all while trying to keep as much dynamic range as possible while still hitting around -12 to -13db LUFS. I actually do this on a mix bus vs the master. Why? So if anyone buys the stems they can do their own mastering or use mine as a reference. I know your technically not supposed to master beats but I do so it sounds good to people who just like to Listen to instrumentals.

My master is slick EQ and Limiter No. 6 using all the components very lightly but the HF Limiter, only because I have no idea what that one does and my ears don't notice anything so I don't use it. But Limiter No 3 and Slick EQ was a game changer for me. Both are free. I'm still no master engineer but my shit sounds way better than it did before I started using them. I try to stay away from maximizers. Simply because I feel like I don't have enough control over them and they always seem to leave artifacts I don't like. I'm actually thinking about starting to produce and mix into my mastering chain.

Hey man, just wanted to know a few things: 1. Do you produce with a limiter on your MASTER or just add the limiter at the end? 2. Do you keep your Master Rack at 0db all the time while mixing? And if you bounce the WAV out, do you bounce it out at 0db or e.g -6db to add even more headroom? Thanks for the awesome videos!

@pablo8a872 2 жыл бұрын

1. I personally add the limiter at the end to kinda level everything a little bit and just make the whole master listenable 2. While mixing I recommend you to keep the loudest part of your mix (like the end stage of it) at like -6 db so you have enough headroom to master afterwards

So my 808 kicks (example) using 2. (not the bassy ones) distort when velocity is high. but if I lower them then they don't have that kick sound I want. It sounds great no distortion whats so ever on my speakers and even in my car but on my earbuds its the heaviest clip distortion and it feels like ive tried everything from lowering velocity, compressors, MB compressing, limiting, EQ

@THATBOYTHEWAVE 5 жыл бұрын

Cory Kingbreaker more time bro it’s just the 808s you’re using. I used to get this problem a lot!. One thing that helped me was choosing the 808 (good quality 808’s like foreign teck kits for example) before the kick. This way you can better hear how the kick will sound with the 808. I always keep the velocity levels on the 808 at the default level and just make it loud when I’m levelling / gain staging the overall mix by blending it into the kick. MB compressors won’t do much for the 808 except help control it overall in the mix but MB compression is very intricate and can easily ruin the mix. Also watch lifestyles video on 808 distortion he got some dope tips!. Follow me on IG @thewavebeats I can send you a video of what I mean 👌🏽
