This tutorial should be an example for KZfaq. Most KZfaq beginner tutorial lack the ability to teach at a granular level. They teach as if the new user already have prior knowledge. It's so frustrating. This tutorial is granular, simple, concise and complete.

This is the greatest thing about KZfaq. Once in a while you get to be taught by someone you'd never meet otherwise. We need to take down the campuses and create global learning resources where the best teachers, like you, rise to the top. Then the correct salaries will be awarded. 5% of teachers are great and deserve to be paid hundreds of thousands if not more. Unfortunately, bricks and mortar model is what is destroying teacher salaries, turning teaching positions into side gigs, which is a crime. Can't wait for the changes to come. Keep this up.

Can you do a version for ableton live LITE? If that's possible. You teach soooo well, I was following every single step and really understanding, only hold back was that I wasn't able to follow most because of the difference in suite and lite plug-ins available and I'm not sure if I can substitute some such as the EQ 8 and Glue Compressor either of which I am not seeing avaliable in the lite version.

@Ferrichrome Жыл бұрын

I know this is super late but you could use EQ three for mastering or you can get an EQ plug-in if lite supports VSTs. I recommend tdr nova.

Thanks so much for this. I have an additional question, how would you adjust the LUFS louder or softer to get it closer to -12? Would this be done in the mixing state? You went over adjusting the true peak with the limiter, but how do adjust the LUFS?

@TheRealAudioProfessor 4 жыл бұрын

Good question. I could have been a bit clearer, but the LUFS control for this track is done with the Limiter. For example: if the LUFS were -14, I would raise the gain on the Limiter 2db. Hopefully this answers your question.

That’s a really great question. In reality, most anything that’s not too quiet is fine. I think around -3db to -5 or 6 gives a good headroom for when you start EQing to prevent clipping.

@TheRealAudioProfessor 3 жыл бұрын

I’m looking up options for the Bass Mono. For POW-R 3 dither, it’s designed for the most complex material, like a full song, while 1 and 2 are designed for single or minimal instruments. In reality, the type of dither doesn’t matter much at all, despite what others may say. As long as you have it, and it’s set to match the output of your bit rate

Hi, thanks for the tutorial. One question regarding the EQing of the sidechain compression: isn’t it necessary to activate the sidechain-button and select the source to get the effect working?

@demp11 3 жыл бұрын

Yea I think he just ment eqing it not sidechaining

@BluffMunkey 2 жыл бұрын

In this case the sidechain is the internal (audio) signal. He's removing the low end frequencies from the compressor detection circuit so that it's only compressing audio above that frequency.
