my mind is gonna explode

I appreciate not just listing the gear but why and when you use each thing. I like how you have analog processing and then ADC and use a digital plugin limiter.

I caught that you mentioned pushing boundaries at the start. Do you have examples of that by chance? That would be a great video to see. Everyone talks about pushing boundaries but that feels like a really restrictive thing to do with mastering. It's something that really only advances in inches not miles per year. Extending trends rather than making new ones. Would be great to see you cover this.

I love the slow fade out at the end 🤣classic outro!

Love your videos bro! I was wondering if you are going to do a video on how to get an 808 and kick sit together when you don't want to sidechain? I only ask, cause a lot of the time people say "pick a better kick and 808 combo", but the kick sounds good, and the 808 too, and I want to keep all that punch from the kick without losing out on the energy of the 808 (I think out of everything, this is the biggest struggle). I do EQ, and polarity flip so the phase isn't an issue, but I'm always lacking that real punch

Thank you for making this excellent content!

Great video - super articulate and to the point. When your monitoring normally are you monitoring through Dangerous AD+ since that's what you will print through or is it just direct from the Antelope?

Great channel, just found

Hey! Thank you as always for the content. Been making music for a while but started mixing about 6 months ago. I’ve gotten really good at achieving the sound I want (mostly thanks to your videos) But I find myself struggling to mix 2 track beats. Now I know its not recommended to mix a two track if you can get your hands on the stems, but sometimes I have no access to the stems and have to workaround with the dynamics. And most of the two track beats I’ve mixed with vocals are really compressed and limited, or just not mixed at all. If you found yourself in this situation with no stems, how would you mix a two track with vocals? Thanks again 🙏

Nice chain and thanks for the video. I didn't see you had anything in your chain for dedicated saturation or stereo imaging, and you didn't get into any Mid/Side processing at all. Curious if you use strictly plugins for saturation like FabFilter Satellite or any hardware units like the Black Box HG-2 / Vertigo VSM-2 and didn't see anything like the Ozone Imager or a Neve Portico II for editing the stereo field so much. I also didn't see a hyped up SSL Fusion in your chain, which I also don't have and really don't care for that unit or plugin in my chain. Are you doing any MultiBand compression either? I've got various tools in my chain, usually I'll go into something like the BaX or Kush Clariphonic M/S then into the SPL PQ, from there into Thermionic Phoenix to glue everything, then start boosting a bit with the Maselec MEA-2, possibly taming or shaping a bit with the Maselec MLA-4 and Elysia Nvelope, then into the Portico II MBP for some stereo imaging, into either the Shadow Hills Mastering Comp or SPL Iron and into the Bettermaker Darth Limiter to finish the analog chain out into FabFilter L2 to kinda finish things off. Been experimenting with Gulfoss near the end of the chain also lately, or sometimes I'll add in the Ozone Imager if I need ti widen things up before my final limiters. Cheers.

Another banger my man! Question: How do you use Pro L as a clipper?

I have a question, i saw a couple of your videos and in one of them you showed how dangerous it could be adding a HPF on masters because of phase issues, how about in mixing, is it okay to use them or should i refrain from doing that on kicks and 808 unless necessary?

Thanks for the great videos and sharing your knowledge and expertise. I'm learning so much. If I understand correctly you are going into your analog chain after -1db digital clipping. Is that not too hot for analog or do you gain stage down before? I thought it was best to go in at -18db.

Are you soft clipping in Standard Clip or Hard Clipping? What about its Saturatior, using that? I know hard clipping would be bad for subs but soft clipping starts altering the waveform sooner so I never know which is the least of two evils in this context.

Great Vid, So whats the 2023 template?

Bravo!!!!

you still got the dangerous convert 2 ?

so the signal comes really hot to you analog setup? and your final limiter is used just to do brick wall or does it is used to bring more volume? (and usually to how many dbs of gaining do you go)

your voice this video sounds like it has some distortion on it (like asymmetrical soft clipping). Kinda distracting, I would check your signal path and levels after video export.
