I was paying landr to master my tracks but after watching your vids I just mastered my first one on my own and it came out amazing. I'm def subscribing...Appreciate you vids bro. Loyal sub right here from this moment on.

01:50 is before 17:24 is after

This helped me so much. My beats sound 10x better. Nothing to loud. Nothing to quiet. No distorting. Just a clean and clear mix all the way through. Thank you for taking out the time to help🙏

After getting the waves bundle, MY GOD it is such a HUGE difference in production quality if you are thinking about getting it GET IT!

im in my last year in college and you're better than my tutor AMAZING

Sean, I'm a musician first engineer 2nd and your videos have helped me improve my sound and understand the science behind mastering. Thanks a ton! Keep it up!

Best tutorial engineer online! If you could please make a tutorial on a full mixdown for a hip/rap song with mastering after would be PERFECT 😩🙏🏽

You don't know how much inappreciate your tutorials.. You explain everything we need to know and also you sound and look very confident in your seshes. Good shit mane keep at it

thanks man, used this for my hiphop beat and honestly the most blessed piece now. first beat i made and now sounds 10x better because of this, appreciate it dude!

just wanna say thank YOU! i own krk rokit5 for about 2 years. and i finally get the sound i wanted ! Im happy

Thanks for this Sean. Started producing 3 months ago and this has saved me time and I’ve literally followed your method step by step and it works. Thanks once more man. I really appreciate it

SEAN! Ur a freaking genious!!! Thanks for listening to me bro. Appreciate it.

I use FL studio but even so these tutorials have helped improved the quality of my mixing and mastering so much.

I didn't think this work work out well, but it did - well done. I was especially surprised at how transparent the limiter sounded with quite a bit of gain reduction

Sean you save my life man ... Bless you , this ist the greatest mastering tutorial ever !!!

That trick you did with the Gain plugin was dopeeeeeee!! Super helpful.

This channel is the best i have come across on KZfaq. All the videos are so informative. If i am ever in doubt about anything i know where to come!

Only just found this video. Legit saved me. Great tutorial!

Im learning so much and loving your channel. Many thanks for posting this stuff for free. So many mix/master engineers are reluctant to share tips and understandably so - it's their living. I just hope the channel generates you an increased amount of paid work!

I may have deleted the comment you replied to, but thank you so much for replying to my comment on your 7yo video. I had the concern about getting the limiter gain to boost my rms dbs. Of course you were right and my plugin chain was out of order. Fortunately, someone on reddit helped me with that too. This mastering technique of yours is truly amazing. Mastering was the one element that I haven't been able to wrap my head around for 15 years, no joke, but this video and your explanations made so much sense and helped so much. Once I got my plugins properly ordered, I finally have a track that sounds good and loud after all these years. Thanks again, you're a legend.

bro your the best audio engineer ..nice how you explain ...got you i was having problems with my master but now thanks to you i know more about it take care broky

Excellent video Sean.. Outstanding work.

You are my new go-to channel to expand my game in sound design. Thanks for all the content, cannot say it enough.

That tune was harrdddf

Thank you so much

This video was very informative and made my amateur mastering sound way better and closer to professional.

Sean Divine...Big Thank for everything !!!

Most helpful video I’ve found online to date. Thanks sean

I love your videos and your humble attitude sir. Therapeutic voice you have👏👏👏🙏

Thank u for your in sight

I'm loyal to your vids bro bless ! ,

Broooo you are the best !! Really ! Very helpfully. Thx a lot ! RESPECT FROM GREECE!

bro this was a life saver game changer. your the man

thanks.

respect for this. plz make more videos with stock plug-ins

Landr ain’t getting paid from me no more..thanks bro

What’s up Sean. I got a bunch of questions from this vid if you have a min to go through them. I’ll separate them to keep it neat 1)why use a limiter? Why not just raise all the track volumes together? 2)do you always set the ceiling on the gain plugin at 0.1? If so why? 3)can you get away with just using rms and not use lufs just for simplicity sake? It would be one less thing to worry about. If so, did you say it’s just good practice to keep it at -8 for the whole track? 4)is this video applicable to any genre for the most part? How may it differ? 5)what is mandatory in the mastering process? I know everything is highly subjective with music but what would you say is objective? I assume one thing would be that the music needs to be at a certain dB to compete. I assume theres some other things as well. Could you break it down? Hope you can answer these when you’re free. No rush. Whatever you have time for is appreciated.

yooo I just whitelisted you on my ad block, don't what I would do without you bro.

This guy actually helps his subscribers, WISH HE A DONATE LINK $

thanks bro!

HOLY SHIT THANK YOU

thank you, & love you

Thank you so much this video is great!!!!

hey man love the info on this video so far i’ll definitely sit down with it better soon! do you have a video on how you got to this point? (noob here) like before bouncing my track, whereabouts should my db be at? and what format would be best? thank you

Hello bro you can only make a video as you rap complete with wave plugins mix? And hook the sing many thanks would be very much connected to you

Sean have my children !!

When I tried to use the limiter my RMS wouldn't change no matter how much I raised the DB level. The track got louder and would start distorting but my meter was no help at all. Can you help me with this Sean ?

Sean, I completely understand how to master now and what RMS we should be aiming for etc. I'm just a bit confused with what we try to aim for in the mixing stage. Throughout all your videos you push the mix all the way to 0db so where does the headroom come from? Thanks mate, loving these videos! G

much appreciated bro I'm new and pretty much on a budget when it comes to making music and this video is going to be of great help. Do u have a video on mixing, same type of music but with stock plugins?

I dont hear a difference whatsoever when he compares his subtle changes lol but great video def taught me a lot as i folowed along with my beat

Thanks man this is soooo helpful. Btw can you recommend any cool plugin to use instead of Spreader?

What do you think about the Slate fgX for mastering? And also do you leave about -6db headroom for mastering? And does that mean -6 on all tracks or -6 on peak levels on the volume output? Thanks

Hi! Ur videos are amazin man, thank u for sharin ur knowledge. Please tell me, should I use multi band compressor on my masters on instrumentals ? Salute :)

QUESTION: When i turn up the gain on the adaptive limiter, nothing changes on the level meter even though I can hear it get louder. What am i doing wrong?

Dope tutorial I subbed, but was wondering if its better to master the vocals and beat together rather than export them together as a full song then master them, like you did in the tutorial?

i dont know what i did wrong, maybe someone can help!! My track definitely got louder but my RMS didnt change at all its staying at -16. also once exported to itunes it sounds distorted, but it isnt clipping at all.

Thanks for the tutorial Sean. Is buying extra mastering plugins really worth it? It seems like the stock plugins do the same thing. And also, why do you think DAW's like Reason, Ableton, and Protools cost hundreds of dollars more than Logic?

Yo Sean At the end while using the adlimiter it was clipping on the channel. Is that not an issue ? Amazing video and love learning from you !

can we put waves doubler instead of stereo spread ? If yes! but why?

Hey, Sean! :D Great tutorial, going to check out the template! Just wondering, do we have to master on the .wav file or could we do all of this on the master output? Thanks!

how do i bounce my audio down to the 1 track like you have there

If we weren't using stock plugins. What would you have used for the stereo spread and multi band compression? I'm having a hard time getting this particular mix to RMS - 5 without getting some glitches
