RU-vid told you to cut freq in the master channel then you cut because the low freq (~20~30Hz) but did you take care about the phase yet? 😮 Just try to learn more in mixing phase bro ❤ thanks
The human hearing goes from 20Hz to around 18kHz so by leaving in frequencies that are generally outside of our hearing range, it eats up the actual bass & high end. It’s basically just getting rid of what you can’t hear, to highlight what you can
I apologize, I’ve mainly been learning from RU-vid & experimenting on my own. I hope to get better in the future! if you have any advice you can give me it would be greatly appreciated
Leave the mastering to a mastering engineer, or take a deep dive into the craft. This video generalises mastering, doesn't explain the reasoning behind anything done, and there are even some things I can only call mistakes. Stop making youtube tutorials if all you know, you know from youtube tutorials
I’m Sorry! What mistakes have I made here that I can improve on? RU-vid is the only resource I have at the moment for learning, but I’m trying my best!
More effects wont make a bad mix sound good i personally just have a clipper on the master and mix it to the point its already releaseable as and throw it on ozone 11. And i just EQ add saturation and stereo image and compress. Depending on the track. DONT COPY ANYBODYS SETTINGS use ur own ears And Bass in mono is a myth. YES your sub bass synth in the synth should be mono but not on your master unless u mixing for a vinyl. Monoing ur sub bass will actually make your track less bubbly.
Thank you for the information! The only thing I really like from Ozone is their stereo imaging. I feel like the ai mastering from them doesn’t really work for the things I make
@@slycoopxrjpg184 yeah thr Ai mastering is ass. it just makes everything sound flat and bright. Ozone might seem intimidating at first but trust me. Its not magic, i still have a lot to learn but its necesary to learn how to master manually. nothing beats good training for your ears.
@@the3dotsguy...610 Good luck on your learning journey! I think I’m about 2-3 years in learning mixing & mastering. I feel pretty good about it so far, but there’s still a lot for me to learn
Hey friendly piece of advice, -14 lufs is a target for streaming services but going above 14 lufs in no way damages your speakers. All streaming services turn down songs integrated loudness down to -14 in a process called normalization, but if you turn off normalization and listen to a top 40s playlist then almost every song without exception with be above 14 lufs. Most pop and edm songs range between -9 and -6 lufs fyi
@@user-yk3ci3tg1s My apologies, thank you for the information! I was thinking that -14 was a good margin to shoot for so that nothing was altered through the streaming service normalization process
@@slycoopxrjpg184that’s a fair initial assumption to make, but the normalization process on streaming is just turning the whole file down by the difference in *integrated* loudness, the loudness of the whole song. IE if the song is -12 lufs it will just turn the file down by two db Which is an incredibly transparent process which makes it usually useless to avoid. The reason why you limit even though the song will be normalized is for 2 reasons. 1 - limiters will still shrink the dynamic range, meaning that if if you limit it really hard the volume of the lowest and Loudest sound will be closer and we perceive that as louder. 2 - limiters sound nice, they provide a nice glue and cohesion as well as excitement and honing in the settings of your limiter should always be about that rather than loudness. The most important thing in mastering is to follow your ears! Everything else comes second
Thank you! I'm still a noob too tbh. There's just so much to learn that you kinda just have to take it one step at a time and try and learn at least one new thing every day lol
