grrrr ...subtitle is out !!!!! But really , i understand you better than the other english teacher on the web , with their different strange accent or speed of pronunciation . Thanks Sofia and Thomas for all you work .
Hello Sofia and Thomas. Your tutorials are simple, precise and very consistent. In fact, you always get to the point, and avoid drowning us in details, which too often are a sneaky way for other trainers/web sellers to confuse us and make us a little dependent on their knowledge..... So why don't you offer lessons or even case studies online ??? @@@ paid of course to compensate for your educational work....In fact, in a few weeks, I have really become a loyal fan of your tone, your thoughts, your hearing sensitivity and also your open and tolerant mind. Thank you for reading my missive translated by Google of course...hahahaha.
Hi Jacques, glad to hear that you like our videos! 🙂 We did offer a course during covid and a while after. It was actually quite appreciated but at the moment we don’t have time available outside of the studio work. We do have a new really good resource in our store, a PDF about peak limiting, feel free to check it out! Link in the description. /Thomas
Hello Sofia et Thomas !!! another post from me ... after watching all your videos, I think this one is the best of all. In addition to my experience as a simple viewer of many tutorials on audio for at least 15 years, I even suspect that your video is a real bomb in the world of "educator" sellers who populate the web ... I will not mention any names out of courtesy. On the other hand, I send you all my gratitude for your sharing on this subject and others . It is a noble and humanist act that brings our mind and our actions towards a happy sobriety. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR HELP 💯👍
little sneaky noises, that we barely hear when they are there ... But when they disappear, for a fraction of a millisecondes it leaves a deep silence ... Do you have fox ears? or bat ears? or dolphin ears? I'll let you choose. Thank you for all these beautiful thoughts that you offer us.
hello ... you don't use a DIN measurement to listen to the impact of the low frequencies of a signal? in the USA, producers are all addicted to this type of calibration. If anyone is interested I could give the settings to obtain this. Thank you Thomas et Sofia for your work.
You have solved many of my problems with your videos! It's the first time on the net that I see people who show and demonstrate without exaggerating... soon I promise I will make a donation to thank you.
My english is bad ...so i understand a little bit this video !!!!!!!!!! i prefer when RU-vid propose subtitle ... in menu option - select automatic translation - and select your language ... I love this feature . Thanks Thomas you're generous teacher .
Cher thomas et Sofia ...you are amazing ... Why do so few people "like" you on youtube? Don't they see you with all the tutorials that exist? Or maybe you just prefer this old Japanese adage; "A drop of ink that falls into a glass, dilutes and the intensity is unbalanced ... ". Thanks for these superb tips and frankly you kick the butts (with gentleness and wisdom) to many pseudo mixing teachers and others on the internet. . looking forward to following you again.
so I mastered a track as usual (not always being unhappy with the result) ... And then I tested the respect of the staging gain of -18 lufs throughout the process and before the last limiters. It's fantastic, the difference is huge ... because I really heard what each plugin was doing on the signal, and the settings were easier to make. A big thank you for this vital and basic teaching.
Hello .....the trick with the vu-meter is great. I had not yet thought about the fact that large movements of needles could be used to anticipate the attitude of the limiter. Thanks for this very simple but terribly effective trick.
I’m a complete amateur self learner and based on a bunch of RU-vid videos, I just jam a limiter with -0.3db to avoid blowing up the volume bar in the mastering chain. And I feel most of the songs don’t sound quite right no matter how I adjust the rest of the mix. But it is probably what you’ve illustrated in this video, and my random uneducated use of the limiter that causes this. Thank you and I’ll dive deeper into this topic.
Is it different with desktop systems and does it always matter or only after certain amount of volume? I always feel like I am listening at quite low volume compared what I could and bass seems ok...
Thank you so much! It’s something I always take care even in the mixing process, I like to mix into 3 mixbuss, I > II > III > Master each one doing little or much of something I can disable and listen what it does, otherwise it’s easy to fool yourself if its louder, it easily gets messy.
By the way one thing I probably would have done in this mix earlier or later, it’s some good harsh tamer (TDR arbiter for Ex)to control something harsh mid to high on some specific region that isn’t a transient catch by the clipper
Thanks for making this video... How do you feel about tilt EQs in mastering? (To make overall adjustment brighter or darker.) Using Pro-Q 3, I tried an extreme +18dB tilt followed by a -18dB tilt in a second instance and it didn't damage the sound. That makes me think a more moderate adjustment would be a safe way to gently shift the overall balance.
If I may intercede. Leaving dither on might give the listener more options to use his personal EQ skills to change your music while listening, potentially even while driving. In other words, it's for the listener's convenience?
Since you're using Limitless isn't this like using between 2-4 limiters in a series depending on the advanced settings or style of each? Since limitless is 2 limiters in 1 :)
In a world that has not only made “compression” synonymous to “Downward Compression” but also has put “downward compression” on a pedestal …to the point where upward compression and expansions are not even discussed as an optional “Dynamic range controlling” techniques, here is one channel that decided to put things in perspective and demonstrate techniques beyond the default downward compression. Absolute ‘must watch’ for anyone who deals with dynamics processing; sit up, wake up and ponder over possibilities.
Have you ever used NDH 30s? Just got a pair but waiting on an audio interface that can handle higher ohm phones (ndh30 are 120 ohm I believe). Also have you tried Slate Digital's vsx for room referencing? I've heard good things. It's on my wish list
