Sneak peek from Bernie Grundman's mastering workshop, in which he explains his thought process behind the art of mastering;
Hosted at Bernie Grundman Mastering studios in Hollywood, this special series dives deep into the art and science of mastering audio with Mr. Grundman himself! The iconic engineer goes into great detail on a variety of pertinent issues to mastering, from listening environment and speaker design to evaluating and modifying equipment. He imparts his philosophy on using only what is absolutely necessary in the signal chain, and elaborates on why he favours certain types of equipment, software, power supplies, cabling, and other elements that are essential in achieving the most pristine result possible. Aside from fascinating insight into the many facets of his profession, you can learn how Bernie applies his techniques by watching him master two songs by the singer Melody Gardot - 'Baby I'm a Fool' and 'It Gonna Come’.

I attended a mastering session for two singles of mine - and I learned so much in that session, I want to say it was equal to what have learned in my entire career ... Very inspiring guy.

Such a great video. As a MWTM paid subscriber I really wish you guys would do another one with Bernie. His wisdom seems boundless and his passion is infectious! He really made me re-evaluate my own attitudes towards gear and the process. Pleeeease get him on again MWTM.

This man's has been the mastering engineer for most of the soundtrack of my youth. From pop to gangster rap, Grundman makes it sound sooooooo good! Thank you Bernie for making my music more musical. And for these tips. Sounds like Jam and Lewis took a page from your book, too.

I would like to hear the original track before it mastered to hear the difference

I spent an hour with Bernie recently and he talked the whole time- Incredible information from a truly magical guy. He would rather be mastering than doing anything else and it shows in his work.

Great video, I love the detail he goes into for Analog vs Digital, it's always great to have someone with such insane knowledge explain the pros and cons of something, don't think I've ever watched a video on this channel and not learned something I could apply to my own music.

@Andersljungberg 2 года назад

Now there is a difference between Digital and digital according to some it does not sound DSD like PCM. and 24 bit does not sound like 16 bit. not to mention extreme DXD sampled at 352.8 kHz 🧐

@cornerliston 3 года назад

I really like experienced people and I'm sure Bernie can spot very small details in sound that many of us struggle to hear. Mostly because experience tells you what to listen for. But I'm thinking, If he didn't KNOW that there was a digital EQ used, would he still be able to spot it as he claims, because it has a “sound.” Not trying to be smart, just curious but somewhat sceptical that he can. There's many well known sound engineers that claim they can hear analogue gear and digital gear and hearing the “Neve sound” and the “API sound” etc. Maybe they can. But wouldn't it be just so interesting to try this out? I'm pretty confident that it would be difficult to find any volunteers though. Love to see me proven wrong.

@davidsteadman1613 3 года назад

I find just passing a signal through SOME pieces of hardware has a very distinctive characteristic, like a manley massive passive or an orban eq. People have set up variations of these types of things in various fb groups and here on you tube. It's a bit like knowing the sound of a particular guitar amp, only so much more subtle. You should give acustica audio a try if you are unaware of them. Immediate notice for me about 10yrs ago from a developer using the same tech. a freebie, R2R tape plugin cdsoundmaster.com

@@davidsteadman1613 I've heard someone say "Michael Brauer" is top at that, and really knows and understands what audio he wants going through what hardware for that "character" it adds... even if he's barely affecting the signal. It's just for the CHARACTER!

@@drainer_333 i just like to pick on millenials... and in this particular case, due to technology alot of millenials dont even have the right concepts of what "mastering" is... to many ppl i hear say that they mix and master their songs..basically they mean they put a rediculous amount of plugins on their tracks and they master by putting a limiter on the master... just even the concept of having a second ear is not there.

The problem isn't analog or digital. The problem are people who are approaching this with a tribal mindset rather than with science.

@kaiulrich6185 3 года назад

Has anybody ever defined what it actually means to call an EQ „ musical“ ? We had that discussion forever back in the days of Midas vs. Yamaha in Live Sound.

@davidsteadman1613 3 года назад

I've never really giving it much thought. But in this moment, I'm thinking it's about the Q curve shape and the devices sonics being imparted.

@RTCLR123 3 года назад

Not that i've heard, but Rupert Neve said in his interwiev that he made his works with a great spirit as being guided... I wont go there, but i struggle with software synths and i try kitchen sink on them too..only bass is musical. Golden ratio, fibonacci, fractals, dark matter, ether.. is your answer, but it gets deeper than that, quantum actually. Your nose is working on quantum principles..but it is not in the school books. I went there quickly, to sum it up, i am looking foward to using analog equipment!

@AndreiSora 3 года назад

Probably a combination of pleasing harmonic distortion and wide Q.

@thlgnd 3 года назад

It's just a marketing term to get people to buy analog gear. You can literary clone any EQ curve you want with modern eqs like FabFilter and iZotope. Musicial = Broad Q e.g. 3 octaves.

@jeromelester8 3 года назад

A "technical" sounding EQ i the opposite, something, that doesn't support the music.

@Andersljungberg 2 года назад

But aren't there artifacts in the sound of Dynamic Compression? . especially when raising the lowest volume. so that on the weak and loud sounds tones sound the next equally loud. in the worst case, sound cuts the peaks at the 0 line. an example someone is playing real acoustic drums. if you use strong dynamic compression, this drum will sound more like it sounded slow and tough. in relation to recording the drum kit without compression or listening to it live

@rabarebra Год назад

Do you question Bernie?

@lepidoptera9337 7 месяцев назад

Of course there are. Everything you do produces artifacts. Sometimes they are unwanted and sometimes they are wanted for artistic reasons. The only trick is to differentiate between what's good and what isn't. Most people will mess up recordings with an analog EQ just as easily as with a digital one. The same is true for compressors and any other effect processing system. At the end of the day all of this is nonsense. Some artists can produce a beautiful painting with a spray can and others need a hundred different oil and acrylic tubes. Most people can't produce anything of lasting value no matter the tools.

@apoorva99400 3 года назад

he obviously meant it to use a digital one as the main mastering eq to shape the spectrum, he clearly said that they might've to use it once in a while for surgical eqing and obviously digital can only give that... don't try to pick words and prove yourself, respect the person he's more than ~80, we know how jealous you are of his signal path.
