How to Master a Dance Track - Tips and techniques (FFL!) 

yes

Lol

yeah too bad :( cant watch it like this

This feature is turned on or off in your settings. But default it is usually turned on. Nobody masters songs at different levels for different services. You master 1 good loud ish version for all services. Maybe a separate one for vinyl.

Why thank you :)

He means the *potential* to be loud depends on the quality of the mix. If your mix has a high crest factor, the final achievable loudness will be lower than it would be if your mix has a lower crest factor. There aren't many meters that show crest factor, but SPAN and the dpMeter do; there are probably others.

I would even add that it starts at the arrangement and sound creation / selection process. Dont layer sounds with pronounced transients atop of each other for example.

true story bro! it s all about the mix (little secret: use saturation and/or clipper!)

Well, many believe you loudness is all about putting a limiter on heavy duty during the mastering process...

That's actually one of the most important points to make. Just because you know it doesn't mean everyone does brah.

MB TV Many thanks for this! I'll have to give this a try.

hype

There really isn’t a big difference whatsoever. It comes down to what an EQ is capable of. Some emulate analog better yada yada yada but it’s more in what you’re doing with it

Because that's how the average man is. 42% on men experience hair loss and more than that are overweight. Engineers are not hired based on looks or fitness and have sedentary jobs so there you go.

*dusts off your comment* Sample rates above 44.1kHz only add the capability to sample/reproduce frequencies above 22.05kHz. 96 or 192 have the same exact replication of a sampled signal between 0 and 22.05kHz as 44.1kHz sample rate. A squarewave might look more appealing or as if it contains more detail with higher sample rates, but this is just due to the overtones beyond 22.05kHz. Your hears work like a low pass filter anyway, so both 182k and 44.1k sample rates hit your ear with exactly the same 0-22.05khZ signal (because everything above ~20k is low pass filtered by your ears anyway, you don't have hair cells that would resonate with higher frequencies). A different topic is using a higher bitrate. This is actually important for production - so use 24bits over 16 bits whenever possible. I hope that helps! If you want to read up on this, search for "digital show and tell" and "24/192 Music Downloads are Very Silly Indeed" - both hosted on Xiph (.org). Samples are not played back in steps, so most visual representations of a sampled signal are highly misleading.

You totally right, you want to keep the digital artefacts as low as possible, that means in the non-audible range. You could either do that by print your mix in 96kHz and do the mastering in 96kHz, I do that a lot. Or you use 44,1kHz and oversampling, like in this case (have a look at the Pro-MB, uses 4x oversampling). This has nothing to do with nyiquist or having a greater frequency range, this is about digital artefacts from the plug-ins !!

Looks like he has the mix knob turned almost all the way down tho, so driving it hard and putting a tiny bit of it in parallel to the dry signal.

Is was -12 before and they have changed to -14. Maybe they did it shortly after they made this or so.

yeah that made me laugh too. he's proud of it as well

just a mouth fart

Yes but there is a subtle beauty in clicking the time link over and over thus manually creating a loop

yeah and when you write the word awesome, the video player gets crazy like the midi keyboard.

Hahahahaha

i would personally boost the low end on that fart..a bit of reverb and a ping pong delay,,it would sound huge and warm...hopefully not too wet tho
