Thanks man, all the small adjustments made my song sound a lot better. Great tutorial I would recommend it to everyone that does not know where to start.
Out of all the videos out there on mixing I've found that Mixing with this Jerry dude to be the BEST explained. He explains everything in layman terms and makes it EXTREMELY easy to understand. All the other guys out there in these types of videos want to sound super smart by using all engineering terms, but when your starting out you have no idea what any of it means. So Well done Jerry. Thank you very much for posting these videos. HUGE help.
Thank you, Jerry for your help. Sometimes engineering takes a lot of practice. I’ve been doing this for over 40 years. Haven’t mastered until the last two years on reaper. Now I have studio one and wave. That work pretty well. As long as I’m doing the right thing.
I finally found some time to watch this video T_T I had it on my "Watch Later" list for 1 month. Now that I watched it, the amount of information is really useful!
Jerry: you are about as efficient a teacher as one could be, given the broad nature of your topic here. No wonder the comments people leave are glowing! Keep up the excellent work; you are so helpful to so many people, and your song examples with which you work are superior. God bless.
Thanks for this! This is the best vid on mastering I have ever seen. I followed your advice (with some slight alterations) and I have the best master I have ever done for myself. Turn ya dark art into something learnable!
Thanks Jerry, the video was very informative and helpful. Strongly recommend this video to ppl doing their first mastering Project or anyone who has tried and not getting the basics right.
Thank you so much for this! I have never quite understood mastering that well and this just helped immensely! I have just followed this step by step with a track of mine and I have always struggled with getting the loudness right and this worked like a bomb for me! Super excited to release this!
Didn’t watched the full video yet but I know it’s gonna be on point as always. And comes at the right time coz I’m struggling with mastering. Sometimes loud as I want it and sometimes not😢. Thank u Jerry 😁
Thanks for the feedback. I use master assistant as well.. usually it gives me some weird EQ suggestions that I have to remove. I do like how it identifies bad frequencies with the Dynamic EQ and also sets the multiband compressor to control the low end.
Hey man, another dope and very helpful video. It’s always helps when I see that you guys use the same plugins that I have. I do have a few questions for you. Do you also master with outboard gear? When mastering itb do you ever use multiple limiters? You actually prefer Waves aphex over Izotope’s exciter? (just curious).
I’m all in the box right now. I’d like to get some outboard mixing and mastering gear in the future though. I’ve never used 2 limiters before but I usually do use a clipper on my drum bus so that when everything gets to the limiter it won’t have to work so hard. I definitely use the Ozone Exciter, but to cut down on time I decided to go with the simpler option for tutorial purposes. EQ, Dynamic EQ, Exciter, and Maximizer are the main modules I would typically use. Sometimes the Dynamics multiband compressor also if something is sticking out too much.
Loudness comes in the mix. Saturation will really help with that. It adds harmonics for loudness, but also brings down the peaks at the same time. That’s a must for kick and snare. Try to control your peaks in your mix so that the final limiter doesn’t have to deal with a whole lot of spikes in audio. That’s what causes bad distortion artifacts. Sidechaining the kick and bass/808 will also save 2db of headroom if done correctly. I’ve been putting a limiter on the vocal to tame any wild peaks before the compressor. Limiters are pretty inaudible if used lightly, but they give your mix more headroom. Also parallel compress the vocals. It will give them weight so that they feel loud, but don’t raise the peak level. Those are some of the main things I’d suggest.
Can anyone suggest me, what should I purchase a heavy 32gb Ram intel i9 12th gen windows pc/laptop or MacBook pro M1 pro 32gb Ram laptop for my heavy music production and mixing mastering projects ? Please help me 🙏🏽
@@dudukossi I’m curious how loud those other other tracks are in terms of LUFS.. if they are around -8 LUFS then you can try to push your limiter a little harder or use a soft clipper before the limiter. But a lot of the streaming sites like Spotify and Apple Music will turn everything down to around -14 LUFS anyway. I usually aim for -10 LUFS and when I play my songs back on Spotify they are just as loud as top industry songs
@@dudukossi yeah -4 LUFS.. that’s pretty loud lol.. not sure in todays world of streaming it needs to be that loud. But utilizing EQ and soft clipping during the mixing stage will definitely help you gain more headroom so that you can make your master louder at the end
The whole mixer isn’t in mono. Only the drums like the kick, 808, and snare are. If I were to scroll right or expand the mixer you’d see more mixer tracks other than just the drums that are in purple.
Bro you dont even play the music first then apply the EQ you just say add eq boost at 2k but that is not how, you could play the song and give it what it actually needs, sorry I tune out.
@@mixwithjerry Don't listen to him man. I deeply appreciate you taking out time to share these tutorials. They are very easy to understand and are highly valuable. My mixes are way better because of you. Most people on RU-vid rush through their videos and teach at a professional standard but you make it clear as day. God bless you
