Welcome to part 31 of my "Logic Pro 11 Essentials" course! In this video I cover the following: 1. How to use the Mastering Assignment on the Stereo Output. 2. How to add stereo width and use a Correlation Meter. 3. What are LUFS, what are loudness standards for mastering and how to monitor loudness. 4. How to master a finished mix using Mastering Assistant.

I must say: Out of the hundreds of "how-to Logic" channels, your productions I like the best! It's to the point, well spoken, well researched and produced on a professional level. Really well done! Cheers, Roland
Josh thank you so much for another great video! right on time :) your lp11 essential course is incredible, thank you so much for your hard work! Is it preferable to use monitor speakers or headphones when using the mastering assistant? And which volume level should I listen at when doing so?
I use monitors, but reference on headphones. So I'll make sure to listen through on both. Mastering is one of the few times where I actually listen pretty loudly. Due to equal loudness curves, you'll find the mix balance can change a bit depending on the volume level. So I listen at low levels, mid levels and loud levels and shoot for what sounds best over all. I also ref all my masters on Apple AirPods, on a mono portable speaker, and of course the old car test.
