A is more balanced and reserved - B is more louder in Low Mid and Mid a little saturated -> B is Logic Mastering Assistent

@NoizeLondon 8 месяцев назад

You sir have a great ear ;)

@trepap. 8 месяцев назад

I think B is your chain. It releases the track smoother than the first one, and has a tad more depth. Pretty darn similar though.. I'm impressed.

@lucas_fpro 8 месяцев назад

I think too, B seems to be the chain !

@rikisul 8 месяцев назад

Thank You for the video I’m a beginner waiting to get my MacBook Pro then logic just watching and learning.

@busliferecords5815 8 месяцев назад

I agree with the comment below, I reckon your chain is B. All in all im very very shocked by what Apple/Logic have created, it will help so many learners to achieve broadcast quality results. Ive just used it on a pro premaster for an EP that I have sent to be mastered and cant wait to do the A/B comparison on that. Thanks for the video. Lee (please tell us soon which is which)

@XDosShane 9 месяцев назад

B is the custom chain for sure

@NoizeLondon 8 месяцев назад

What makes you say that?

@XDosShane 8 месяцев назад

@@NoizeLondon there’s an organic richness to B, the low end especially gave it away for me. So am I right? 😅

@tinman2420 5 месяцев назад

I felt A was a little tighter, less width. My initial impact was that i liked A more. B seemed to be a little less controlled, the stereo field was almost too wide- and something dragged the vibe down a touch, A had a drop more lemon zest.

@watchboombox 4 месяца назад

Nothing like a bit of citrus 🍊

@thomascaldicott1891 9 месяцев назад

B seems more open and organic but both very similar. Which is which?

@charliedalencour5141 7 месяцев назад

kinda wish they'd tell us which is A or B so we can assess how useful the tool could be. Either way I think A sounds better. B is pushing a lot but A feels like a normal track if that makes sense. Mastering shouldn't be awfully noticeable, it should be an invisible push, and A to me feels like a push rather than B which is a bit of a shove in my opinion.

@zwsh89 8 месяцев назад

I could tell his was b right away. I’ve noticed Logics width feature doesn’t just push the sides out farther, it’s spreads the middle. When he was playing with that towards the end of the tutorial, I noticed the piano become unfocused and bouncing around from side to side, and i noticed that in A as well, where in B, everything was focused and had a place in the stereo field, actual depth in terms of feeling instruments move closer and farther from you. A human definitely crafted that.

@NoizeLondon 8 месяцев назад

Yes the key component to listen to is the piano here - Logic doesn't do a great job of controlling it or recognising it as a different instrument which human would of course... maybe that's something that they will update it with

I keep hearing about this mastering assistant and it sucks that I don't have a computer that's capable of running logic Pro 10.8. I wish I could try it

@MarkYeeDaMajor 8 месяцев назад

I got the last of the intel iMacs before they got rid of them. 2020 27" iMac and I can run the latest Mac OS to run Logic Pro 10.8. I tried out the new mastering assistant but since I don't have the newer M1Silicon Macs I don't get all the features. Only 1 preset "Clean" so I'm just sticking to Ozone for my master assistant with tons more features.

@ALTN8NRG 8 месяцев назад

I’m pretty impressed with Logic’s results.

@NoizeLondon 8 месяцев назад

Yeah I thought so too - have you tried it out yet?

@musicandmusic9796 8 месяцев назад

I tried logic mastering and it’s really good - external plugins will start to fade slowly, it’s given and just a matter of time

@NoizeLondon 8 месяцев назад

Have you tried combining the two?

@musicandmusic9796 8 месяцев назад

@@NoizeLondon I tried it for a short few min. to see how it works and the result was good. I think I like the convenience. As for plugins I have iztope advance and other and yes it works as well. I just would like the plugins to think for me and me concentrate on music creation.

@dezbanks4051 7 месяцев назад

I think it’s at its best working over a premix with other vest’s implemented.

@dezbanks4051 7 месяцев назад

It’s surgical and pragmatic. You need to mix in the life before using it imo.

@michakaszkowiak1804 8 месяцев назад

Hello, unfortunately, this Assistant does not work with analog equipment and the I/O inputs introduce noise and significantly amplifies the signal, so be careful. Maybe someone has a solution to this problem ? Not being able to analyze the material with an external compressor on I/O causes silence.

@NoizeLondon 8 месяцев назад

I would recommend using your analog gear prior to the mastering assistant and then using this to 'finish' things off :)

@lieutenantpepper2734 8 месяцев назад

I prefer A as is more thin and the sound doesn't seem to be out of place everthing is in harmony in the B masteribg some sounds do stand out too much. That piano sounds loud.

@NoizeLondon 8 месяцев назад

I agree ;)

@Karll541 8 месяцев назад

I like A. Clearer to me. Though I'm listening on a tablet

@NoizeLondon 8 месяцев назад

Where most people listen to music these days eh

@loranifamily 8 месяцев назад

A is lacking a bit of clarity that B offers. A is Logic Pro?

@stefankarlsson8215 8 месяцев назад

@AntonioBastos 9 месяцев назад

@ItsPomodoro 8 месяцев назад

B sounds fuller. A more airy. Both could be custom, or Logic.

@alanpassmore2574 8 месяцев назад

Louder is not always better. Dynamics are what create the emotion. Slamming the signal becomes tiring very quickly. Just my personal opinion.

@NoizeLondon 8 месяцев назад

Yes I agree - it depends on the genre and what the client wants - what LUFS do you tend to aim for when working?

Yours is B? Gotta say that this new LPX update has some great new features tho.

@NoizeLondon 8 месяцев назад

Yeah man it's dope!!

@CAV3DIV3R 8 месяцев назад

Giving people a knob called "Loudness" is a recipe for disaster 🤣I can pretty confidently guess B is the Mastering Assistant because we had a sense of its character from the tutorial. But regardless, I personally prefer A here because it has a more spacious midrange and is the kind of thing you can really crank without it becoming harsh.

@NoizeLondon 8 месяцев назад

Also totally with you on the loudness dial haha
