i have returned to this video time and time again, as my guide to base certain decisions on. even on a budget and recording analog modular to ableton, the concepts have helped shape how i approach mastering self-released ep's and the like. today, i came to be reminded of the 30hz-17.8khz rule of thumb, cause i'm picking up a cassette deck and it's response is 25hz-19khz whereas my previous was 20hz-17khz, and tho a lot of what i've taken from this vid becomes second intuitive nature, it always helps to rewatch. would love to send some material thru your machines some day.
I hate it when mastering engineers say that VST Mastering Plugins are 'shit'. Not everyone has access (or money to buy) multiple analog compressors and Studer tape machines. They maybe 'shit' compared to your expensive and 'rare' analog gear but none of that really matters nowadays since a majority of the listeners out there use shitty, cheap ear-buds and sound sources in the end anyways. I understand what he is saying, and he is, of course, correct. I just don't agree that VST Mastering Plugins (such as Ozone5 Advanced) are "shit". I completely disagree. They are NOT PERFECT but they are great in terms of ease of use, cost and functionality. If you know what you're doing... of course.
trsk, as scott just mentioned, we do understand they use hardware but not everyone has the access. Ozone mastering plugin sounds amazing when used correctly (mid/side EQ, etc). To say they sound "shit" is a bit extreme. Babicz is my hero but I would also have to disagree with his statement.
***** You missed the entire point he just made... All you just pointed out is that "those Ozone mastered tracks" don't sound perfect. That doesn't mean they're bad. That's like saying, "ohhh sorry you only got a 90% on your exam. You're inferior to Shing Yang over there who got 100% and thus you have no real value"... I'm sorry, but that's just not true. You can still get A grade sounding music with only using plug-ins, and many of the best mixing and mastering engineers in the world do exactly that.
Alter MEGA Video...vielen, vielen Dank für den Upload ! ! ! Dieser Babicz ist aber auch'n Killer. Für jeden der ektr.Musik macht ist dieses Video Pflicht.
Das analog reverb is geil... Hab sowas in einer etwas anderen art mal in einem Mönchskloster gesehen. Das war ein großer zylindrischer Raum in einem Turm. Die Mönche haben gesagt, die stellen sich da rein und singen sich in trance.....echt faszinierend.
3:00 dont take his words seriously.dont throw away those plugins.what he means is that the tracks he is intended to master shall not be limited before theyre sent to him.from my point of view it is something normal that should not be mentioned again .otherwise his statement might be confusing for beginners!
I fuckin love you! mach bitte einfach weiter, dein scheiss ist heilig! *höhen raus! ein gehör schreit u bereitet mir schmerzen in jedem club, in jedem set, in (fast) jedem track. ich hab mal gelesen, mit 20 geht das weg, ich bin fast 40 u nichts geht weg LOBVE PEACE & TECHNO TO YA FELLA ♫♥♫
Find er übertreibt ganz schön was premixes mit Limitern und Buscompressoren angeht, es gibt dutzende wirklich top engineers (Grammy Gewinner) wie z.B. Pensado oder Tony M. welche ihre mixe immer mit compressor und leichtem limiting zum mastering senden, Und diese Produkte haben international ein ganz anderen Wert als Tatort soundtracks lol
Gnaz ehrlich wenn du sagst alle Aufnahmen hier sind schlecht hast du absulut keine Ahnung von Musik. Robert Babicz ist einer der wenigen Menschen die auch heute noch Analoge Produkte herstellt und somit einer der wenigen die Technomusik noch versteht.
