In this video I simulate what a mastering engineer would do to a mix. Of course, a true ME will use far more advanced tools than Ozone to do so, but I thought it would be nice to discuss what they look for and how a mix can be transformed. Disclaimer, I'm not a mastering engineer, I don't...

Hi gang, This is an attempt at mastering while explaining the process and using only Samplitude plugins.. Tell me what you think ! (remember I'm not a ME ! ;) My main missing things are LUFS metering M/S processing Having long peak holds on the spectrum analyser.

I'm getting close to finishing a lot of my songs and I'm down to just listening through them and putting vocals on the ones I'm happy with. Many years ago I used to love T-racks 24 for mastering but for many reason, it's unusable. What is the cheapest way of achieving what that program did? Is...

Hi I've used a couple of mastering engineers over the years but have been using one more recently over the last year, he is someone I know too. Today Ive just sat down to put a compilation of mastered songs together (level matching them myself). I noticed that the (digital 16bit/mfit24bit)...

I was fooling around with mastering again with some new gear and I took on this little rap snippet. Technically it was not ready to be mastered but I wanted to chomp on it anyway. I also did this with headphones so my reference is probably a little off. What I did EQ wise.. The piano is dark...

Hi I'm a singer songwriter producer...I've had lots of material mastered mainly with the same engineer, but I've had a couple of tracks back over the last year that seem very crushed. I just presumed this was the industry standard but am starting to question the engineer and his ability. I...

Anyone listened to Arcade Fire's Everything Now? I've been surprised to hear how quiet and dynamic this album is. I read it was mastered by Greg Calbi. Last The National's album is even quiter, is old fashion mastering a new trend among alt-rockers?

I recently picked up a Presonus 1818VSL and got back into the recording game. I haven't done anything with my stuff in over 10 years. I used to use SONAR and had fairly decent results. My recordings are pretty close to what things sound like live but whenever I mix something down, it always...

I have a permanent quandary over placement of a master level reverb. My live side wants to put it last, as after all, you don't actually control the reverb of a real environment. So, I am curious, do you all put it after a limiter/maximiser or before?. Cheers, Tony

Hi, I'll try to start learn about SpectraLayers and I'm going to watch some video tutorials and read articles. Anyway, it seems, in a primary view, that the tool was designed mainly for mixing. Is SpactraLayers useful for mastering too? Is it a kind of very advanced Samp's Spectral View? Which...

So I watched a video of this guy taking me through the analog mastering process, but I was wondering... In the video, this guy is mastering for a vinyl record, but say you didn't want to put your album on a vinyl record but instead wanted to put it on CD, how would you do it without using a...
