Adel Acha November 8, 2024 at 9:43 PM

alfred hvad i alverden foregår der

It would have been incredibly useful watching also at least one master on a less "perfect" mix like the ones he mentions coming from indie artists
Ellias Meinel December 5, 2023 at 8:08 PM

I feel like YouTube tutorials made you guys think that there has to be a secret plug-in… In reality it‘s: your ear, your room, your experience > the tools that you use.
Vinni Rose October 16, 2023 at 11:07 AM

nobody wants to reveal their best pluggins or best techniques, we all have Pro Q3 and Izotope Maximizer, thanks anyway for your words. If mastering was only those 2 pluggins anyone could master dua lipa´s tracks. I am sure you´ve done much much more to it than just that.
Gerson Longoria December 20, 2023 at 8:38 PM

I think he actually used those plugins. But the mix was already a semi-mastered squashed mix. I'm sure he doesn't do this with raw dynamic mixes.

love this guy!

Stop kvetching. We're paying for this. Just show some techniques already.
garrett uribe February 12, 2023 at 7:13 AM

Then when he does play audio samples (for two microseconds) he talks over them.
Vaughn vturner8757@gmail.com December 28, 2022 at 10:47 PM

I love the way he puts everything. It is so easy to get caught up in the "Level lie", ego, and other technicalities instead of just doing what is necessary for the vibe and energy of the record... Quality over Level
Kenny Silvertone November 27, 2022 at 3:18 AM

So. Pro Q3 1dB bump at around 100 and Ozone Maximizer, charge $250 ... azum

Es verdad que te quedas pensando en como hace las cosas y si quizá hace menos de lo que podría hacer, pero si es muy interesante su filosofía, que fue creando a base de su exoperiencia y dice muchas verdades, esta sesión mas que como aprender a masterizasr, la veo como, aprender a entender el mastering en la industria musical hoy en día, creo que hay cosas muy importantes para aprender, eso si, si quieres aprender a masterizar realmente in the box, este no es tu video.

This is awesome, thank you!

These videos are so educational, refreshing, and inspiring!
