This sounds utterly horrible to me. There is no feeling, no emotion, no substance, no depth, no content.
sounds like made in 3,5 minutes ;)
I respect your opinion. Before diving deeper into production, I learned jazz piano with a jazz teacher. When I showed him some harder EDM, he hated it too. 😂
Thank u so much for making this video that will confuse beginner producers even ore and stop them from saturating music production even further. Thank u. 😂
What's so confusing about this? 😄
nice
so glad more people are talking about this, the master doesn't control everything...
Does your templates include walkthroughs/video course?
Hey, no, there's no video course. The template is just an Ableton project file. There's only a video on the page to show what the project file consists of. You'll see some techniques in the templates that I do in my UA-cam videos, though (clipping, layering, etc.).
The louder the volume, the less dynamic the sound can be, sometimes the transients suffer, I like to keep it healthy around -16dBFS with the peaks at around -8dBFS, because a digital system has a theoretical limit and signal to noise ratio, depending on the sampling rate you choose to work with, so pro-loudness, I used to be one of them, but now, I favor quality and control full time
I personally love big dynamics but for dance music and club music creating a compact waveform is necessary to keep that crowd alive. IMO.
Wow!
Very good but if you're having to make massive cuts on your mixbus or Masterbus EQ then you've got a bigger problem in the instruments somewhere. Find the harsh frequencies on the individual instruments, make the eq cuts there. Then you can boost your mids on the mixbus or master in no fear of introducing those ear piercing 2k...4k frequencies. Fix the issue in the source signal, not the mix or master chain. 🤘🏻
Respectfully, this is not always true due to the way that frequencies can affect one another. Get as close as you can in the mix but don't be afraid to make adjustments on the master.
@richcrawford6123 totally agree, small moves on the mixbus or master all good.
Aye. For some genres of modern music sure. -4. OK go for it. But we really need to bring dynamics back to music.
quick and to the point... instant sub !
Loudness on digital streaming era is a mistake. Just add a true peak limiter and run your music around - 16lufs. More than this and streaming media will push everything down
Hey, thanks for the input. This is what I did in the past, and then I compared my loudness to Madeon's tracks on Spotify, and they were much louder. That's why I don't trust Spotify's equal loudness algorithm anymore. 😂
@AYJINPLATES trust me. It's working. Madeon is louder because he doesn't push everything loud.
I'd say 14 LUFS but yeah certainly not 4.4...
@@juniorsilvabroadcastlol no
Your videos are great! Short, simple and very helpful!
What are the example tracks playing?
All of the tracks for my videos are made by me, though I use Splice samples for the Melodic Techno, Psy-Trance and Midtempo ones.
But if we want the mix to sound as loud as possible what do we do?
Identify the channels with the highest peaks and limit/clip them. A too-loud sub-bass also eats up lots of headroom. You can also produce a track into a finished master chain with a predetermined LUFS goal and see which new added elements kill your limiter. :) Check out my vid: 'This Technique Gave Me PRO Loudness'.
@@AYJINPLATES ty bro
Bro this song goes hard af
Don’t clip pads or long sustained notes (distortion will be ultra fucked). Compress or limit instead. Nice vid brah
If you have music at -4 l u f s or even -5 or - 6 or - 7 it is completely devoid of any Dynamics and sounds like s**** . noobs mistake
Thanks for making this
Trackspacer for sidechaining
Trackspacer is great for vocals and synths, but lacks precise curve control for kick-bass sidechaining, in my opinion.
Clear and concise video... Thanks for keeping it short (my ADHD attentionspan loves you!)
Really, boasting a -4,5 LUFS loudness is a sign of mental illness or complete misunderstanding, not of an achievement in music mixing. Hope viewers get this message clearly.
“Struggling to achieve loudness in your masters?” Find a real job
Really great video! Please make more like this!
Thank you! I will!
I've literally finished every track that I started ever since I stopped making music
Don’t stop, you have potential
My mix is 0dbfs so haha fuck you, I'm 100x pro
AI Generated, no actualy content related to the title - like seriously, where are your actual life lessons on finishing tracks?
Hey, I just wrote a comment down below, clarifying some things. I write the script myself and improve only grammar and flow with AI. Unfinished tracks come from: 1. Not knowing how to proceed 2. Not being able to implement the idea. This video shows you how to build and finish the full track from nothing, starting with the drop. It's the best way because in my experience, drops "make" the track and are the most difficult part of a song to implement. I finished more tracks when starting with the drop first, than starting with any other part of the song. But I agree that this video doesn't show you how to implement the idea, which would take a full masterclass with several hours and is the hardcore part of music production. If you can implement your ideas and know what to build next (drop->intro->build->transitions), then you can finish tracks. This is my life lesson. Thanks for watching and the feedback.
This totally tells you how... Just not as in-depth.. But still helps.
Instantly disliked
I have 100 unfinished
Me too probably, but it's part of the process. 😄
low effort shit
nice but the title is AI'd, the voice is AI'd & now idk if the tips/writing are generated too... just be yourself dawg
The content is not AI generated, I write a script myself and then improve it a little with AI (grammar and flow). AI doesn't know anything about music production, it can only generate definitions for terms that are defined on the internet. I use an AI voice, because I have a strong German accent, which I believe people hate more than AI generated voices haha. But I fully understand if people dislike AI voices. The description is a summary of my script with AI yes, nobody reads it anyway. The titles are not AI'd, AI didn't give me good suggestions here yet. Thanks for the feedback.
help, i understand distortion but i sound very not PRO. i even wiped my ass with professional toilet paper, but it doesn't help :'(
Lad deine Lieblingstracks in Ableton und referenzier sie mal ganz nah an deine eigenen Mixdowns, das hilft schon richtig viel. Hab mal so reingehört, z.B. Mogul oder Kaytranada passen zu deinen Songs.😄
@@AYJINPLATES eig war das nur n kleiner Joke darüber, dass du überall PRO dranschreibst^^ Aber ich werd mir die Musik mal anhören
Noob 🧐❌ Pro 😎✅🔥🔥🔥 👈👈👈👈

This is the exact UA-cam channel that I needed
:0 great video, very illuminating!
Thanks a lot!
stay at it ...day will come
Next time, crank the background music up louder to accentuate your point.
what is the best clipper for dynamics, not color?
I use StandardCLIP because of its graphical representation (also used by Pegboard Nerds). I haven't tried other clippers, but I recommend choosing one with a graphical interface so you can visually monitor the peaks. If you want to minimize coloration or saturation, you should use hard clip mode, but clippers always add color to the sound. For peak handling without adding coloration, I'd recommend using a limiter like Invisible Limiter or FabFilter.
@ thanks
Just my opinion, if clipped lightly, Schwabe Gold Clip can be clean. Conversely push it harder and it'll add some grit.
Clipper and Dynamics basically the oposit - the more you clip, the less dynamics you have - use clipper? Yes, but with caution
Best clipper for dynamics is no clipper, obv.
Mixing engineers dont actually think of the equal louness curve they just use their ears
i HOPE ONE DAY i CAN WATCH A VIDEO LIKE THIS && ACTUALLY ABSORB THE TIPS,RATHER THAN GET FRUSTERATED BECAUSE iM JUST NOT THAT SKILLED TO UNDERSTAND ALL THIS.
stay at it ...day will come
It took me 10 years to become 'good,' which is an insane amount of time. There’s more information out there now than ever before. Stay at it and keep learning. You’ll get there. 🙏
terrible
New Sub I love the style!!!
Great video. Short, easy to understand, makes you feel inside a briefing for a stealth mission. The songs showcased sound good and you even have experience making uk hardcore. Subbing feels like an investment lmao
nice video man
The louder you turn it up, the less dynamic the signal becomes and the transients end up suffering. I boycott the "pro-loudness" narrative.
I agree, but on SoundCloud, when you skip between tracks, louder ones often sound better. On Spotify, I feel that there's still a difference between louder tracks, even though Spotify levels them down. In the end, everyone has to decide for themselves, but the pros I listen to usually aim for loudness, even if their tracks are worse in a fair comparison with quieter ones.
I'm with Henry here, Louder is not better, especially on your Master. I go -1dBFS at -10 LUFS for my Masters and when uploading, the Algorythm of the streamingservice changes it anyway and always different, so it has to sound good on all systems.
The people who boycott pro loudness are ones who cant achieve the same result...2012 tracks still sound same in loudness
@@malhar4298 .. well, I do not boycott it, you do you .. for me, I am one of the weird guys that likes dynamics in his masters 😉
@@malhar4298 What do you mean by "can't achieve the same result"? I can guarantee you that I know how to master loud, but it just doesn't punch in comparison to a dynamic master. It's simply not the same kind of fun on a bigger sound system.
nice and straight to the point
doesnt linear phase EQ introduce pre ringing?
Yes, I’ve read about that too, but to be honest, I don’t hear any negative impact on the mix when using a linear phase EQ. I actually picked up this linear phase cut technique from Monstercat artists like Ellis and Rival, so I don’t think it’s problematic if the pros are using it.
@@AYJINPLATES yeah, I dont really hear it ever either, but thats maybe just my shitty monitoring situation
Yeah it can make your low end muddy, plus sharp EQ cuts to sub bass don't actually increase headroom, it's been debunked.
the quality of this video is very good and very attention grabbing. subscribed, im hoping to watch more.
