    Sorry Dre but your June 27th 2020 vid sounds WAY better in every way. I've never found in life doing things the easiest way gives good results. You know I am a big supporter of yours but needed to say this.

      That's crazy I just went and checked it out thanks for the trip down memory lane haha. I def agree that easier isn't always better but the thing is many producers like myself suffer from overthinking/over doing things. Tools like this aren't meant to completely replace a skill but really just take one more extra thing off the plate of those that need it

    I definitely agree with your last point to try this tool and then try it yourself a different way. I think this is a great tool for beginners looking to get their music out before they tackle the mountain of information out there on mastering, but you can save a good chunk of change once you get that skill worked out and even make yourself valuable to other musicians that aren't able to master themselves. Love what you do L.Dre!

    We need a video explaining how an "engineer" would do things vs this, and also the more i dig into "mastering" i found its a lie its like L.Dre said all about mixings as you go and put a soft clipper and Eq on the master and keep it pushing. but idk what yall think?

    • @LDreTheGiant
      @LDreTheGiant  Рік тому +1

      I somewhat agree with you but I do feel mastering engineers serve their purpose too. But when it comes to lofi you can definitely get away with just mixing properly and adding a soft clipper/limiter

  • @sancessounds
    @sancessounds Рік тому +4

    I'd love to compare my mastering to the AI, or to just the EQ / Clipper method.. Mastering is so much more crucial than one might think. It's def a trend now a days to think nothing is needed to be done professionally and it's solely because companies wanna take independent artists money to make them think a product is going to serve your music better than a professional with 20+ years of experience in the field. Sad culture.

    • @LDreTheGiant
      @LDreTheGiant  Рік тому +6

      Respectfully though in todays world it's all about the listener and with genres like lofi having, a high quality master by a professional isn't really necessary. Most people are just passively listening through phone speakers so I can understand if producers would rather use the money they'd spend on mastering on something else like better artwork/animations or running ads or something.

    Damn L.Dre. Huge supporter here (following since the garage days, i buy your packs n stuff) but,…i gotta say, seems like your encouraging a lot of out-sourcing. Need musicians? Hire them. Need mastering? Outsource it. Just saying bruh..Still love your content & to be clear, you’re not saying “this is the way” but, i’d like to see more work put in on your end. Look forward to the next vid👍

    Ok, now I'm confused. I just watched your video comparing your trusty Sennheiser HD600 to the 820s. Now in this video you're not wearing either so what are those and why not wear your 600s? I ask because I have the HD660s and considering the 800s or 820s. My biggest concern is them being out for so many years and buying them and then something comes out this year.

      Decap man lol I just needed a new interface with more inputs and Decap took me down an RME rabbit hole. I have to say there is alot about RME I do prefer over UAD. One of which is I found UAD to be really buggy. I often hat to restart my computer because something was up with it and so far I've had 0 issues w RME
