    Thank you for this. Could it be that the mastering tool distorts the piece when shared to music? In any case, it seems that there is a terrible distortion when I use the mastering tool.

    • @gengraded
      @gengraded 6 місяців тому +1

      I have had the same experience. My advice is to turn down your tracks to something like -8db and when bouncing the track turn normalizing on and it will the boost the signal upon bounce. That has cleaned up my issues with distortion so far.

  • @wanmorgan
    @wanmorgan 3 місяці тому

    Hi, thanks for the great video. Quick question please. Once you're happy with the mastering is it then a case of bouncing down to a WAV as normal to upload to your distribution company ?

    • @shadrickchimanga4261
      @shadrickchimanga4261 2 місяці тому

      Play around with the settings, make sure it’s not clipping, after that you’re all good to export it in any file (WAV or MP3)

    If you’re using a bunch of softsynths in addition to vocals and acoustic instruments, is it necessary to freeze the MIDI tracks first to convert them to an audio file before mastering?

    • @TomasGeorge
      @TomasGeorge  7 місяців тому +1

      Thanks, I’m glad you’ve enjoyed this video. In terms of your question, have you checked to see that your plugins are available for your operating system? You may need to update them if you’ve updated your Mac.You could also try opening Logic Pro in Rosetta if these are plugins designed for intel Macs and you’re using a silicon Mac. I hope this helps

      Ah okay. I recommend checking the manufacturer’s site to see if there are any newer versions of the plugins or contact their support to see if they can help with this issue.

    As far as I understand, there's no need to mix down two two tracks, you can just master the full multitrack mix. So much easier to go back and change stuff.

      @@jlguler1 It's easy to fade using automation on the master out too. No need to mix down to two tracks if you don't want to.

    I'm using Logic ProX 10.8 on an Intel 2020 iMac machine, and the only setting available to me is CLEAN. But I'll try to find your class and learn more about this. I do have an issue that I would love to send to you to see if you can fix. I'm working on an audio book and I want to get this right. SO please reach out to me, then show me how to do it.
