🟪 What are the best Audio Levels For UA-cam? - We Tested! ua-cam.com/video/lhbQfUMykw0/v-deo.html
Fantastic overview! Very well-scripted. Great job my man!
Many thanks for your kind words!!!
Just another great video! I just got asked to upload some music to SoundCloud, which I have never done, so I wanted to get a quick crash course on Streamliner. You gave it to me in an easy to understand video with no BS. Thanks!
Ha! Happy to see it helped you :-)
Finally I'll stop export, put the sound on youtube, see how it sound... Do it again, and again...
really great tutorial
Thanks for the kind words!
Finally!!!🎉🎉🎉 Have a nice day😉
I will! Enjoy watching :-)
White Noise Studio tank you, excellent explanation!
Thanks for the kind words, here to help!!
Your videos are excellent thank you!
Thanks! Hope they are helpful as well :-)
@@whitenoisestudio Indeed so. I am relatively new at DAWs and AD interfaces. Another subject of interest is recording levels (voice for instance). I have seen/read conflicting opinions on this.
Hey! Just only now saw your comment.
Levels is up for debate, because it really depends on how dynamic you are.
With a normal audio interface It basically comes down as as loud as possible without getting any clipping because that will give the least noise, if you dial that gain boost on your interface.
Always leave a couple of dBs for headroom if possible, but that is also you can do in mixing.
Avoid that clipping in anycase, that is hard to fix of you have it.
There are exceptions to all of this, and can also depend on which hardware you use etc. but as a rule of thumb I would do what I typed above.
@@whitenoisestudio Right. I figured that out. It’s a bit tricky with voice as there is normal speaking level but if you go loud, even momentarily, it can clip. On the one hand you want to speak at an even volume and on the other you want to speak naturally and uninhibited. Mic technique comes in here as well I suppose.
This is the channel you're looking for when it comes to audio.
Thanks man, much appreciated! :-)
When you press match with the plugin on the master channnel the plugin matches your track to whatever site you've selected...once it has matched it..can you export from your daw and the level remains or am I wrong?
Thankyou very much.... for Help... I am a music composer ... but have not studied deep and deep, and have a lot of trouble loading on certain platforms.....
Hope this plugin helps you out!
Great video! How do you compare it to Mastering the mix Reference or Levels? Are they pretty much alike, or complementary? cheers
It’s really different. The focus of streamliner is to show how your mix sound on all the different streaming platform with all of their compression codecs.
So does this plugin affect your sound in any way? It seemed like pressing ‘match’ makes the loudness comparable to the reference track but does it actually change the volume or is it just to show you what your track should sound like?
No its a reference tool to check how it performs on the several platforms. It's not even included in the export path.
That was my original question. It lets you hear what your track will sound like on all streaming platforms and you can use reference tracks and A/B your mix to get it sounding similar. Great plugin for sure because now I know when I put my song on Tidal, Spotify. UA-cam etc. exactly what it will sound like once they get it.
thanks for the video, can you explain what do we need to do eventually ?
if i have a mix of a song should i adjust the LUFS on the mastering for each platform ? how to do that without changing the sound and dynamic of the song ? lets say i have the optimal master for EDM music on -8 LUFS and it sounds to me with the right dynemics and density with the settings on the clipper and maximiser but for youtube i need to target for -14 LUFS, wont the sound and dynamic(density) of the song changes ?(even before going to youtube codec). or its all a matter of compromise ?
Its practically impossible to make a mix for every platform individually, because most online distributors will take 1 master and distribute those to all platforms. Besides that, master to have it sound good. If that's -8 Lufs, then its -8 Lufs. -14Lufs can be too dynamic for a lot of music styles if you aim for that. Master for sound and andjust the output ceiling to match the most streaming platforms, spotify advices -2dB ceiling truepeak for loud masters.
Itunes will do -1, so that -2 would be a good thing to apply.
All those streaming platforms will normalize the loudness themselves anyway. You can make seperate masters when you als upload to for instance beatport, but for streaming, no.
@@whitenoisestudio Thanks for the detailed info, very helpful ! like your channel and the way you present stuff 👌
How does Streamliner compare to ADPTR AUDIO AB?
Do you export with this plugin engaged or should it be off?
If I recall correctly it will be bypassed during export automatically. But check to be sure, i use it on a different bus than my export bus.
@@whitenoisestudio thank you, I’ll check that out
I just got this for $11 using a PA voucher, but, TBH, I'm not sure how (practically ) to use it. Does it mean I have to do a mix to cater for every streaming platform? As a composer, the whole production/referencing/mastering side seems such a 'can of worms' I often just ignore it (though I do understand the need for good mixing and mastering). Music's a hobby, so it's not like anyone complains if i make a bad mix, but I'd like to understand more about what I really need to know about the art of 'presentation'/distribution. I think I need to watch this about 10 times to understand it all, lol. Your vids are so helpful. Thanks.
Hey there!
Most distributing sites use 1 master for every streaming platform, so even if you want to make a master for every platform, its not possible. Streamliner is good to get an idea of how your mix will sound on every onbe of those platforms. And we're honest, the differences arent that big at all ( if you can even hear them) when using the higher qialities.
Is it a major improvement over Youlean Meter?
Different tools. Streamliner is mostly to check how different compression algorithms will affect your mix.
Hello: I’ve just mixed a project for berklee College of music, advanced Mixing and Mastering, in Pro, Tools.
I placed the ADAPTR STREAMLINER on the Master fader only. Set it to major platforms, then under the reference menu, set it to the Foo Fighters song and clicked on match.. the mix sounded incredible. And as long as I was listening to the actual mix, I had the loudness level of -14 LUFS that I was looking for.
However, when bouncing the track, the Streamliner settings did not bounce with it. I had a very low volume mix. I even tried printing the mix onto a new track using the Streamliner, and the same thing happened for some reason when exporting my session into a stereo track theADAPTR Streamliner settings simply don’t go with it.
Please help me to fix this problem and I appreciate any help you can give me I’m your newest subscriber.
Don't mix for -14Lufs, mix for how it sounds best on whatever loudness that is.
Streamliner is a comparison tool so you know how it translates on streaming platforms and will because of that never be in the export cycle.
Probably th eonly thing you need to do is add a limiter on the masterbus and increase loudness to have it sound ''good''.
Also, proably, when you upload your song on multiple streaming platforms, it will sound great again, because it did when you compared with streamliner.
So this plugin would go on indie track last after all mastering plugins and before routing to master buss?
This plugin should be the very last plugin in your signal chain yes. That way you can monitor how your mix sounds on the several platforms.
@@whitenoisestudio ok...im new to mastering my own stuff and am having trouble fuguring out what plugins go where. I thinking I saw that the only plugins that go on master fader are for analyzing right?
Well, yes and no. Depends on what you want to analyze and where in the signal chain you want to monitor. Do you want to analyze before the limiter, or just the eintire master etc.
Think of the signal chain as , well, a chain of plugins in order of which needs to do what. There isnt a ''must do'' order of plugins , it's mostly a common logical use of which one goes where.
@@whitenoisestudio well I presume I would want the entire mix when considering the streaming services but maybe I'm wrong in this case no? Do most ppl tend to lean toward monitoring before limiting?
No you presumed correctly. The streamliner is at teh end of course, but you can use other measuring tool somewhere down the signal chain to see how the audio is there like with for instance low end rumble etc. A lot of eq plugin also come with an analyzer, so that's a win win when you use one in teh mastering chain.
How does this differ from youlean?
in essence, this is not a loudness meter. Watch the video.
ADPTR Streamliner is same as ADPTR AUDIO Metric AB?
Nope! Streamliner is made to compare how your audio translates on the various streaming platforms + codecs, metric A/B is mostly a tool where you can reference your mix to other mixes.
@@whitenoisestudio but I see A/B is included in this plugin so I thought this plugin as added metric A/B into this plugin, I think its not right? whats your thought.
@@whitenoisestudio Since this tool has A/B included I thought metric A/B is included in this tool, please share your thoughts.
Why don't these programs ever include settings for TV Broadcasting?
Different target audience. Pros who work in broadcast have other tools. Broadcast also doesn’t require compressed formats. R128 is standard which is -23 Lufs averaged with some xtra requirements.
@@whitenoisestudio Thanks for your explanation. Much appreciated!
@@ctatrains Graag gedaan!
where is the country setting mmmm have folk forgotten country :)
? Don’t understand what you mean.
It's insane how much musicians, producers and artists have to do just to get their music out, on top of creating everything else you have to worry about s*** like this. SMH.
No you don’t
@@whitenoisestudio What do you mean? Apparently this is critical to abiding by dsp's rules.
Far from. It’s a tool to help and nice to have if you understand. But it’s just that, a tool.
