    That track sounds just like it was done by Radiohead. Especially the guys voice. It was so close to Thom Yorke's voice.

    I've been mastering for about 18 years. It was something that basically fell into my lap and isn't my primary career, but I adore it as a semi-professional hobby. I've never read a book on the subject, met another mastering engineer, or even been in a formal mastering suite (besides my own). What's great about this video is this is almost exactly my process. But, man, was that a hard-won process of trial and error to get where I am today. A lot of error. 😄 One thing I've learned, you can make a good mix great,and a great mix stellar, but you can't make a bad mix good.

    • @RocknRollkat
      @RocknRollkat Рік тому

      ....about 'bad' mixes........
      It would be good if people just provided raw tracks, no fx, etc., no attempt at 'mixing'.
      Trying to 'fix a mix' is usually a problem.
      Then "mastering" becomes part of the proper mix.

    • @DigitalJMusic
      @DigitalJMusic 5 років тому +2

      Classical education will give you almost everything, institutes can bring a part of it but will not teach you everything you should know in most occasions.
      i'm not saying it's bad but be aware of this because i notice this issue in amsterdam which is more about money then education in my opinion

    • @dangerale
      @dangerale 5 років тому +2

      I think what you're referring to is actually music technology -this is a more generalised education course. Audio engineering concerns with specified programming, digital signal processing, circuits, electricity, etc. It's like electrical engineering with a focus on audio signal. Most mastering 'engineers' are not 'audio engineers' but find themselves in these positions due experience working in the studio and usually have an ear for detail.

    So true what Joe Lambert says at 1:49 "I just listen to the song and I just try to react". As soon as you react to something in a bad way, that's a red flag for diving into the mix. I use this process every time I mix and master and it has really helped me a lot. // FLX

    This track is a classic example of why M/S is such a valuable tool. Within the 1st minute he's monkeying around with global HPFs, etc. A filter at 120Hz on the SIDE of the mix would've open it up appreciably without messing with the relationship of voice to instrumentation.
