      No actual, this is real. White noice adds SO much to the drop. Trust me, Your listener's focus is shifted to the white noise, and you can do intresting thigs with that. Personally, I like to add a bit of white noise when my claps play, add a lot.

    • @SOKRVT
      @SOKRVT 7 років тому +33

      It's better to keep the lessons more on the creative side, than technical. Either way, we can learn from him by observing his EQ moves, etc. I already learned a ton and improved dramatically by just observing his settings. It's more important to educate us on the creative side of things, like he did with melody, bassline and generally how to make an impact with your drop. He's too good on the arrangement that he needs little things on the mastering. Try his settings and just use a simple compressor on the master, with simple limiter.

    • @thesnowleopard66

      mixing is when it is important. focus on mixing before mastering. a master cannot fix any problems! mastering only enhances and adds the final touch to the track. the mixing, eqing, and compression is important! i am into edm and i do mixing and mastering too. i have learned that good eq and good compression is key. i will give you one tip: try OTT compressor, it is really good

      @generalq8933 7 років тому +7

      Nikola Ristic I didn't say it has no impact. But it's not significant in contrast to the difference your composing,soundesign and mixing skills will make. In the hands of a good producer 99% of all people that listens to music won't be able to tell the difference between a 200$ plugin and a free one
