great video.. one question which may require a whole video on its own, lol. I have no clue what you are doing in the Resonance Filter area. What are you listening for when you choose each dot ?
Great question actually! Yep, it might take a video for a proper explanation. I’ll make one soon. I’ve been behind on posting videos but getting back to it soon
It’s all about that treble! 😂 Believe me, more often than not I’ve sent two almost identical masters and they always pick the one with the boost in the treble. It’s a psychological trick. Again, all comes to personal preferences. Thanks for watching! I truly appreciate it 🙌🏻☺️
Thanks a lot! I’ll pass the compliment to the artist as well. As far as this plugin you can go minimalist and only use this as your mastering chain, most likely, you would have an EQ before to do some work. The only tip is that after you’ve reached the desired final volume you don’t add anything that changes it. This plugin was designed to do all the job by itself, but if you want to add extra stuff that’s fine as well. Just make sure you’re not adding any unnecessary plugins.
ohhh.. and one more question... I have been butchering, i mean making music for over 20 years, and it always happens that my music sounds different on different systems.. there is a mixing tutorial which says that if you nail the mids, your music will sound the same if its on a bluetooth, or phone etc... it looks like he just suggests that you don't jack up the bass frequencies as well as the highs.... i;m not sure how you would do this (maybe just cutting lows and highs ?).. but i think there is more to it than that.. now that i have Masterdesk, i guess i can just see how the result sounds on my different audio systems... if i have confused you .. maybe the question boils down to. "how do i use BX master desk to 'nail the midrange' so that the whole song sounds better...."
Honestly, it comes down to how you’re referencing. I know that there was a before and after getting my VSX headphones. I was skeptical but yeah, they truly work. Other than that it’s up to proper reference in your room at lower levels and knowing how other songs sound there and trying to replicate that. A treated room is an investment we need to prioritize. If not then at least something like VSX works really well. So to your question, I do rely heavily on VSX for mixing and getting everything to translate better.
Something that I don't really understand about the plugins is : which part of the song you have to use for doing this with the plugin ? I read all the documentation, it is not written. The loudness part ? And if you are good in the dynamic range of that part, will that be ok for the rest of the song (breaks for instance) ? Because in my case, I'm in the green part in the loudness part, but two bars later, if you have less elements, it's not in the green area anymore. With Ozone, I think it wants the loudness part of the song in the master assistant. I think the documentation is really missing this point. They should write "plain the loudness part of your song and turn up the volume knob".
You can totally automate the volume for different parts of the master. Or just use it on certain sections or parts of your song. There’s no rules about that for sure. The green is also their visual suggestion, not a hard rule. If it sounds good then is good. I rather trust my ears first.
It is the best explanation of how to use this great master plugin. I have it. In Reaper and Gig Performer I can use the presets, but in other DAWs like Ableton Live they don't show up. And this tutorial helps a lot. Subscribed. Thank you
Realistically that depends on the genre you’re mixing. But if I’m mastering and the mix is too hot I lower the volume of the actual mix. I explain the ideal volume going in on my mastering template video. Before mastering, If I’m mixing I try to leave some headroom for mastering, that’s usually 6 dBs so my meters are normally at -6dBs LUFS with occasional peaks at -3dBs at most. Again, genre dependent. But that’s the rule I try to follow. Hope that answers your question.
Thank you. ✌️
An absolute pleasure! 🙂
Thank you! great explanation of the plugin
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for this clear overview of BX Masterdesk. Always useful! Appreciated.
Glad it was helpful! I definitely need to do one for the masterdesk pro next.
Very good job. Simple, quick explanations. You mastered ( ! ) this clinic well . Merci mon ami !
Truly appreciate it! ☺️🙌🏻
Thanks for the explanation on this plugin good sir 👍🏾 ⭐⭐⭐💪🏾
Any time! I'm glad it was helpful. Thanks for watching!

I would have made the same adjustments except for the treble in the tone control. I would set it 2 clicks counterclockwise from where you set it. 🙂

Excellent work from the start to finish, from the way to the message.
Thank you very, very much!!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great demo and a beautiful song too:). Where do you use this in your mastering chain? Thanks

Subscribed. Thank you
Great to hear! Truly appreciate it!
Thanks the song is boring and annoying but cool tuto very clear and helpful
Glad it helped
That song is 🔥. I had to stop the video and go check out your mix. Good stuff!💪🏽
Truly appreciate it!
Great stuff man! Love this plugin.
Thanks for watching!
Friend, question: How much should the input signal be for this type of plugin to work optimally?

@@ElishaRecords Si, gracias
Mix needs work brother. Close but not their
Thanks for watching! Not sure I understood your comment.
Sounds great to me
You’re a real (jealous) scholar there buddy
Enlighten us with your wisdom!
Damn I wish I could make mixes like that!
You can! It’s a matter of inspiration, patience, and experience. Anyone can! Keep it up!
