    • @TheBirdHouse
      @TheBirdHouse 4 роки тому +4

      Jake Sklodowski Not at exact same time. But to wait til all songs are mixed and then master the whole album, song by song, after mixing the record. For cohesion. No way to master separate songs at the same time.

I bring them all to one 19-track mastering session, and do the process explained in this video for each track separately... the purpose of having them altogether in one session is solely to hear them side by side then. You don't actually apply anything to all 19 tracks at once, correct? Thanks again!

    Dude, you're actually a legend. I learned a lot from this, and mastering has gone from a black art to something I actually have some concept of. I'm going to remaster some of my early home-recordings (which were mostly mixed in Audacity and not even mastered), to see if I can breathe new life into them.

    I rarely use a multimeter for anything, but for some reason, it did work for this particular pop track I was working on. I watched you to get some ideas on how to space my track out. Luckily, I understand how thresh, ratio, etc. because I would've been lost! You didn't really explain it too well [empathetically, I imagined being in college for the first time and hearing you explain this, would've confused me] I get your concept, but it is kind of... dry, because truthfully, there was nothing done to 'make the song sound better' you added an exciter at 5.9kHz, just to add a multimeter, which runs off into the highs at 7.9kHz, that you also boosted at 5.9kHz. Suggestion. I know this is a 'Stock Plugins' video, and you did a decent job, but look into a spectrum enhancer. This way you won't need to 'excite' one frequency, you can knock out the whole spectrum of the song and use m/s; this may save you at least 2 plug-ins.

      Once you have the discipline to work with original commercial reference tracks, mastering your own stuff might work out but most times it doesn't. Having someone else hear your stuff with fresh ears and with a reference directive of your choice, in my view, is the better option. ....and yes, it may cost but it will be worth it.
