Fucking hell this tune is such a banger. It's really refreshing watching a tutorial where I actually want to keep listening to the track repeated. Normally the tunes mastered in tutorials are awful and it's such a struggle to have to listen to that crap over and over as stuff gets explained. Great video. Excellent charisma.
Dude!!! You've increased the quality of my Mastering Tenfold!!! Learning to Record, Mix, and Master on my own has been a daunting trial, and it is videos like this that have made that journey possible. I just finished mastering my EP and I'm just blown away by what I've been able to accomplish. Thanks so much!!!!
@@kronideus_portfolio I hadn't even noticed your request my apologies. If you're still interested here it is... ua-cam.com/play/OLAK5uy_kWbYtYp_MSIviu0pTDJtWSil-oNl1RdEs.html
especially as a beginner producer I have realized that mastering is the hardest part. Mixing is difficult too but doable but mastering is really difficult to do so far lol
Last tip I forgot to mention. Your master is not finished at this point. You will need to listen back and automate accordingly to make sure your master still translates ;)
how would you go about "automating accordingly?" Do you use multiple presets and cue them on the time line? Last one: do some songs need fewer/more persets?
@@garrettspies8970 Great question. What I mean is not presets but you automation eq bands for instance or the limiter itself. Generally speaking just giving a little bump for the drop is very nice to do. Things of this nature. If you are interested in this kind of stuff check my channel and the mixing series there
While a really basic tip, the recommendation to turn off the visualizer to really hone in on the levelling with only your hearing is so huge. It's one of those beginner tweaks that sets you up for years of success. Thanks for the vid Guido ❤🔥
It's so pleasing to me, listening to Guido and learning from him! :) He has the knowledge and humor for an awesome learning experience. Keep up the great work, man!
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I'm not even joking when I say it has changed my life. I have this track I'm working on that is really cool but the master had sucked...it slaps now. And to think I almost paid an AI mastering company to do an auto master....lol
Love your style :D Thank you for this tutorial, very handy as always. I found this loudness meter today and was wondering how to utilise it effectively and kaboom you show up in this video using this plugin :D thanks once more
Presumably, most or all of the mastering tools are removed from the free version that comes with some hardware. It would be interesting to see how far a track can get towards completion with only the demo software.
6ms with no auto release and one with 1.5ms and auto on is a bit if a sneaky trick for sure. But double or even triple limiting has been around for years :). Give it a try or a Google search
first time I "lolled" in a tutorial, GOOB....hahaha that's gold You sir are becoming one of my favorites! You got a talent for teaching....awesome stuff! funny and really informative. "Don't look at the screen" Looks at screen, hehehe.......but, I get what you mean... First listen and than look at screen.

Exactly what you want. More technical stuff with Cat and Beats , he is a great teacher.
Thanks! Tons of it over on my channel or patreon :)

@@Catandbeats Thank you so much. i will now be watching every single video of yours and taking notes 🤯🤓
This was too advanced for me but I loved to listen from start to finish. I'll be back in a couple months and listen to it again 🙂 thank you!
What a great teacher makes everything super easy to understand!
Awesome
This guy is the real master of mastering
Greatness to the max. thank you brother
Amazing Tutorial, thank you very much, very well explained!

Incredibly dense lesson, super clearly explained
That's how we do it
after doing the whole eqing process, i noticed the limiter in youlean was responding more how i would have imagined! excellent
Great session! Thanks a lot, Guido!
My pleasure, thanks for having me on
Amazing!
FL? What r u doing here?
Lol
this was really helpful, and you are very good mastering engineer
Well, thank you
@@Catandbeats you have another subscriber
3:08 i am going to use that in my next song
Wow! Filtering distorted sounds is imperative to attract listeners. Especially on vocals being heard clearly from distorted sounds!
Thank you
Guido is the best 🙌🏻
This Guy must be a real Friend.
Great tutorial! I like the "the limiter is merciless" quote! Super true!
thank you very much....really interesting and well done🙂🙏
This video made me feel that I could learn this skill!! Thank you!
THIS MAN IS GOATED
Best lesson ever seen on youtube 😅
Fantasic video! Thanks so much.
no worries!
As a newbie, it's a added bonus to download and listen thru this video
This has been unbelievably helpful on every track I've worked with - I continue to reference it a year later. You are the man!
Bruce Swedein would listen back with the lights off when check what he had captured so that his eyes wouldn't distract him.
I learned so much from this video👌 super clear explanation, you gave me much value here🙌 will rewatch it for sure whilst mixing my next song
It's so pleasing to me, listening to Guido and learning from him! :) He has the knowledge and humor for an awesome learning experience. Keep up the great work, man!
This was so helpful!!! Thanks so much!
no worries! glad you enjoyed it

most fire video on the net
we need a fire extinguisher (dad joke)
I'm hip hop generally but got to say was a pleasure to watch the work on a track of such calibre. Great Mastering education but GREAT track
Track is all from the PML team. dope guys
Yo, this dude is great at demonstration. Kudos!
The best tutorial ever,
Thanks. got some nice once on my channel too haha (shameless plug)
I am only using ableton lite so I have to do some work arounds, but man this technique makes my tracks sound good.
You guys are awesome, thank you for doing this!!
whenever i see guido i literally stand at attention lol
Dude!! You’re killing it, very clear very funny loved it
I enjoyed the class
Learned a lot thanks!
dither - "ehhh a little bit of a fuck up"

Nice and straight forward tutorial
Thank you so much! My first Steps with mastering in Ableton and you explained it so good! Learned a lot!
Loud and Clear ! TY
Thank you so much 🔥🙏🙏
Thank you so much ♥
awesome video!!
Thank You ! Perfect chain for dj masters
a limiter should be about it to be honest.. don't suggest doing much more than the usual peaks on a dj set..
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I'm not even joking when I say it has changed my life. I have this track I'm working on that is really cool but the master had sucked...it slaps now. And to think I almost paid an AI mastering company to do an auto master....lol

Thanks man! You are the best teacher!

Thank You!!!!!!
Thanks dude, picked up a thing or two
Well done, sir! Direct, concise, and so extremely helpful.
Gracias
Você simplesmente elevou meu nivel de masterização em 20 minutos. Absurdo! Muito obrigado por isso. Todo sucesso do mundo pra ti, um abraço do Brasil!
Gracias? No clue how to say that in Portuguese but thank you
@@Catandbeats "obrigado" is "thank you" in portuguese!

Getcha coinz up lil nigga
This was super helpful. Made my shitty track louder and less shitty.
man, you are cool
thnx
Thank you for sharing! this is extremely useful!
So clutch dude! i learned tons from this, thank you so much! This channel is perfect for learning making music! thanks once again!
yep, dope channel. my channel is only about mixing and mastering :)
Thank you for this tutorial 🤩
fire tutorial
Super tutorial! But there wasn't anything related to enhancement of the stereo image. I wonder why.
Excellent tutorial!!
Cool
yes indeed
Thank you, learnt a lot from this tutorial but.... Am very unsure, must admit, about using Limiter and then ANOTHER Limiter straight after
6ms with no auto release and one with 1.5ms and auto on is a bit if a sneaky trick for sure. But double or even triple limiting has been around for years :). Give it a try or a Google search
incredibly helpful thank you
No worries!
Top vídeo ! ❤️

funny and really informative.
"Don't look at the screen" Looks at screen, hehehe.......but, I get what you mean...
First listen and than look at screen.
yep.. had to double check as I was like.. lawd that low end is messy
Appreciate this video I’m gonna try these skills. My track sounded low compared to other tracks. I’ll be back with update
Go for it!
I've learned alot by ear only but really needed this!
It helps me getting closer to my goal ;-)
Practice makes perfect. Do your thing!
