TC Electronic's Global Konnekt project has been around most of the world. The idea was to create and produce a complete track by sending a hard drive back and forth. Rhythm and bass tracks were recorded in London, guitars in Copenhagen, Vocals in Cleveland and Victoria, mixing in London and now - in episode 6 - the final mastering session in New York! Talk about an international track - Let it Rain! Tons of TC Electronic and TC-Helicon gear has been involved - and for this final touch, a System 6000 MKII does its magic.
Mark, thanks for taking time to give a brief tour of your facility and giving us such an eloquently persuasive explanation of your setup in such an impromptu fashion. I'm a huge fan of what you guys are accomplishing at the Engine Room and loved your (TC Electronic) video. Especially all the detail about Mid-Side processing: "Reduce the amount of actual Dynamic Range without reducing any of the perceived Dynamic Range. I have a limiter on the Mid-Side channel trying to get some presence out of it without crushing the sides so that they can still breath. One of the things Mid-Side processing gives is the ability to limit only the center-channel without limiting or compressing the sides at all . You can get up to 4-5 dB worth of gain without actually increasing the perceived limiting or compression at all." Once I typed this all out, I'm finding that I no longer need my Secret Decoder Ring as much to understand one of the most important teachings about Audio Mastering that exists anywhere. Thanks again!
mastering engineers and studios rip the artist offf...with their crazy prices...even though te nature of the music industry has changed mastering engineers and studios are still trying to screw the artist...i rather ...try to master with some top of the line plugins in pro tools doing multiple runs and listening final master on multiple systems than send my track to some jerk trying to charge me 200 bucks an hour ....
The link to download the song doesn't seem to work , I get a " ERROR 404 " message the landing page .. Anyone know if the track is still available ?
Excellent - thanks! I learned a lot.
This Guy knows is stuff. One of the best tutorials i have seen on the internet. Thanks man!!!!!!!!!!!! Big up from Jamaica!!!!!!!!!!
Alblum.
Uses everything except the TC. HAHA
yes true that this is all great mate,keep it up guys. :-)
really? so what... everyone records stuff everywhere and sends it over the internet = nothing new and nothing special
instead, TC electronic, get your act together and get the powercore platform plugins transferred to Native so I can use my 999 Euro VSS3 !!!!!!
@biggaflex2gs if you're serious about getting the best out your track then a good mastering engineer is a must. Even the best mix engineers can have the mixes improved through good mastering. Sticking a load of plug-ins on your final stereo buss is great for helping with the vibe as you're composing but as the dude in the video says "it come in a little hot" - he means it would have been more useful to have a bit more headroom & less compression on the source to allow him to bring out the best
So the jerks responsible for creating ordinary and mass-produced sounding albums were the mastering engineers...Good to know so that I won't ever work with one of them! In any case, limiting and further compressing on basses and guitars must be forbidden to those guys as we already use equalizer and compressor pedals on our rigs to tailor our sound to our liking, not to the liking of mainstream broadcasting networks..
did really the singer sing without a popfilter and have 0 pops???
And did it really have to go to Denmark to be uploaded??????
A mix + master of a record have to help the interpretation. I think "The Pretender" Foo Fighters is one of the songs with a very good balance between song and technical. Few heads on, one direction.The Global Konnekt song was worked with too many perspectives. The compresion and limiting on certain songs have to be used to help best interpretation(responsible). The master of Let it rain, nothing but clean low level master, but where is the song ?
Well, interesting choice for a song. Dynamics is a base concept in mastering, and abusive limiting is destructive for most of musical interpretations, but you know, You can't be on the other side of the circle with dynamics, like let the song breath until it stops to transmit something on mainstream audio systems and doing everything more like a technical demo. Dynamic equipement are creative tools also. Personally, I find the sound too subtle to be challenging. PS : 2011is not necesarily bad.
Great idea for a collab then you can sent big files on the drive cool idea
5:26 Did he say "Dynamic Range"? Hallelujah! Nice to see a mastering engineer who's not a casualty of The Loudness War for a change.
Sounds really good. Awesome song and awesome work on it.
Still, I would love to hear those guitars more and the "choir" too, but that is just my opinion.
WHERE is it ? Where's my track??!!!
Wow... So that's what 384Kz sounds like.
i have that keyboard :D
is there any mastering engineer is out there who talk less?
Wow... So that's what 384Kz sounds like.
i want to also say that the mastering dude is cool
my negativity is addressed solely towards TC Electronics
Great video and an excellent explanation of the mastering process.
FINALLY !!! YES !!!
Laura...you do sing like an angel!!!
if that's an albloom :p
