      Mastering is extremely underrated. Not to knock on myself but when I mix I wait till I think it sounds great..... once I master it myself I'm shocked when I go back to the original mix and say to myself WTF I sucked lol
      A great mastering job can make a what you and the band think is a good mix a billion times better, at least from my experience. Mastering gear is expensive but once you learn how to use it it makes wonders.
      Every time I'm done with a master the clients freak out because we ( myself included ) didn't think it could get that much better.
      Sone ppl say if it's mixed perfectly it doesn't have to be mastered. My question is what's perfect?
      A good recording can sound polish but I've learned through my own experiences unless it's truly perfect mastering will always make it better . Im so glad I decided to learn this art myself honestly.

    Mastering is so underrated and very rarely showcased if at all. 90% of the gear is gear we have never heard of and learning about them is like Christmas morning. Thank you Andrew for featuring these under-appreciated but so important and critical mastering studios.

    In mastering I l love how there is a battle for every half DB. I love how He is taking every half DB seriously and inventing his own tools to get those diminishing gains

    @geirhelgechristiansen3647 Рік тому +3

    The best mastering engineer I haver worked with! I engineered an album for a norwegian hardcore-band. We were superpleased with our mix, and he was amazing on both the dialogue in order to establish a common goal on what it should sound like. And when he did his magic on the uad based inthebox-mix everything sounded super organic and packed with analogue warmth!
    So pleased to have gotten the chance to this Top dog in the metal world! I highly recomend using his services to acheive a Top level production 🫶

    BTW- I love EVERYTHING about this studio. But 2 things about this studio: among all the gear you just did a GREAT job of explaining, I'd never heard of A SINGLE ONE OF THEM.
    To NOT see a visual monitor, know that you're relying COMPLETELY AND ONLY on your ears is awesome... And to see some good ole KRK'S there to check your Masters brings me a sense of comfort, knowing those are the exact same monitors I'm checking my mixes on in my MUCH less vast and SERIOUSLY humble home studio when compared to this one!
    You da man, MAOR! Keep it up!

    • @compucorder64
      @compucorder64 5 місяців тому

      It's true. I know some of the typical mastering gear. Manley Massive Passives, Pultecs, GML 8200s, Neve EQs. But this kit is esoteric. I wonder if it's cheap ;) Only thing is, if it's your own studio, I'd much prefer to invest in building up a production / recording studio like Andrew Master's. Because then you can use it for your own productions, and it's just more fun. Then send mixes to guys like Maor.

  • @marvinbell7007
    @marvinbell7007 Рік тому +3

    This was sooo cool. Many people don't like to share what equipment they use or how they use it, but Maor was completely open and very professional. Continued success to him in his endeavors. I own the OVEN plugin and appreciate it even more after seeing the care that went into its production.

  • @BeejayMorgan
    @BeejayMorgan Рік тому +9

    Is this a studio tour or a cooking show? 😂 One particular thing about mastering studios... there's never a screen in front of the engineer. It's 100% ears here. I also love how big and chunky every single knob is. Looks like an easy space to work in. And that mastering console is INTENSE!

  • @joelwanasek3656

    Taylor Deupree is another cool freelance mastering engineer with a nice studio (12k Mastering) who is also an amazing artist, record label owner (12k) and designer/photographer. He's prolific in the electronic music scene and interesting in collaboration (Ryuchi Sakamoto RIP, Arovane etc...). Probably would make a great interview too, he's a thoughtful reflective artist and a true professional too.

    Spectacular! You're the master of studio tours. Just when I thought I have seen most of it, you come with these spectacular video's! My favorite take aways are the: the amazing studio, the fact that Maor has equipments to his own name, and the way the knobs on the HW's are named (for a master Chef). Btw I do have the Oven. Only, it is a picture on my computer from BrainWorx.
    Btw, I would like to see a studio tour @ BrainWorx.

      Same reason every studio has a mid-range set of monitors.
      You don't just reference on one device. I reference my hd650's, soundbar, monitor speakers, Mixcube, and AV7'S, this gives me an idea of how a track will likely sound on every conceivable device besides the 10k+ setups
