Did you use this software to record 'Unbreak Your Heart'?

Hey just wondering im having a trouble with mastering my tracks also, but i could of sworn that your not 2 have any red at all all and on your master and track volume you were clipping pretty hard. I could be mistaking plz correct me if im wrong and if you watch the video again when your drums hit the meter was in the red hard... Thanks plz respond..........

[maskerade45]

@954DNYCE You never want any red when recording.  That's why your last plug in should be boost 11. It's a limiter and it will not allow your recordings to go over 0db.

@maskerade45 Hi there..

Are you saying that when we are recording the various instruments we should make sure we are not getting into the red region, but when we are mastering, it's ok to if we end up in the red region?

[youngriose]

[maskerade45]

@youngriose Boost 11

Ok I will have to install those tonight after work and see what cooks. Thanks again for the useful tutorials.

[DSProductionz]

Nice tutorial man... Thanks for your time. I will definitely apply some of what I learned. One question... I have Sonar 8.5 Producer Edition and I do not see the EQ and Compressor you were using in the video? How do I get those in the menu?

[maskerade45]

@DSProductionz that is a great question. You have to go back to the installation disk and then go scroll down and you'll see that the those effects are not checked with the default installation options. There are like three or four of them. Check those and uncheck everything else. Sonar will then only install those components. As a matter of fact, there are a lot of cool programs in that list pane that Sonar does not install by default.

I'm not so much into the style of music but I really like the vids. Good quality music/recording. I like it. Learned a few tricks!!

Great work Maskerade.

I just watched all your sonar videos back to back. I have recently bought Sonar 8.5 Studio & now I have a much better understanding of what I can do with it... Awsome!

Now I'm off to check out your website.
