I'm confused when he says, if you have to add too much eq you are better off remixing, isn't mixing eq aswell? what's the difference between mixing and mastering?
@Tacadoband Mixing is the process of adjusting each individual track in a song relative to the other tracks in that song. It is where you have the ability to individually address issues within each track. The final mix is then bounced to an aiff or wav file (preferably 24/48 or higher). Then take a few days off from that final mix of the song. COme back with a fresh set of ears and depending on your software open the wave file in a template designed for mastering .
@lonzenator continuing from my prev post. then you will open up on the master channel a series of plugins. In Logic... I use a parametric EQ plugin, followed by a sum/minus plugin, followed by an multipressor (multiband compressor) followed by a brick wall limiter, then I have a meter/ analyzer (this does not affect the over all sound, but allows you to see your sound as well as being able to hear it. Remember, spacial effects are added at mix down to individual tracks, not so much during master
@lonzenator another continue. I hope this cleared up the difference. I will say this, the less you decide to "fix problems in the mix" the easier mixing will be. The most dynamic your final mix (should be -3 db on every channel, every plugin and the main output channel) the easier the mastering will be. If you have any clipping anywhere in your mix then you are killing yourself from the start. Allow yourself time to breathe and back up often. Make one change at a time. take breaks... have fun.
@Skorp2daEon yea you can go to my web site scholacreations com and go where it say get music mastered and there will be info and samples...you can send me 30 sec. of a track with the vocals and the beat individually to me. and ill give you a free try
I am rivot head recording musician. I have a great 3 room studio setup for recording & mixing, but a true hi-end mastering facility will run upwards of a million dollars minimal. My method is mix to master. Any Audio app like Acid Pro, Cakewalk, ect. have a main stereo output, so I load T-Racks 3 as a VST plugin on the main output, load a preset, & mix the song to the IK Provided preset. So as I mix what I hear is the finished product, plus I can compensate easily as main volume is increased.

@polymedia sometimes its bad for the same studio to do both for 2 reasons. most studios only specialize in either recording or mastering as the gear can be very different and very expensive. 2, bias situations can occur. such as the engineer is friends with the drummer and eq's the drummer to sound better than everybody else, or the mixer just knows all the flaws in the mix and tries to fix them in the master... it is much better to have a different person mix and master the audio. not cheaper.
hey people, help please. .. do I have to master every object seperatedly in the arrangment or can I just EQ,compress and limit whole track at the time?
@bomartable Before any mastering, make sure your mix sounds good first. Once you're happy with the mix, put compression, EQ and what not, on your Master Track.
@HarPoonz18 <-- What he said. The most important part of mastering is being given a mix you can work with. Everytime I receive a client's "ready to master" mix I can usually expect to have to ask them for a few changes in the mix before I can start.
@bomartable You shouldn't be mastering or mixing. Not saying it to be a dick but because you asked that question I am POSITIVE of it. Practice on songs you don't need to release for at least the next few years or have someone who knows what they're doing and has a trained ear (there are millions of people who think they're engineers but very few are) and have them make your music sound good.
@bomartable I commend your humility. That is so detrimental to your progress. Take my advice and keep working on it obsessively for the next few years, read every reputable audio engineering textbook you can find (YouTube is a terrible place to learn from because there are too many amateurs posing as pros), and look for an unpaid apprenticeship at a real studio (the experience is priceless), then finally go to college and always stay humble enough to continue learning everyday.
@bomartable ...I'm speaking from experience and I benefited more than words can describe. You have to have passion and talent for it as well if you wanna go far but nothing tops the training & practice I mentioned. If you're an artist first, I highly recommend having a pro do the stuff you plan to release in the meantime because newbie mixes can really hurt the success of your music. Good luck.
Not much changes in this field. It really takes an ear and a perspective, less a set of technologies, or the hottest mastering engineer in LA to do your stuff right.
@deltamode8 Rihanna didn't sample anything. Her song writers did. Rihanna has no talent, she's just nice to look at, which is all that's required today. Sad.
@Michael55443 how about you stop hating ya big bitch because she wouldn't be famous if she wasn't talented. unless you're touring worldwide selling out shows with a legitimate fanbase, then you could say that.
Shit, where is part 2, im struggling to get started with t-racks, all tutorials seem to be advanced. This guy is good but hes a book plugger, he cant introducin himself without mentioning books he has written. I should do same about the size of the shit I had this morning, man it was impressive.
are people mastering quiter now? the last time I checked commercial releases they were all highly limited upto about 14db, it would be nice to have more dynamics in recordings again.
wrong. the correct line is: eq for lowering frequency-bands - compressor - eq for pushing frequency-bands - brickwall-limiter/maximizer. eqs that lower a range belong BEFORE the compressor, because if you raise a band before a compressor this band will confuse the compressor and affect all other bands, so that the comp doesnt work as it is wanted to work. in some cases it starts pumping uncontrolled and you cant fix it.
does this apply with electronic dance music? when i look at wave forms from completed mastered 320s from pros, it looks like a brick in the loud areas. yet ive been doing pretty much the same thing as you and mine just looks like a louder version of my original mix. what i mean is their tracks are completely full but sound crystal clear, no muddy sounds or anything. what gives the wave form the complete fullness. is that from reverb?
Woooow, somebody apparently knows it ALL. You just put words in dude's mouth, esp. @ 0:25. "Destroy the artistic outlook"? You must've been on something amazing. Totally unnecessary, good thing you closed your account.
@xX0Jota0Xx It's got to do with the increasing loudness of released music over time. The dynamic range decreases, the perceived loudness increases making everything sound louder and 'better' (which it really isn't!).
Check the Wiki article called 'Loudness war', too. ; )
@xX0Jota0Xx : the point is that human ear understand louder music as better quality (better music), so trough history the music has been pushed to the limits of compression/volume, and nowadays we are on the limit (0 db), and that's what you see in the graphics.. the hard part is to push every sound to the maximum volume BUT without clipping (without breaking the song, keeping it pleasant, but as loud as you can)
@Ni7ram, this is worng. the human ear doesnt do that. you have learned this to be as it is because of the industry has destroyed your recognition of what is right or wrong. try spending some time listening to some albums from the Bob Katz honor roll and you know what I mean. after that you cant stand radio-music anymore. music nowadays is nothing than acoustic porridgs made and mastered by idiots. sorry for the harsh words, but fact is fact.
@whiteaxxxe : i guess it all depends on the music genre. in electronic music this is a fact, but the same technique is an heresy in jazz or classical music. anyway, i'll try that

Mastering made easy! just add little boost on 10-12kHz, cut a little on 440-550Hz, roll-off around 30-40Hz, add subtle compression as desired, send audio through tube amp for smoothness and barley limit. (don't brickwall to max.... forget the loudness war... preserve your clarity and dynamics while having lower than usual loudness instead of having over-compressed lifeless audio)
@RainKingRecording Agreed, I'm studying mastering at university. Not to dis-respect the author, but this is explained in extremely layman's terms. This tutorial (and others like it) WILL NOT make your demo sound like commercial CD's.
thanx for posting - what u say about this "monocompressive" trend nowaday is true , and with pop music it is maintained which is why katey can do a song with snoop- the selection catalogue on ur nearest station proves this - but i think it sucks - in the 80's some songs were mellow others were off the chain - but i guess its a matter of taste
I need to know if I need any kind of recording f\software to run T-rackS and alos need to know what are the hardware needs on any Windows PC so this Tracks software runs ok... any help?
@captainate every engineer has there own rules/ checks and balances...that is becuase he/she is trying to reduce the chances of over processing...if it doesnt reach his standards then he sends it back to the mix engineer. When your mastering your putting the icing on the cake not baking the cake...so there is no point trying to be a repair man....
but obviously sometimes rules are meant to be broken.
Normally, a song which has been mixed would not have EQ problems. In this case, the compressor will adjust its gain change according to the right frequencies and it will be possible to make fine frequency adjustments. Besides, a compressor emphasizes the fundamental frequencies of an instrument. If you EQ before compressing, the compressor WILL NOT emphasize the frequencies you boosted on the EQ. This will force you to over-EQ, adding muddy phase shift to the sound.You should read about audio...
whats the difference between the t-racks brick wall limiter and the Classic Cipper.. i use the classic clipper and i can give a nice boost and keep all my channels from peaking.. is the brick wall better...
For releasing your music - mastering is listening, first & foremost. Nothing beats the experience and fresh objectivity of a professional mastering engineer.
Why? Because paramount to mastering is NOT the processing but the accurate monitoring environment & experience to ensure that any processing decisions are right from the get go.. eg, knowing not just how to EQ but which EQ is right for a given setting, and having such options and knowing what to leave out.
