Paul Canetti - Mastering At Sony Studios

[ThrowawayFolk]

MAKE IT LOUD!!!!

[WIPLQA]

Yeah! More of a fool rather than cool. Feel like am in college again. We worked till 6 AM wow... 14 hours in the studio... Awesome... I had such a great time.... Yeah! I'm 14 years old... Hooray! This is the age of emphasizing!

[stripes5150]

Hey...How do they get all of the instruments to sound like they are on their own in the mix?

[aaronstarr1]

Isnt the difference in the khz basically the amount of data you can fit in a session without it crapping out? Like u can fit more shit in a hd 192khz session than 44.1 before sounding distorted or over compressed? this seems to be a big question on youtube i think its a data issue more than a quality one.

[valerianogaibazzi]

Why don't you stop saying useless things and don't you show the "real" thing? All of you peolple cheating the ones, that comes here to learns somethis, should be send to a particular place, you can guess where....

[PattyWhomperOFFICIAL]

think sony studios uses sony equipment? ^__^

[denisvandervelde]

Google for :

AAMS Auto Audio Mastering System

[tobyanderson2007]

@denisvandervelde Total crap. I hope that was a joke.

[thehornypuppy]

how abouy you don't use your hands for speaking?

[gwb911]

1:01 analog tape : arrr, there be lulz ahoy!!! if avril and other pop idiots master there then they must SUCK cause avril's songs all sound like over-compressed "ocean surf"...

[aseriousoffender]

try putting air in your nose

[mirandansa]

Who mastered the audio for this vid? It quite sucks.

[MegaMixking]

Why do all of these mastering vids show great equipment but lousy music.

[menestrel76]

absolutly shit

[firesoftheempyrean]

That'd be a cool job unless you get assigned to work on the latest Metallica album. Then I'd want to quit and die.

[Capeau]

man that was a piece of garbage

[shadowgovernment1]

f'n weiner nose! ^_^

[ddl312]

You should have gotten your master on vinyl. Cds just don't sound that good.

[FlintStudios]

vinyls are better than cds

[ddl312]

Got that right!

[Capeau]

you can record 'vinyl quality' on a cd but you cand do the other way around... now, tell me again which one rules? ;)

[TheAndyroid]

@Capeau

???? 16bit sucks!! 44.1kHz aint too hot either!! We all know vinyl mixes have to take into consideration the dynamic limitations of vinyl. But then so do digital mixes!!! ie dithering and hard limiting to -0.3dB. At least vinyl IS CAPABLE of real quality, 16bit 44.1kHz is sooooo damaged from the word go.

[Capeau]

@TheAndyroid

@TheAndyroid

I was talking about vinyl vs CD... i know 16bit isnt the best, you can hear the difference pretty good on a good hifi if you compare it to a 24bit track.

So there i agree

44.1khz doesnt suck at all, in fact the human ear/brain cant hear frequencies higher than 20khz, so going higher than 44.1khz isnt necesary for listening purposes.

[TheAndyroid]

@Capeau the maximum reproducible frequency is meaningless. All that matters is how well the real analogue audio can be translated into a digital 'grid'. The finer the grid, the less the audio is distorted (and no, I don't mean clipped). I can hear benefits up to 192kHz on pretty much any DAC (though some DACs do work better at particular sampling frequencies).

[Capeau]

@TheAndyroid

Im pretty sure you will failt at an a-b test between 48khz and 192khz.

[ScorchinBeats]

@TheAndyroid Read up on the Nyquist Shannon Sampling theorem. 92khz might be slightly better, but scientifically speaking 192khz is a waste. Absolutely no audible difference.

[studiogoly]

@TheAndyroid Buy an EQ for 8 000 e and UNIVERSAL AUDIO preamp an SSL OTB and you will forget the point of sempling rait..

[TheAndyroid]

@studiogoly Good point!

[Capeau]

@TheAndyroid

Now, it is true that there can be a difference when comparing it to a 48khz track, it has more air, but going higher than that is overkill for listening purposes.

What +48khz frequencies are good for is mastering and editing. When you need to stretch for example, you will need the extra data to do it lossless (without interpolation) etc...

[MandolinMan0001]

@Capeau DUDE! 48khz isn't the bloody frequency the audio is at! It means that when it is digitally recorded, the AD converter samples what position the wave is at 48000 times a second, or 44100 times a second. Don't post comments as if you know everything!

[Capeau]

@MandolinMan0001

i know that.

Btw your comment makes no sence... wtf you mean by '48khz isnt the bloody fequency the audio is at'?

Have you ever mastered audio for a DVD? which almost always is (re)sampled at 48khz.

[intertubers]

@FlintStudios stupid comment. they're different things completely. stop trying to sound like an expert

[andosmate]

@FlintStudios How is that relevant?

[tinnigeimgengill]

@FlintStudios REALLY ?

[yousurfer2]

that's why noone uses them right?

[kerebaka]

ddl312

Yeah, ya right... but I prefer 2 inches tape.

[ddl312]

@kerebaka What? Yeah Right What? you stupid little fuck face bitch, come out and say it loser.

[kerebaka]

@ddl312

Come on... calm down. I just said I agree with you, but I prefer 2-inch tape. Vinyl is better than CD, indeed. Be polite, be cool man. It's no place to get angry...

[donyarogelia]

Aquest idiota masteritza? es deu passar els dissabtes a Scorpia

[LemonAndYoghurt]

those young guys always seem a ittle too "cool" as in in non-cool, they always try to seem cool, which makes them not. they alway shave big stories to tell, kind lilstenign to a child with lots of stories.

[HidekoTakata]

@LemonAndYoghurt you have issues

[TopTuneMelody]

@LemonAndYoghurt what on earth are you talking about?  to me that guy is cool because I would love to have his job and he does what he loves every day of the week. DOUCHE ALERT DOUCHE ALERT. SWEATY HAIR AND SMELLY PITS < Sound Engineers

[MarcS4R]

how much did they charge ?

[cubworld]

awesome man. Those guys really know how to take care of your music hey. Peace

[miztaz]

how long it takes o master a song?

[FlappyDraws]

2 minutes 26 seconds usually

[dazzelya]

It takes much longer

[mikehershfelt]

5 minutes 37 seconds for the good stuff

[dazzelya]

5 minutes and 37 seconds? That's one short ass album. Usually the engineer will listen to the songs to take notes in any case mastering will take at least twice the albums length.

[ketogenesis]

it depends how good the mixing was, if it was at all, and how good the recording was, depends on the person who mixed it and depends on the "master-er", their equipment, their experience, how picky they are, etc ... they probably, honestly just sit around and listen to music half the time trying to make it sound better, the rest is just monitoring graphs for peaks, listening 4 distortion, reverb, and "blehs" haha my two cents

[edward892]

Until it's vibrant; clear; and punchy. Opposite of the sound on this video.
