Audio mastering in Logic: An alternate way to set up your mastering project.

[mnstudio]

Very interesting the movie, but I can't exactly understand where the track would be...

1 original and then duplicated on 2 and 3?

And how indicatively would you set the faders?

Many thanks

[hamsaladsausage]

@mnstudio yes, exactly. And the faders would be set entirely to your taste as to what sounds good

[mnstudio]

@hamsaladsausage So in this set up you have 3 layers: 1. Original, 2. Mid-Side Dry (with potential EQ), 3. Mid-Side Parallel. Right?

[hamsaladsausage]

@mnstudio the "original" is only there for reference: to skip to and check that you aren't straying too far from the original sound, while the mid/side combination of tracks 2 and 3 will make up the master audio. Don't see this as a way to set up every project though: this is just showing you some different ways you can use logic when it comes to mastering, there are some round-about ways you can tackle mastering with these features but often a track won't need you to be so complex :)

[mnstudio]

@hamsaladsausage Aahh I see... Interesting. I wonder... Mid-Side principally widens the sound?

Wud this technique be good for rap beats?

[hamsaladsausage]

@beatsbyfrank absolutely

good tutorial, MS processing is a really old and powerful mastering technique still used by many engineers today

[theydontknowyet]

slightly off topic but ive just pluged in a nes USB mic and for some reason my projects dont seem to have the little R icon on the channels, like yous. how do i solve that??

[DjEvolux]

How do I copy a plugin? Apple + alt + click? Thanks..

[bchamorro]

what exactly is this?

[GlowcastAudio]

@bchamorro hey, could you be more specific?

this is setting up a template for a mastering project

[beyonddeadstudio]

@bchamorro an example of how to set up mid side processing. bad advice if you ask me. while mid side processing can fix botch mixes, if you are mastering tracks you mixed yourself you wont need to use this technique.
