Mastering and Loudness Tutorial in WaveLab 6

So here we go, I tried to pack as much info in this as possible. I've gone over some basic concepts of digital audio mastering and loudness 'optimization' along with an example that will hopefully bring your track up to a desired or at least- comparable level. Please note that I do not cover all aspects of digital audio mastering, just basic loudness increasing. Feel free to comment for any questions. Enjoy.

Great video man. I cant seem to find the soft clipper. What is it under? Or do I need to get it somewhere else? thx

@ozymay The Classic clipper as shown comes with T-RackS 3 Deluxe from IK Multimedia. Definitely check it, out they have some handy shit in there. If you don't have T-Racks you can use other alternatives like with Waves. I know Steinberg has Leveler but I don't believe you'd get the same result.

@dangerale Cool, thanks much for the info.

the drop was heavier with digital clipping.
