i have a question.. isnt the multiband and boost pretty much the same thing since it both compresses?

@cliff250 Hi there, no not really, the LP64 is a compressor of sorts but the multiband includes a multiband eq, hence the name, so it is perfectly ok to use them side by side, you will however get a much more compressed sound.

You're fucking awesome! I've learned much more than I expected to by watching your videos. Thank you so much, I really do appreciate the videos! You sir, have made my week.

I really enjoy your videos. Cakewalk should hire you to do all of their tutorials. I'm in the process of mastering four (4) songs for a mini cd (Japanese market). Do you have any tips for mastering albums? Thanks again. Kayode

@NinjaTrack The one thing I would suggest is to, once you have mastered all your songs individually, bounce each one down, and then import all four of them into one project as whole songs and check the levels of each song against another to make sure then volume and sound is constant through-out your songs. Other than that, its all about self preference and communication with the artists and producers. Cheers :)

I Have a Question, I use FL Studio as my DAW, but when I render my final Wav file, can I still master in Sonar to get it more clear?
