Multi-Platinum Mastering - Using the Limiter

Multi-Platinum Project Studio Mastering features Grammy winner Mitch Gallagher, renowned engineer, producer, composer, and writer. This is a short excerpt showing Mitch's use of the McDSP ML4000 limiter to control dynamic range and bring the mix to a comparable level when played against commercial releases.

Necessary for any recording that truly aims to sound "Pro," Mastering is the final step your songs will take on their way to release via CD, Web, or DVD. It is often the most misunderstood, misused, or abused part of the production process.

This sample video is highly compressed for YouTube. Check out http://www.multiplatinumprotools.com for longer and higher-resolution samples, as well as additional information and tutorials.

I really want to know the name of this song and the artist please :)

@mrjleeify I think you're getting sample rate conversion and dithering mixed up. Dithering has everything to do with your headroom or quantization.

Thank you. Great video!

[mrjleeify]

@remixerone.......you obviously have been taught wrong as welldithering hasnt got anything to do with head room im woorking on a video to explain and a daw does do that ill prove it in my video responce

[mrjleeify]

@RainKingRecording Im a music engineer not a english or writing major......but not only do you have no idea what im talking about you also dont have any idea of what your talking about

[RainKingRecording]

@mrjleeify Man you really need to work on you sentence structure because I have no idea what you're talking about.

[mrjleeify]

@RainKingRecording OH YA were you there to see it done and its called d.i.m. when mastering in protools and def has the ability to use high end you were abviously schooled in mastering at ytu(you tube university) how else would you not know that. ill post a video responce to this to prove it its not about dithering.

[RainKingRecording]

@bestplugins Yeah but we're talking about processing headroom. The bigger a bite the algorithm can take of the audio the better it's going to sound. Pro tools doesn't work like mastering systems. You can make it louder but It just doesn't sound the same.

@crashdog5866 compression and limiting makes peaks fade, so guitars, voice, bass, cymbals, etc... come up. After compressing and limiting you have to make a little tweak on the levels.

@RainKingRecording music ends with 16 bit, 44100 hz, so the final headroom is the same.
