Thanks man for sharing knowledge using stock plugins and not trying to look smart ass with third party plugins as others would do. Starting for the basics is good and then build up from there, thank u again.

I finally understood what Makeup does! :D This has opened a whole new world of music production to me and it finally feels possible. With so many other videos I felt like I just wasn't capable of getting mixing & mastering done right, but your videos have helped me a ton! Thank you so much for your work! <3

[paultudman]

Thank you so much for sharing this tutorial, so many great insights into mastering. Your explanation of each step was fantastic, keep up the good work!

[christopherrehorn]

thx for the tips. i think the main thing is here is your mix-down sounds really really good before even going into this process.

[guilhermelimasatolep]

you can use a dynamic meter (bx_meter - brainworx) to match the compression of your reference track and use in your track.
''one million dollar tip!'' ;)

[peterelfman]

There are remarkably few videos on mastering out there, thank you for adding to the pool.

[s_ms]

Can't believe i just found this .. love you man and all the Videos .. thank u so much ❤

[briancase]

I just watched this again after a while. It's still very good and usefu and helpfull. One thing I realized this time is that when you're starting out, no one tells you why something is called just a compressor while something else is called a glue compressor (e.g., is it just because it has a mix knob?). It would be helpful in a future version to talk about that and maybe even the range of compressors, how some impart their own distinctive color or sound....

[electrictardigrade]

I’ve shared this with friends. This is the clearest tutorial yet. I use Reason 12 and watched videos. It was hard to follow. Watching on an Ableton tutorial and this was WAAYYYY more clear. Thanks for this!

[knetixdnb]

old video, but thanks! this really helped explain basic mastering down to a t! legend!

[lightfrequencies]

Thank you. Your explanation was to the point and understandable. You are a very good instructor.
