That transient side technique is nice. Definitely gonna steal that! Also copied your Saturn 2 settings and will play around with it. Thanks for the great tips.

The ability to randomly modulate an EQ's frequency is a very cool option. Anything that would reduce the ear fatigue in a track, making a song more listenable. Great video!

weiss deesser is the best deesser around, this does not just have a place in mastering, but is a legendary processor!!

Excellent video, as the others (I've subscribed+bell and never miss one) but, and it's a big but, when it's realy subtle changes can we realy hear something when everything is passing thru the YT compression/tweaking/loss of definition?

Last tip is interesting! I generally make inactive all the Plug-Ins that I use for metering. I started to do this when I realised that they use certain amoint of processing. 😉

First tip is exactly why Elevate is so great! Having the adaptive transient shaper after the limiter and before the clipper (pushing the transients into the clipper) makes anything you run through it have so much more power and punch than just using a limiter and clipper. If I could only use one plug-in for mastering I would choose Elevate every single time. It's not the cleanest and most sterile mastering plug-in there is, but it just works wonders on pretty much every kind of material you throw at it.

Btw... 5:42 that would be the exact same thing as setting stereo link to 0% AFAIU.
