Mastering Worship Song with 2 Analog EQ's (COMPARE MIX vs MASTER)

In this video, I describe my approach to mastering this Spanish worship song with 2 analog EQ's (Manley Passive, Dangerous BAX EQ) and a couple of digital audio plugins (UAD ATR-102 Tape, UAD Pultec, Fab-Filter Pro-Q 3, McDSP AE400 Active EQ, Izotope Ozone 8 Advanced). I also describe the tradeoff between Loudness and Dynamics and my sweet spot for this mix measured in LUFS.

Thanks to Kingdom First Studio for having me on this project and for their permission to use their song on this video.

Check some of my mixing and mastering work:

This is an awesome video. I have a much better understanding of the mastering process now. 👏🏻

Nice Buddy, I highly recommend Metric AB from Plugin Alliance for placing your guide mix or reference tracks etc plus u can automatically gain match, and select filtered frequency bands to compare the draft mix or even mastered reference tracks. Also Standard Clip is great before your main limiter to just control the peaks 0.5-1dB clipping, helps the limiter to be more transparent and even gain louder master if needs be as the limiter won't be freaking out from the peaks.

Hi George, what would be your approach between Neve and SSL console, in terms of sound/color?
