Basic mastering of a DJ MIx Recording

This is my basic quick way of mastering a mix. Not maybe what you learn in a school, rather the way I do it. I am always open for hints and ideas. Obviously, you can do so much more with a mix, but that is another video... lemme know in the comments if you have any questions.

some links to the plug ins:

"everything affects everything a little bit, so just keep that in mind"
sounds like a great quote about almost everything in life 😉
Thanks Chris! 🖤🔥🙏🏼

I've put your EQ tips in to practice with a mix today and I'm over the moon with the results. The mix sounds fat and punchy.

Thanks Chris 😁

More like these is very much welcome Chris. :) More Ableton Live stuff. :)

Still the best tutorial, my mixes sound fire with just these simple steps.

[DJShivanki]

Awesome thank you so much! Maybe a tip for the limiter, if you play the loudest part of the mix, check session view to see the peak dB and then use the limiter accordingly so it never exceeds 0 dB when adjusting the volume in the limiter.

I just tried this tutorial and my peak with everything else like glue compressor and eq activated it was -5.81 dB so I added +5.8 dB in the limiter, then it doesn't clip at all and keeps sounding consistent.

Thanks a lot! Will upload my set this afternoon so hopefully YouTube doesn't screw it up

A little tip on the Bax Eq Chris. Hitting that MS button and also unlink the controls, raising only the sides 1 dB on highshelf (little widening) and possibly 0, 5 dB boost at 1.6-2.5 Higher 3.4 can get a bit too "spiky" to the ears ears. Small amounts on eq's can give plenty of flavor. I wouldn't go higher than 1.5 dB boosting. Limiters: Soft clipper and then FF L2.

nice job done here. with you i mastered first time my mix from club live. love ya my master. schranz forevah.

[Stacity]

Thank you Chris it seems ironic that these tracks are already mastered are being mastered again but necessary as they have all been mastered differently in the first place and need to glue together as a coherent mix thank you for sharing I enjoyed the video.

[GeorgeAdiOfficial]

Thank you for sharing magic tips once again Chris! <3

[benprojekt]

THX a lot @chris. Just the basics help me make my mixes sound a lot better 🙏🙏🙏

[Thryller]

Chris, du lässt das so unglaublich einfach aussehen. Dabei steckt da eine Menge Erfahrung ´drin. Danke, dass du das mit uns teilst!

[SebastianGral]

Awesome, thank you! It would also be interesting to know if you have any specific settings/features in Traktor you'd recommend/prefer or maybe some tricks or tips you wish someone would have told you earlier! (I'd honestly love a screen recording when you use Traktor, but maybe a magician shouldn't reveal to much of their secrets)
