What motivates and drives me?

My family,

Best mastering tips channel out here!! Thank u

[nunnukanunnukalailailai]

I'm a mastering engineer, and I clicked on this video for the title because youtube mastering tutorials are usually full of crap. I gotta say however, this is a very good video. All tips are accurate. Very impressed

Somebody has to hold these self-taught "Youtube Music Producer/Mixers" accountable for just saying anything. I don't care who you are, but if someone is trying to give me mix advice using FL Studio or a neon sign on the wall that says "EDM Tips" with foam panels on the back wall....I'm out ☮. Another reason why I love the detailed, scientific approach to your videos. Good man!

What a track to show as an example. Go off jade and maxxxx!!

4:00 if you do a boost like that on the master, ringing is the least of your problems lmao

I watched a tutorial video with Metropolis Mastering and they were cutting 22hz on a song (using Ozone plugin)

Does linear phase eq can help in parallel
bus Processing?

Specially on low frequences
Because I like to group my bass and kick or drums and send them into a parallel bus and Use EQ to isolate 150 to 350 hz. And i use chorus dimension d on It

[chris-rbbm]

Friend told me of MAAT Orange eq, apparently that is proper linear he said the fab filter pro q wasn't good at linear. Maybe try it please MAAT Orange, Id be very interested to see what you think of it, as you are very good t all this stuff! LOVE YOUR YOUTUBE CONTENET> :)

If, in the example about stereo width, youd have used the mono-maker knob to ensure the low end is still mono, would it still be a problem/possibly interfere with punchiness?

[huberttorzewski]

If you do wider boosts and cuts in max +/-2dB range you won't hear any pre-ringing and the benefit of using linear-phase eq will be significant compared to the traditional eq. It sounds smoother in the highs, less eq-ed and more full in the lows and low mids. So using linear phase eqs for mastering is actually pretty good advice. Just don't use narrow filters and hpf or lpf with linear-phase eq and you'll be fine.

[OUTSHADES]

One thing about the low cut on the master, can we use low cut with like a 12db/o slope and linear phase mode? and should we avoid putting low cut in mixing on low end content too?

[Fire-Toolz]

i still have trouble with this low shelf vs high pass debate. i understand the phase perk. but...when i cut at 25Hz, i'm not just trying to cut 25Hz 3db...I'm also trying to cut 20Hz significantly more, and 18Hz completely. a low shelf isn't gonna do all that. so when what's the solution?

[nils]

"And show you the right way to do things" Your tips are really helpful don't get me wrong but all I want to say is there is no wrong or right in mixing or mastering

[YoungNino]

You are wrong... cutting at 20 hz DOES give you more headroom... even you say so... "sometimes it does, " WHICH MEANS IT DOES! Get a Pro-L2, push the signal gain by something, 2 or 4 or 6 db... THEN on/off a EQ with a 20HZ cut... the mix WILL be louder with the 20HZ cut because the limiter can push MORE signal that ISN'T that low end that you can barely hear.
