You’re incredible man. Always straight to the point, rarely do you ever waste a word in a sentence. Stay up.

5:30 Alternative is making a channel fx in bitwig, removing the sustain part with transient shaper and the attack part with another parallel instance of ts, then just eq /fx separately and compress to glue this parts again. A bit different approach is using multiband fx and midside processor.

7:57 a 5k Hz airband works great on drums a 20k Hz airband works on leads / vocals during mixing.
Slate air can be oversampled with DDMF metaplugin if this makes sense. Alternative to a deesser which could muffle the top end is a dynamic eq in that range and some dynamic notches which are ducked by dry or sidechain filtered peaks for more control. While mixing it is way easier to fix that problems by gain automation or a gate threshold automation.
Fixing such problems with SPL dual band deesser could work but could also take away some weight.

It would be nice to have an album of all the songs mixed and mastered by Sage Audio :)

For something similar to the SplitEQ you could use the MRatioMB with the Noise/Tonal or the Quiet/Loud settings to separate the transients and the tonal part of the sound, and then eq both parts.
Also, for a free de-esser I recommend TB Sibalance v3, and TB Equalizer v4 is a good -demo- free eq :D

An overwhelming number of tips again. As an (more or less) advanced beginner in mixing, I'll go first with number one and two for mastering and then, I am sure I need to watch this video a couple of times, make some notes and check every tip one after another.

Use shelf or Bell instead of lowpass or Highpass filters. They're much saver in terms of phase shifting.

TDR Nova GE is a good alternative for Split EQ as it is fraction of its price when on sale and give lifetime updates. It has an upwards expansion function that can help to work on transients. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Hey Sage Audio. can you guys create a video about the ways to about mixing a piano? there's a ton of piano mixes out there, and I think it be really cool to see the most popular ones as tricks in a video

[iwalkeverdeyazul]

excelente! son muy buenos los videos de este canal! y también la música que usan para el ejemplo de mastaring...cual es el nombre de la artista y canción? Muchas gracias por todo el gran aporte que hace Sage Audio! Saludos desde Argentina

I hear what you're saying on the 1st tip, but if the track just needs a little eq push in one direction to make it sound better it shouldn't be a concern. Just check with your client if it's all good.

Can you please do a video on how to master a song with Maximus the right way .. I feel like it’s a really powerful plug in that’s taught wrong almost every time

[Lmachine]

Artist and song title of the first song you used? I kinda want to hear the whole song now 😊

[ronny]

is “side/mid” almost like an eq way of saying “stereo/mono” ?

[Criomancer]

Hey! How do you use the EQ curve analyzer? Do you have to pass through a simple sine wave? Or what?

[musiclover-rm]

biggest question not covered here... linear phase on mid/side on master???
