Another great tip is to use mathematical subdivisions of your BPM when setting the limiter release time. For example at 120bpm a quarter note lasts for 500ms an eighth note is 250ms and a sixteenth note is 125ms. Allowing the limiter to pump and breath/undulate with the natural timing of the music, sounds more natural and musical and doesn’t stifle the natural flow of the music.

"Only professional mastering engineer on YouTube", First I thought you were praising yourself then I realised IT IS THE TRUTH! 🧿

[Indigo_Jams]

I'm currently using on all my masters Pro-L2 as the final limiter with a "Streaky 1" preset that I got from one of your other videos. Almost no look-ahead, All Round, High Attack, Low Release, Stereo Channel UNLINKED, -0.1 Ceiling. Thanks Streaky!

[Devlife]

The quality of my mixes drastically improved (I'm not a mix engineer) and I am really thankfull for that.

[josephpurdue]

Holy hell dude. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Just bounced down a track with my previous limiter settings and then your limiter settings. In your one the tracks is coming through so much brighter, and I can get an extra db out of it. Absolute legend. New subscriber.

Remember, folks, you only need to dither if you're exporting at a lower bit depth

[OfficialStevenCravis]

Streaky, your Ozone course is very good! I'd really like to see something similar to this video above, but for Ozone settings.

Der einzige Produzent auf Youtube wo ich bevor ich das Video gesehen habe bereits Like!

[ConnollyMusicCreation]

Just starting out on my mixing journey. Thank you for the killer content.

[anthonylynchmusic]

One of the few channels about music production I really trust, your videos are gold!!!

[KutayYavuzMusic]

You are one of the few honest people on youtube! Thanks for the real info! I always leave -1.1db on the output just to get away from the streaming codec compression etc. You just set it to -0.1 and i am confused. Streaming converts to a lossy format and that could add even a 1db to our current mastertrack. I would like to know more about your opinion.

[manwithaplan]

Can confirm, amazing results and great timing

[screendrem]

I've watched this a few times. Excellent stuff. Thank you!!

[L.DOT.P.]

I LOVE THIS FORMAT STREAKY... YOU'RE ON TO SOMETHING!!!!

[XIII-rlbn]

Tell me, do I need to enable dithering? when exporting a wav master in 44100 16 bit for uploading to sites or will this degrade the quality?

[ktryushi]

I agree with the true peak Streaky it needs to hit little bit harder but it makes the tracks also little bit distorted, if you know what you're doing, it's a tricky method. But if you have a good ears, you can hear the distortion at some tracks when they turn down the peak.... When I am in the club, I hear some of the famous tracks distortion and some of them are very clean tracks. Sometimes I am thinking some dj's and people on the crowd are just deaf lol. Anyway, thanks for the advice Streaky.

[axjajxa]

thank you!! quick and to the point, great video!

[davejohnsonmusic]

A .01dB ceiling is pretty high. Surely you will get audible TP's and distortion over 0dB when encoding to a lossy format, where it's noticeable? For audio, I aim for a .05dB ceiling and for video, .07dB. I use the Transparent algorithm because I'm using another limiter to catch the peaks before the L2 that's already coloring the sound a bit.

These settings work fine for me, as Streaky says, trying the lookahead a bit more or less, attack and release same thing - my old Mac Pro 2011 chews through it on 32X oversampling, offline of course - gives me a chance to practice my classical guitar while I wait ;-)

This is basically the Loud > Practically Clipping preset in Pro-L 2 for anyone who wants to quickly dial in the settings 🤙
