It’s crazy how for years I’ve been trying to get your attention to somehow help me with my career but whole time you’ve been doing it on YouTube and I just need to apply what you’re teaching

This is great info. I struggle with this area of making music and will try this tonight.

Great topic.

A thing about amplitude processing:
Clipping doesn't "make the mix louder"...makeup gain does. It's the same with compression, just without ratios working downwards from peak (hence the term 'downward compression').
Compression and Clipping MAKE THE PEAKS QUIETER. It is all the function is doing(!)
Later down the signal chain, the processor's back-end makeup gain is effectively _increasing the relative low-to-average levels_ to make everything gain in perceived loudness. This achieves the goal of the peak amplitude of resulting signal remaining the same level as the signal before processing.
2nd thing, on terms relating to harmonics vs amplitude:
Fletcher-Munsen curves are also AMPLITUDE-dependent. Clipping is only directed at _amplitude;_ the harmonic changes are artifacts resulting from turning anything more and more into a square wave. And so the by-product of increased clipping is Odd-order harmonics, even though the function specifically aims at peaks.
***Saturation*** is the intentional, specified harmonic addition (both odd and even-order) in the frequency spectrum independent of amplitude.
PEACE

This has been months in th making for me. THANK you so muxch for explaining this and sharing I have been after this sound for about a year doing all kinds of whacky stuff wgen the sound I wanted was just eq and soft clipper I can finally make songs sound loud and bass frequncies reverberate through my track how I like, busywork beats the goat!

[ColterN]

Wow I had no clue that clippers were so powerful but this tutorial told me everything I need to know. Thanks!

[ilangosurendiran]

And this is the reason why we follow your channel..! Dope content busy. Thanks a lot 🔥👊🏽

[skrypture]

Thanks Game, I was doing it close but not right 😂 now I’m sounding much cleaner 😊 love you brother, been watching since like 09

[joshuamulenga]

Wow! Nice one woooorks beats, u r da dopest!

[riconation]

Bro you releasing the song used in this video I want to listen to it 🔥🔥🙏🏾

[TSnippo]

Shout out Busy works beats keep going everyone‼️

[SOULFULWORLDWIDE]

Wow my mixes are so loud now that my ears hurt! Thanks busy works beats

[trinageorge]

I use soft clip on tracks clipper and everything is so beautifully loud. Love it.

[aquabluestew-]

Wow I really enjoyed tuning into this Mr.Busy, I’m new to the whole learning from peers on YouTube type deal and had no idea of the potential amount of concrete info and insight on that could be brought forth in these, with such a modest yet motivating vibe to it all. It was all down to earth and the results are undeniably impressive
Unfortunately I’m an FL mobile user and I don’t think there’s any clipping option other than maybe messing around with gate, limiter, multi band compressor and leveller?

[prmyer]

A soft clip is the first thing I put on my master, then proceed to my regular mastering chain

[tugzzcouncil]

to this day i dint learn nothing from weaver beats but i alredy learn enough in here to sell a couple of beats

[prodchrisdontmiss]

this is great but i rly just want to see a simple step to step what to do

[klaytonvonkluge]

Thanks Busy, I have troubles with this
— I especially have trouble with the bass areas,
I like to add specific bass notes to fill in melodic "holes" (I tend to use more than one bass, one sub area, one a bit above) but I have trouble EQ-ing it to a sonically balanced result

Please could anyone tell me how to achieve loudness when uploading a type beat on YouTube? I export my videos with the ZGame Vizualizer from FL STUDIO.

My biggest struggle is getting loudness 😐
