Fucking hell this tune is such a banger. It's really refreshing watching a tutorial where I actually want to keep listening to the track repeated. Normally the tunes mastered in tutorials are awful and it's such a struggle to have to listen to that crap over and over as stuff gets explained. Great video. Excellent charisma.

Dude!!! You've increased the quality of my Mastering Tenfold!!! Learning to Record, Mix, and Master on my own has been a daunting trial, and it is videos like this that have made that journey possible. I just finished mastering my EP and I'm just blown away by what I've been able to accomplish. Thanks so much!!!!

Exactly what you want. More technical stuff with Cat and Beats, he is a great teacher.

[Catandbeats]

Last tip I forgot to mention. Your master is not finished at this point. You will need to listen back and automate accordingly to make sure your master still translates ;)

[sierramusic]

Great vid I bought your PML Melodic House Course, it's what I was looking for, for years!

[francescomanfredi]

This was too advanced for me but I loved to listen from start to finish. I'll be back in a couple months and listen to it again 🙂 thank you!

[Paul-fhlz]

What a great teacher makes everything super easy to understand!

[DennisBayazitov]

While a really basic tip, the recommendation to turn off the visualizer to really hone in on the levelling with only your hearing is so huge. It's one of those beginner tweaks that sets you up for years of success. Thanks for the vid Guido ❤‍🔥

[saxosaxo]

Greatness to the max. thank you brother

[brunobrito]

Amazing Tutorial, thank you very much, very well explained!

[JamesRamboPearce]

This guy is the real master of mastering

[lazar]

this was really helpful, and you are very good mastering engineer

[jeremywhitten]

after doing the whole eqing process, i noticed the limiter in youlean was responding more how i would have imagined! excellent

[hondurenonegro]

Thank you so much for this tutorial. This is a great explanation of how to learn the fundamentals mainly using already installed tools. I like this practice because it helps to understand other 3rd party tools down the line. I watched this once and then implemented this on one of my songs and I definitely can notice the difference between the mix down, premaster, and master versions. Thanks again!

[MrFrattocchia]

Incredibly dense lesson, super clearly explained

[mcdan]

Wow! Filtering distorted sounds is imperative to attract listeners. Especially on vocals being heard clearly from distorted sounds!
Thank you

[tinamarles]

thank you thank you thank you!!!! That tip with the glue-compressor set to kick frequency is

[prinzbach]

Great tutorial! I like the "the limiter is merciless" quote! Super true!
