As a self taught individual, this channel has been absolutely incredible. I've always been on the fence about recording school because of how overwhelming mixing and mastering is. No way I can afford tuition so I've just been struggling through, picking up a lot of other peoples strong opinions and misinformation.

I watched all the stock plugin mixing and mastering videos and genuinely feel like I'm not just guessing anymore.

Thank you so much!

One of the few master mixing tutorials I’ve clearly understood and will use as my template. Brilliant explanation. Thank you

[KjelsnesOffisiell]

Hey, thank you! This was really really youtube golden standard material! No joking, no family guy clips, just sharp, to the point and fast forward. I might wish a few places that you allowed more time for playing examples, but really, this helped me understand so much. I have watched quite a few youtube tutorials on the mastering subject in the past, often ended up feeling drowned at some point, but here we are. I feel like your video has given me a perfect foundation to build good mastering habits for friends and develop from. Thank you very much, Sir! Also, how do you feel about mastering your own projects that you produced vs mastering other peoples projects?

Holy moley! This is a brilliant tutorial, and in my opinion, one of the best for explaining Logic Pro mastering plugins.
It also helps when you're using a pretty cool tune too!
Thanks a million, for posting this.

[mrsnapple]

by far the best approach ive seen and your song is cool...so many are awful to listen to for mastering. this one is great

[QuentinDQuintana]

I would like to commend you on the presentation of the your video. I was very straight forward with valuable information. I will be using the tips that you have showed us in my own process. Thank you for helping to further our craft. It is very much appreciated!

Wilson, This is so good. I’m baffled you don’t have more subscribers, but I think you will soon!

[LeeCarmon]

Tack så mycket! Jag kunde hänga med hela vägen. Och i slutänden blev jag mycket nöjd med resultatet. :)

[CJS-fxtp]

Thanks so much for this video! It was well timed and packed with what seems to be just the right info i was looking for! You also explained well each item which is not always the case in these kinds of videos I find. Thanks again!

[jotatse]

Thanks a lot! It's really great to have all these plugins without needing extra stuff. Well done!

[nickd.]

[inanmaz]

All my basic questions about mastering are explained in this video. Thank you!

[olivierverboeket]

Thanks man for your input. We're releasing our first album next month and you are helping out a lot! :)

[hevertonrocha]

Thanks so much for this amazing mastering tutorial!!

[maxreinsch]

Perfectly explained (and it's taught me a lot). Thank you so much

[OfficialStevenCravis]

Wilson, If I like to use direction mixer on individual (mid to high frequency) tracks during mixing, instead of the little panning knobs, would it make sense to set any crossover differences?

[OfficialStevenCravis]

Are those first compressor settings the settings you always use?

[Bleitzofficial]

I use fl studios what plug-in can replicate that frequency widener plugin at 15:24

[JoM]

Very useful info, thanks! I would only say that your voiceover is much louder than the music and it's hard to listen to the track. Edit: levels make a lot more sense at the end once you've mastered it haha
