| Video Discription | In this video, I turned the camera on while mastering a mix to show you the steps I took to make it loud, clear and ready for release. Initially, the peak loudness of the mix was at -0.3dB but the average loudness of the mix was too low. This meant that it sounded quiet on most playback systems and could not be turned up to a good listening level. My main objectives were to increase the average loudness without creating any audible distortion or ducking and to bring a little more excitement to the mix. I also listened critically to ensure there were no issues or edits missed.

The artist has kindly allowed me to share part of the mix file with you. This involved getting permission from the label too, so we ask that you use it for educational purposes and do not re-upload the song. Thank you so much!

I chose the Youlean Loudness meter (free), Ozone Vintage Limiter, EQ and Maximiser. Q) Why are you not using more scopes and analysers? A) I have some more scopes on my interface but when you get used to listening on a good system, your ears can pick out the issues more easily. Q) Why are you not using analogue gear or "analogue" plugins? A) I love using both but I felt this mix did not need any more analogue character! Q) Do you master using headphones? A) I use the Beyerdynamic DT1990 when mastering, especially for final checks. Many engineers push for higher sample rates such as 96kHz or 192kHz to try and give the impression of higher quality. Higher sample rates often lead to lower quality. This is due to intermodulation distortion caused by inaudible frequencies. Unless the AD/DA converters are world class and you have an incredible playback system capable of reproducing 0Hz-96kHz with almost zero distortion then higher sample rates than 48kHz will offer no improvement to your recordings, mixes and masters. Oversampling inside plugins is a different discussion entirely, as this is a digital process and often does lead to better results. TL;DR: Higher sample rate does not equate to higher quality of music. [ZHXD-BlKyL8] |
