Mastering a cd with mbox convertors compared to lavry or apogee or prism convertors isn't even in the same league.. running a song through a manley mu or a stock tracking plug is a big difference. Having a proper room to listen and make fine changes, and most important knowing what you are listening for to make it loud in the right way is a skilled trade. 2sense

Apr 29, 2012 - Yes you're right! Good comment. This is just a demonstration for people who don't have access to all of the high quality equipment of a studio. The track will never sound as good as if mastered professionally in a studio but it can come somewhat close if you know what you're doing.

May 3, 2012 - Do you find yourself having to make more surgical moves on the eq in mastering? Or is that a sign of more work needing to be done in the mix?thanks for the videos!

May 11, 2012 - I have been told by a mastering engineer to add a high-pass filter at 32hz to master tracks.. I don't know but i'm confused with this because I put on a pop or hip hop song of like 50cent and it sounds like it has more sub bass on there tracks... I feel that maybe I don't even have to put a filter at 32hz.. what do you think about that?...

golgod7n Says:

May 11, 2012 - As stated in my video, there's no "set standard" for mastering every single song. Any professional mastering engineer knows exactly what sound they are looking for. If this requires for example, a hp filiter at 32hz then so be it but this is not the case on every song.

james mccrory Says:

May 15, 2012 - how did you get the mastering sign up

producedbyHANS Says:

May 19, 2012 - its because that frequency range is inaudible on most speakers, and will only serve to cause unwanted peaks. a professionally mastered pop song will sound like it has more weight/tightness in the low end because well, it does (top 40 music is always top quality as far as the engineering side goes) but the difference doesnt have anything to do with the 35hz cut. case by case though, as is always when it comes to music haha

May 22, 2012 - Thank you so much for this. i just learned more in 10 minutes watching this than 10 years of trial and error. I heard an INSTANT improvement in my masters after this, so THANK YOU!

May 25, 2012 - For anyone who´s mastering their own songs, go get "Waves" software.

MOOKIEMUZIC Says:

May 27, 2012 - What up man? You just have to go by ear, but since you dont want that kind of answer, ill explain. People usually say to cut of between 40-60 Hz depending on song and genre. Most stereo/speakers/headphones, dont really reproduce frequencies lower than, lets say, 60 Hz, so no high passing will just add muddiness and bad energy. Systems at clubs may also have blown speakers due bass kept on. Just cut starting at 40 Hz but no more than 60 Hz so you wont loose dynamics. Use your ears.
