Have you ever wondered how to make something sound loud without actually making it too loud; how to make your voice sound like it's coming through a telephone; how to make recordings as good as possible? I can teach you all this and more. With 9 years audio #tuition experience, I'd love to help you take your #audio projects to the next level. Get in touch and let me know what you'd like to learn! #Music #Mixing #Mastering #Media

Okay, I'm still #mixing but it's time to look toward #mastering, which I'll be at soon enough.

So, those of you that do your own mastering (or do it professionally, if you don't mind sharing your secrets):

1) What does your mastering chain look like? Ideally, in generic terms (eg saturation -> EQ -> compressor -> limiter rather than Fab Filter Pro 9 -> UAudio LA1176 -> Izotope MasterBlaster 9k) because I'm using stock Ableton plugins for the most part apart from the limiter

AND...

Sometimes I feel likemany modern plugins and tools are just there to remove imperfections, but I firmly believe that so much music does only feel "alive" because of small and large imperfections. Yes, I'm all for removing unneccessary reverb from a bad room recording. No, I don't want all my vocal lines to align perfectly with each other.

[anecdotally, I have experienced this scuba diving in a drysuit in WA and BC, especially in freshwater, so it is wonderful to see some background]

I haven't tried it yet, let alone heard it, but #audioassault just released an interesting looking sort of #500module #emulation #mixing #plugin for #linuxaudio called Mix Locker. audioassault.mx/mixlocker
If the thing sounds any good, emulating modules like the SSL 4000E, Telefunken V76 and Neve 1073 mic preamps, Empirical Labs Distressor EL8 and Manley Massive Passive (15 modules in total), I could imagine it being really fun. 🤓

Previews where po-faced people say silly and "provocative" things about mixing seems to be a genre unto itself on YouTube.

Do they really work?? It certainly doesn't tempt me to click. But's they're funny, so I hope the trend persists.

And remember: Everything they're telling you is wrong! About Pultec, SSL, analog, up/down-mixing, mastering.. What, no, not them! Them! Them who?? Anyway, that's what a lot of people say on the internet. Trust me.
