I like

Mastering my own music because

It is it's just another thing I can do that I can say was my

You know we're supposed to

Doing a piece of s*** thing that kind of sounded alright news musically all there in the mix wasn't quite but

Thank God for this other dude cuz if it wasn't for this other dude this album when sound the way it is

But with udmi

Because it's so

Such a solo act

Performance like I like

That I

Even though I'm I may be doing it wrong or

It's not coming out you know as good as it could if I gave it to f****** Lang

Hang in on like that's cool too but like hey it's mine

You know what I mean

And if it's

Deems

You know and when I found out that you know the first time I ever did a

Kissing music and they played it on the radio

And nobody f****** said

God that sounds terrible in in context of mix

And I thought

Well I got away with that you know so that kind of empowered me to

Keep going that direction in learning more about that as

Trying not to get

To Sidetrack learning how to make f****** music because then all the sudden underworlds

Mastering engineering

Do anything else

In Wichita

Some cases you know you just have to find that and balance of learning

But

You know

I'm such a

Solo did West like you know all even do art

The CD cover and it's just like so that way you know when the big box after the album comes out or gets

Printed and then I can get the box and I can hold the CD in my hand inside f******

Did most of this s***

And you know

And you look in the credit

You Don't See

Written by Joel

Produced by so-and-so mix by so-and-so and the list

You wouldn't believe how long

Some of those lists fuckingo on unsung people solo

You know it it's so crazy is like what you don't want you just form a band

Pinpoint meaning

But yet you know Peaches on

I just I just like

If my product

It's me and this is

This is everything

So you're missing your mastering all in one package

And it's

Something to do to keep me from f****** killing myself waiting for a mix engineer.

Hopefully you know mix it well

The only thing really bringing out when your mastering is just some volume gain some Dynamics

Change in Dynamics

Change in overall gain

And a bit of EQ tweaking

That's really all mastering is

And my kind of rule is do make it a sound as good as you possibly can before Eve

Touching this stuff

While making sure you have enough Headroom to do what you got to do

Headroom being the the amount of Headroom you have is

Like basically if 0 is your your no-go Zone meaning that's the loudest

You can possibly be

Headroom is like

Good Headroom is usually about 60 bellesa

So it's about you do -6 DB so you kind of want to

Keep your eye on this end and we're obviously peeking at some point cuz I just saw hit red there

It's what we'll do is we'll grab all our channels

Hold the volume down

Actually we'll grab a large

Properly

You can see

Infinite Headroom there because

Now I'm going to turn it off slowly

Tell about

That looks about right

And it doesn't have to be exactly -6 pitches

Do you have enough

Headroom

To do

The things you need to do on your master

Biking a musically limit

So that'll be the first thing

Correction

The first thing I do

Is

Strip out

Anything below 30 Hertz

Because that's

That's

You know

30 Hertz is

Really low and

And I mean you're not going to hear 30 Hertz anywhere

Maybe

At the

Craziest Festival rigger something like a like 30 hertz's is more like you

Start to feel that and only barely Saw II 10 to cut

You know

Below 30 Hertz

All the time just

In case that some of these samples or digital sins are outputting you know

Peaks at you know below 30 Hertz or something like that causing I limiter at the end

Techno kind of Spike outer

Or use that frequency as

You know what

Something to duck when you don't necessarily want

That's why I just cut it out

Entirely

I find you know how obvious

Send

Aspiring EDM producers and stuff like that's all yeah you got to have the L1

Well

It's a limiter that's all it is if you know you put the L1 at the end of your

You put the aisle 1 at the end of your master changes makes everything louder

But it's just a lemon or not

Only thing it's designed to do it's not designed to

You know bring out features in or frequencies or anything else is doing is taking an overall level

And making it as loud as possible without clipping

So

Basically every time does Red Bar goes that means you would have clipped

But the processor with a compressor the limitation is happening within it is preventing it from doing that and there

Therefore it is reduced the game by that much

For now we'll go into

Blesiv

Fabfilter limiter

Tonight

You can see how wow she just guessing that I knew that that was going to be you know in or around close to negative

60 B it was actually a little quieter

Cuz I can't really hear it

But

-6 DB is kind of

Ideally what you want going into your master but because now you have all this Headroom

To put that game and then start shaping

You know your Peak so I can already tell that my Kik is way too loud because it's the only thing

Being affected by the limiter

So you know I can go back up and then maybe like take my

Tick levels in

Bring him down a significant amount so now that just gave me even more Headroom you know

So you see the Kik is still being

Peak slammed a bit as it should because it's usually the most

Forefront featured in edmtunes it's going to be that Kik

Right so

It's not

That everything needs to be zeroed out in

I'm fat you're actually kick should be

Being limited the most

By the end of your master

After because

It's going to be the most prominent kind of feature in the thing

Now this going to be the point

The Distortion of limiting so you can I want this plus 30 decibels

While it's not peeking it's not going over that digital clip and you know I have

Enter sample peaking on which means it's going to

Kind of average out those

Speaks by. It's not

It's not enough Fender it's playable it was really badly distorted and there's no diamond

So

Kind of turn that up as much as I can until you know I'm not hearing so much Distortion but I'm also hearing quiet thing

Quiet and loud

What kind of team down a bit but

Still being loud

A limiter is like

Give essential on it

Anna on the end of a track because some

You know if you if you take care of healing if I took my limiter off all my tracks and stuff like that you just have to mix and you'd have

Yeah you know you could potentially have a lot of dynamic range but if you accidentally peek over that 0 by you know what

What I mean without

A limiter on it that's it

Digital clock

Cardinal sin

A lot of

The things that I do hear you know kind of thrown around

Amateur hour production week

Freedom is like Yohe I will

I need a what's your master chain

I can give it to you but it's not going to do you any

It's it's

Mass

There's no magical process that you can do to the end of a track that's

Just going to make your whole track

And that's a huge misconceptions like people like off got the strap but if

If I knew it's put on the end of it and now it's not what you put on the end of attacks

It's what you put on

All that s*** before you go to the Ender

So it's like

Miss

This changes every track this is just for this

Particular one I didn't Nessa

Sara Lee me that you know a multi-band compression

Define put it in there

Oh I see I did

I got one right here but

You know it just calls for certain things like a

I didn't need a whole

Linear EQ with this and that knocked out or whatever they were really no offending frequencies going in the first place

You know I didn't really need

This week any of that

But that's all I can generic stuff that you're just going to pick up on your own or you know read around like

But you know again of course

And what do you know the last thing in my chain is a limit

You know that's

Just going to open that late

Drive-In crunch the hell out of this track because

It's really driving kind of crunchy in the

In the Park Square

You know the lead wasn't

Bahçeşehir

She's getting that really Drive

Over compressed kind of thing and that's just you know I style it's not necessarily oh yeah

To do this

Because if I don't you know it's just going to be a little

Very subtle limiting itsjustnick

Giving the track the same amount of bite than I why I want it

So you know what that all that the flavors of your mass

Change

There are such things as mixes that aren't

As loud as possible you know what I mean without Distortion that just

That's that's just one way to do it but there is such a thing as dynamic range

Meaning the way you should listen to it is

Okay first off the bat is not

Listen for

Obvious limiting distortion

And that means that a guy is doing what I did here

Is Penning a limit or way too hard

It's like dude you're there is such thing as a volume knob and you can just turn that up instead of

Turning your mix up

You know and

And there's actually if you guys can Google this there's like been loudness war going on flash

20 years

And it's exactly this

You know like how loud can we get this f****** TV commercial to come out

Without distorting for being louder than the other guy shittin that's that's called that's just

Limiting there's a funny anecdote that I had with a good buddy of mine who is a DubStep DJ believe in

Or not and

He

He was on my opener for a while not

Don't worry

And I

He was

The king that is

Heart of dubstep

Like so I'm not going to say they're doing it wrong that's just doing it the way they do it

Dubstep is almost

All about

Painting.

You know that red line all the time with your sobbing yourbasin

And having things

Come out like that like it's a

Crunchy grimy loud as f*** thingiverse

Like and that's why I got so

So f****** Papi

Anyway

He was opening for me and you know he played and yeah it was

F****** loud Mommy

But then I came on after him and then I did my thing and I'm like okay and all that was fun whatever in leaves

Backstage

Why why did they pull me down so far on on the on the main mixer like

Why did they turn you up I'm like

We don't do that like I've never done that

For like an opening act

Cuz I don't f****** care like

If you're loud or quiet

You know Amy

There's actually a thing that kind of happens sometimes when multiple bands play the same venue is

You know the headline band gets an extra 4db or something like that that's

Still happen

Extended Stay especially Rock

Anthrax

Thanks alright okay nice CDC and then they ride them up a bit in volume

So obviously Jeff thought I was

Like kind of doing some of that

S*** right now is like no dude

They actually put you up

And and what it happened was is I explained it to him I said okay will look here's what's happened

Is your music is like

Big meaty f****** sausage in this thing

Which is fine that's great that's the salient

But

What happens is you're taking this already Limited

Stuff

You're hitting another limiter

Like because

They're not just going to take your direct output and go out to big speaker

And powered amplifiers

Because you blow those you ball those shows over

So what they do is they go to an FOH

Your your your sound goes to NFL front of house

And the front-of-house guy just you're the mix engineer just kind of you know monitor system channels and then goes into another limiter which is

The safety so they don't blow half a million dollars worth

Speakers

And I'm

Pickett's limited again

Now he couldn't turn it up because

If you were to turn that up even more be clipping it just be useless and you'd hear distorted and crapping all the time and

But of course then when I go on

I knew my stuff had a lot of breathing room meaning

Yeah I was getting some 0 Peaks a lot

But not constantly

And my quiet stuff was kind of a little bit you know

Not even close to

Topeka

Love Stuff with loud quiet loud quiet

And a man that gives

That limiter a whole lot more breathing room

For them to actually physically

Turn up the volume in the amp

So the amps there's there's loudness

SMS perceived

And what your

Doing when you

Can do that is is called perceived loudness it's not actual loudness

Because

No matter how hard I cranked at that volume actually isn't changing its being perceived as changing

That's actually the same volume as that

That the NM and that's one of the things that where everybody f**** up and you know you played a festivals as long as every

F****** DJ's playing a song like that you're good

You know but if a guy comes in with

Tom f****** Sawyer you know

You're done going to eat your s***

Because that's why they use that kind of s*** when they're testing out major system

But it's important to know in and you can meet it halfway you don't have to be captains

Safe have

Huge amounts of dynamic range

Making

Stuff for filming

Theater is even worse

Like you you have k42 metering which is insane that means loud stuff is loud but quiet stuff is on

Inaudible

It's like

Amount of dynamic range is

Isn't

Scene

Theater use

That's why a lot of

Popular music and dubstep

Trap or hip-hop and all that stuff

Doesn't translate well in a soundtrack in the movie

There's so

So little information you can take away from the community or from group of experts or cell

Proclaimed

Worth radikal experts

That you can find use

I used to

Just out of Pride out of

Look what I can do kind of thing where you know I would join

Online music communities very very small boutique

Before before empty

Free.com

Even there were

A whole bunch of little like little cool eclectic little like

Things

You know and then

I never really had

Sears

My time of learning to create electronic music so I dare was

No dick contest to be had unfortunately but now

There is you know what I mean now it's huge it's massive it's ramp and it's like the biggest

It's bigger than the NFL the NHL in the NBA

Binds you know I'm with all day all day

Kids making music these days been uploading on Soundcloud and

And then even on top-tier ends where hey we're all making millions of dollars but

Let's still have a fight over f****** Housh it sounds like s*** and doesn't like

That is

This way out of control bit so

I don't

I don't

Proof pest mice

Stuff I just

I don't care

I just write my s*** the way I want to ride it and I don't

Take advice and only

Cuz I I do produce live I produce in front of

You know thousands of people on a live

Extreme words like

Grand making or breaking ideas on-the-fly not saying here's my finished product

Check it out

Now I have a chat going on while this is at nicad receiver all this

Common all these

All these Engineers are

Coming in to give me there

And send it's like

If I

Get a suggestion on some

Maybe it'll likes it in my brain is

Bug for a minute

That's when I go

On my own

Free offline time and maybe Google it and look it up and research and see what other people are saying about it in general

And not what people are saying about it in

Particular into the case of the thing that I'm working

You know because

You never know where it what information

I'm coming from where when

Just some random

In person on the in

The best to check

Sites like your slides

Stuff like that

This is getting outside information on

On a similar process

Has nothing to do with what you're working

You know when you can extract

Some small pieces of information
