I don't care who you are, but if someone is trying to give me mix advice using FL Studio or a neon sign on the wall that says "EDM Tips" with foam panels on the back wall....I'm out ☮. Another reason why I love the detailed, scientific approach to your videos. Good man!

    @@panorama_mastering yea I just think that the impact of preringing is vastly overstated, especially with the small EQ changes that one usually does while mastering, while the phaseshift of regular EQs can lead to especially distorted, square-like heavy bass waveforms massively increasing in amplitude, hurting your maximum loudness for the track for no good reason. Dan worall once made a video about how much of a problem preringing really is called "sympathy for the devil" and I think he broke it down well, it's not that bad.

    If you do wider boosts and cuts in max +/-2dB range you won't hear any pre-ringing and the benefit of using linear-phase eq will be significant compared to the traditional eq. It sounds smoother in the highs, less eq-ed and more full in the lows and low mids. So using linear phase eqs for mastering is actually pretty good advice. Just don't use narrow filters and hpf or lpf with linear-phase eq and you'll be fine.

    @@panorama_mastering I don't know, I was comparing Ozone digital vs analog eq modes and Pro-Q3 natural phase vs linear phase (high) and both (digital mode in Ozone and linear phase mode from Pro-Q3) sounded better than analog and natural phase modes on a full mix when doing multiple 0.5-2dB wide shelves and bell filters. The difference is very noticeable when there are 3-4 eq moves at once.

    One thing about the low cut on the master, can we use low cut with like a 12db/o slope and linear phase mode? and should we avoid putting low cut in mixing on low end content too?

  • @DorinBriciu

    Or use analog eqs: apply the filter u want, render the file, reverse the file and apply the same filter, render the file again and reverse it. Now u should have a perfect filter cut without phase issues since you’ve put all the phase shifted frequencies back in place the moment you processed the reversed signal. This nullifies and shift or pre-ringing. Should work with digital eqs aswell but those already exist as linear phase eqs. But hey analog linear phase sounds good amaright?? I got this from Dan Worrall, i aint no genious unlike him haha

    The purpose of flagging low-cuts as broad advice was to force you to question WHY you’re doing it and if that why is always applicable/guving you the result you want. You use linear phase refer to section on this video re; linear phase and pre ringing. Regarding mixing; there’s more use cases as when your using pass filter you can also manage elements independently from one another too, so not only will it mask a louder peak or audible effect, you can also go in and move the volume of that individual element you’re effecting

    I don’t think this statement is completely true. There may be different ways of getting to the same place and not all things are set in stone but when you’ve been doing this for a long time you definitely find right and wrong ways of doing things. There are many repeatable procedures and processes that just work and taking the perspective of “there is no wrong or right way to mix” ignores the formulaic part of engineering which imo is 75% of the job. If there were no right or wrong ways to mix then any one could do the job. Right?

    @@davidasher22 Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the subject of mixing. It's true that there is a certain amount of subjectivity involved in the process, and what works for one person may not necessarily work for another. While there are certainly technical skills and fundamentals that need to be understood in order to create a quality mix, ultimately, it is the emotions and feelings of the song that are most important. As mixing engineers, we are tasked with finding ways to support and enhance the emotional impact of the music, regardless of whether or not it conforms to any specific rules or guidelines. Beginners may not yet have the knowledge or experience to fully realize their vision for a mix, but that doesn't mean that what they are doing is inherently "wrong." Instead, we should encourage experimentation and exploration in order to find new and innovative ways to create mixes that truly move and inspire us.

    You are wrong... cutting at 20 hz DOES give you more headroom... even you say so... "sometimes it does," WHICH MEANS IT DOES! Get a Pro-L2, push the signal gain by something, 2 or 4 or 6 db... THEN on/off a EQ with a 20HZ cut... the mix WILL be louder with the 20HZ cut because the limiter can push MORE signal that ISN'T that low end that you can barely hear.
