I subbed last year after hearing your amazing guitar shred on spotify. I really like your mixes. Please keep the mix engineering videos coming. Thank you senpai

EXTREMELY helpful video, my man. Subscribed and liked for your in depth explanations.

Love your stuff Mendel! Thank you 🤘🏻

Just started to see your vid, and i am impered to say that this song, visions, in my opinion are the most ever epic intro for a song. I learned to do it seeing 320 times your playthrough of this song. I had to say it. ok, I continue watching the video :D

Your videos are always great! Thanks for this one!

good job to you man! Your productions sound great! Thank you for these videos. Keep up doing production videos!

Amazing, thank you so much for putting this together. Finally mastering is starting to click for me

Absolutely a great video for metal mixing help. Thanks really appreciate it. Keep it up 👍

great vid. thanks for these tutorials. it would be great to see a video about your orchestration, not just in the classical beats, but also in how you layer melodies.

For the entire duration of the video I was like "please don't let the noses of those guitars touch the wall". It kept me up all night.

SO helpfull! Love this vid Mendel! Clearly more on mixing and mastering i would signed for! Thanks!!

I love the video. I usually just put ozone and let it do its things. Thanks a lot for the amazing videos. Stay safe and keep being awesome, Mendel! :)

Sounds amazing! So many great info in this video! Super bedankt man, lekker bezig ;)

Flatline is an awesome Plugin, currently one of the greatest at all ! The shape knob and the overall transparency are magic ! I use it on every Master !

You are for sure my number one guide and recommendation to others for production and synthesis you give us incredible and inspiring videos and thank you very much for that Mendel. I just purchased Ozone 9 to make my life a little bit easier.... Please Mendel give us your light How to master metal with Ozone.... Salute from Greece...🇬🇷

Really cool. Your tricks for mastering help me a lot. Keep going... Thanks...👍

Awesome video Mendel :)!

Great video man. I really opened my mind. Ozone full master yes...!

Great Stuff Mendel...This helps a lot. An Ozone Master would be appreciated as well...Thanks!!!

Wow loved the intro of the track ❤️😍

Mendel, this sounds gorgeous fantastic... it would be very appreciated sharing the mix insight (or session) for this same song, drum library used, processing on all tracks... Keep up the good work man !!

Dude the difference between the original mix to the remastered is huge!!! Awesome!!!

Hey man, wonderful tutorial and I just learned a new way of using the same plugins I've been using a long time.. I don't have the Flat plugin, but I was wondering if you do have a Clipper and I'm using Reaper, can't you make the same or almost the same effect by turning the wet/dry knob down? 🤔😊🤷‍♂️ Again, awesome tutorial man..

Awesome video! do you always leave de True Peaks at 0 dB ? music plataforms recomends TP at -1.0 dB , i´m loosing 1dB of power 😅

Hi Mendel. Great video as always. There is quite a few people on internet saying that you shouldn't master your own mix, what's your view on this? When you master your own stuff do you usually do it "the next day" after finishing mix or would you rather wait a week or two to distance yourself from it?

I kinda agree, but i also master it myself because i’m a control freak with these kind of things. But i always wait 2 days minimum without listening to the mix so i have a some sort of fresh approach.

@@MartinvonBargen I just got myself Ozone 9, (the Standard version is for $99 down from $249 at the moment) and I'm totally confused by this tool. It keeps adding a lot of high frequencies to whatever I throw at it. Even professionally mastered stuff from CD's. It makes me wonder what am I doing wrong? :D An Ozone video with a few tips would be nice indeed. :)

I am surprised that I didn't knew your chanel before. Great and useful stuff! Maybe you would like to try one of my guitar for metal and make some test video of it? I would send it to you once it's done.🔥

What do you do for Export settings? I noticed streaming platforms turn my song down alot and also downgrades the audio quality

Also love flatline and use it before Ozone .. They updated that plugin recently ... BTW

Did you try ‘valve’ boost &cut @30hz ? Also does magic for stuffed mixes like metal music.

Can you do a video for mastering with free plugins?

More magic please!

21:07 How limiter works

Hey Bro, I have to request an important thing that nowadays streaming platform normalised our loud songs after upload they ask to put at -14//-16lufs and -1 true peak, it's hard to us specially like metal music, so can you please do a video about how to mix/master metal song with full loudness that can uploaded loudly in KZread,Spotify etc. 🙏

@TakeHit0

10 ай бұрын

Ignore those guidelines completely. That means going to -5 lufs and 0db peak on your limiter. The thing is that those guidelines dont matter at all. At all. All your favourite metal bands that releases their stuff before spotify did it this way. And when spotify came up did they remix and remaster just for it? No. They dumped their catalogue on there and that's about it.

I'm no pro audio guy, but realize I do everything in the opposite order. When I master, I EQ, then multiband, then compress.... :| Could you be so kind as to explain why you proceed in that order?

@Mendelian

Great question; so i mostly mix into a bus compressor, and if i EQ later before that it could change how the compressor reacts to the mix. So i EQ after it.

Me: Maybe 10 LUFS is too loud to master i don't have Dynamics Mendel: 5 LUFS! and still have dinamics :D Awesome stuff dude! Maybe you can do a video about how you do Gain Staging :)

This overview of Flatline wasn't very useful. It was super much louder than the input, so of course it's going to sound "better". Also, it became louder the harder you turned the clipping, so of course harder clipping was going to sound better. They really should have been volume matched even a little bit in order for us to be able to properly assess what exactly it is doing and how well. Similar criticisms with most of the stuff you did, a lot of it was just making it louder. Then you made it, what, -7LUF in the end? Spotify for example is going to turn that down by 7db to get to -14 LUF, so you didn't even compare how the mix would sound 7DB quieter vs another mix at -14LUF, or in comparison to a -21LUF master that's played 14db louder than yours. To my ears this sounded completely overcompressed and entirely void of any character, and I assume the reason it sounded so "good" is because it just was so loud. AKA, an outdated "Loudness war"-type master, before the loudness normalization of platforms like Spotify. Mind, these masters tend to sound VERY weak with volume normalization. Here's something to think about: How much better would it sound if you had just turned the original song up by 8db or so in comparison to the final master, without any processing? Without comparing them like that, you have no way of knowing how good your master actually is - if you don't perform volume normalization. So let's say your original mix is -15LUF and your final master is -7LUF: turn your original mix up by 8db and then compare it to your final master. Would you even prefer the mastered version if you did that? Also, there should have been more variety with the actual music, now you just showed one little section. I'd be very interested in what happens to active melodies, quiet and gentle sections, perhaps heavy slow power chords etc. although I think I know the answer - it's just so overcompressed.
