This explains multi-band compression so well, especially the part about using it to tame sibilants. Thank you!
Thank you so much for this very good explanation of two examples to use the TDR Nova. Greetings from Hamburg in Germany.

Just setting out on the Mastering journey...thanks for the succinct advice on how to use a nifty tool. You have a new sub :-)
You can also do dynamic upwards compression by turning the ratio dial anticlockwise past the zero.

is this possible with any compressor? Never heard of this technique.

nah, i believe generally compressors dont allow negative ratios which is required for this technique

Great video. I've been using Nova for a while, and it really is amazing that it is free. I really like your advice to novices: use the solo buttons and get used to various frequency ranges. I wish someone had given me that one piece of advice when I started. It's took me a while to realize I needed to do this! Keep up the good videos.
Many thanks for this very good demo!
Excellent tutorial.. Thanks..
Very clear and informative! Thanks so much.
Great! Thank you!
Thanks for this excellent video. A very helpful approach to use in mastering.
Thank you very much for all these usefull videos and advices. All is clear and very understandable.
I put this on my stereo out channel and I could hear the difference straight away. Great video 👍
Thank you so much for putting this together, helped me understand so much beyond just the plug in!

One issue you might cover in the future that would be generally helpful is the difference between a multiband compressor and a dynamic EQ. Thanks.

Great suggestion! /Thomas
To the compressor section, there's one rule: the higher the frequency is, the longer attack and release times shall be adjusted, in lower frequency vice versa (low frequency: fast attack, fast release). Exception: De-Essing :)
@MasteringExplained

I'd say the other way around with the timings in general (short attack/release for higher freqs and longer times for lower freqs) but it all depends on what kind of effect you're looking for. Fast timings in the lowend can give a nice crunch. /Thomas

Awesome channel, really! :) love Nova, gotta try it more in mastering as im trying to learn more about the subject. have you tried their Sick EQ M mastering EQ? it is great. also a little tip, think about processing some of the S-sound in your speaking voice, no biggie, but i thought of it so. Cheers

GREAT video tutorial!!! a tip: Dynamic EQ and Multi-Band Compressor are better used to craft a particular sound or instrument or things like that. Because when you compress a frequency you'll be compressing that frequency in your final mix, all sounds (instruments, voices, etc) at the same time. But, of course, that's your call...

To have this technique work properly its best to use multiple tdr nova's for individual sections that are taylored for the sounds and energy of each section that are automated to turn on and off for each part.

To use it in multiple tracks you would need to have a pretty powerful computer, because the one thing about Nova is that it's pretty heavy on the CPU. I have used it on kick, snare, bass and vocals at the same time, and that left me with limited computing resources, where the CPU started to stall.

@@piscesman54 I use to say that if you're not aware about all you need to be the best and if you can't bear it, go do anything else... I recognize how GREAT TDR plugins are. But they have a weak point. That's all. If you're production demands less than 20 tracks, maybe that's not a problem...

Wonderful video, appreciated! One question. ...at one one point there is blue signal all along the screen representative of the complete sound wave. On my version I have no idea how to activate this feature. It's present when you're adding low end back to the mix post compression. I'm sure it's a simple click but if you know I'd really appreciate it. Thanks again!

Sure, it can be used on any type of sound. Nova can be really useful as a vocal de-esser for example. /Thomas
Great presentation. Thank you. If you want to make a 'breathing' master to make a lot of movement in the mid area. Described by YT mastering engineer 'Streaky' is this possible by using the Nova or do you have to buy the Pro q3. You got a new sub by the way. :)

Good vids although the audio is like slowmotion;)
What effect does the program have on the sound? You are mastering but there is no sound 😅😅😅
