Each genre of music must be approached differently when mastering. For ambient music, the emphasis is on wide dynamics, a big deep stereo image, and a clear differentiation between the soft and "spiky" parts of the mix.

    This is an AMAZING direction and video! I'm glad I found this! I have been making, mixing music for years and mastered a few albums, but making ambient music took all my standard steps and said "nope. Not here buddy!" 😂🤣

    Good video. Been screaming about this for years now. Take any ENO track and check the LUFS. It goes as far down as -23LUFS. Headroom... It can't be ambient without it. :)

    I saw this and decided to check it out, because I mix and master in the way EDM is done. So seeing a different perspective for a different genre is something I wish there was more of.

    Thanks for watching! I hope other genres have something to learn from ambient - I've certainly learned a lot from EDM!

    Thanks for watching! Are you referring to the hardware version, the EQP-WA? In which case, of course hardware beats software by default 😊 I haven't heard any appreciable difference between the different Pultec EQ plugins I've tried, but I appreciate that others have articulated some - but I'm quite happy with the Waves ones. Would love a hardware version tho!

    Thank you so much for this video, it's seemingly coming out at the perfect time for me! I'm working on my first EP as a hobbyist producer, and most tutorials focus on pop-oriented sounds. This actually answers a lot of problems I ran in to!
