I'm curious about mixes that have been problems and what mastering can do to fix them ✅ For example: Sounding good on monitors but not headphones Sounding good on headphones but not monitors Sounding good lots of places except the car (where other things sound fine) Not sounding good anywhere...

I have a couple of mixes that I've been working on as I've learned Mastering techniques. One track in particular gave me a lot of trouble and when I got it to a place I was happy with, I decided to try Mastering the track through a variety of services, and thought it might be interesting to...

I released this recently, and am curious about feedback on the mix even though it's after the fact. It has more than the usual amount of low end for a rock track, but that was planned. At this point, it would be changing my templates if I've missed something huge (hopefully I haven't lol!)

There's a reason professional musicians use different people for different stages of a release. I've learned to laugh at self-mastering (though I still try because I am stubborn and want to learn so if this is you, don't stop). But I ultimately now leave it to the pros I trust for my new...

Here's a song I released last year. I did the mixing and mastering DIY style, but recently came to the conclusion that I shouldn't be mastering my own music (as per the sage advice of every mastering engineer on the planet). Alas, I'm a stubborn fool, so I did it anyway :thumbs up: The original...

Hope this is ok for the Mastering section. It's a gear/signal flow question, but it's related to mastering. I want to split up a monitor feed. For the purists out there, this might make you shake your head in disgust. Sorry :facepalm: I'm sending mixes to a digital EQ unit for room correction...

I want more mastering practice. Getting "paid" to do it is probably not in the cards for me, but I love it enough to want to do it even if it's unpaid. There is only one other forum I'm aware of that has a master this mix section, and I thought it was a fantastic idea. So if you have a mix that...

Multiband compression is often used to destroy mixes in the mastering stage by home studio people like you and me. Ratios are set too high, and attack is often set too short and make-up gain is overused. Here's how to use a multiband compressor in the mastering stage. Get ready for complicated...

I've always been interested in Mastering and the Auto Mastering online services got my attention. The wave of opinions and such on automated mastering seems to range from "amazing!" to "terrible!". So, I figured I would do a little shoot out using a song I had mastered by a professional...

How's this for a fun little metaphor on how compression works? Compression: A War Metaphor - Levity Project The main things are Attack is how long the compressor takes to get to full gain reduction The release is how long the compressor takes to get to no gain reduction The knee is ...

I'm relatively new to the mastering world, but I really love it. I also have no mentors. Sooo - I'm wondering if we can get a few of the pro engineers together to master a tune? I will include myself on this list for the very bottom end of mastering. I consider myself a hack who can get...

Hi folks, I am having a problem with my M-audio 18/14 - it keeps crashing on me (using either the WDM driver, or the ASIO driver - ASIO seems to be much worse than WDM though) My question is: What idoes it mean to "not map through this device" - specifically, will I still hear sound comming...
