Thanx! Yes I know about the master bus solution. I have mixed for many years and all I need is a good tip on the mastering side. The reason I was asking was because even though the mastering process is a complex thing and you should work with a stereo-file in your DAW Ive come across people as yourself sitting at home and getting rediculous results only using the master bus solution.
I am far from scratching the iceberg on mixing and mastering and this was all self taught so i could be comletely wrong on everything and there is most probably much better ways of doing things
Blockfish adds a slight amount of warm compression to even things out.
The glisseq adds lows and i cut some of the very highs because i felt the cymbals were too prominant. I used a harmonic exciter and eq on them and felt i over did it.
Izotope ozone adds more direct EQ (i cut below 34hz to tighten the bass) and i used the harmonic exciter and stereo enhancer to give it more width and depth.
Cubase Dynamics adds a tiny bit more compression.
Voxengo Elephant is my limiter, which is getting moderately slammed at +6db in.
On the mix stereo bus i used some tape simulation.
Various plugins on the drums most majorly paralell compression. Snare is quite heavily compressed.
I wouldn't recommend using a master bus solution as its completely different to mastering properly.
Hey man cool work on the remixes. It's nice to hear a promising talent compared to alot of shit you find all over the place today. You actually show that you have skills in arranging and stuff from a tonal aspect, good work! I was hoping you could help a brother out by giving some tips on what you used for mastering or if you just did a "master bus"-solution? Something tells me you didn't use a limiter due to the fact that the snare still smacks heavenly. So what's your secret for keeping all the smackiness and high output?
hey man are you going to be doing more of the katy perry covers? shes always buggin me about getting more. she loves em and i actually like em as well.
