The best plugin for monitoring with headphones IMO is Toneboosters Isone v3. I think they are the best at it and its super flexible. Sounds good too once you calibrate it.
It's very refreshing to hear a mastering professional discuss it as an art form. I encourage people to try mastering. Most of the value is in having someone else sculpt the end product objectively though.
this just enlighted me about rms and peak volume, i always struggle to understand this, nice!
Very good tutorial, food for thought. Learned a few needed points.. I guess that's why we listen to masters in the trade, to learn from someone better. Cheers and thanks
Forgot to say, but I love Anthony's style and knowledge, very cool, and with a pretty nifty selection of t-shirts too!
10:20 Even though there is only one warp marker in this case, you should most definitely turn off warping in the clip settings before you do anything like consolidation, this way you are not applying a "beats" warping algorithm to your whole track before you further process it. Great vid tho, thanks!
+Stradi Anthony didn't use this project to master the track. This is just an example showing some techniques Anthony mentions, not a video about how to master a track. If you want to hear the full mastered track head to our sister channel Point Blank Music :: czcams.com/video/xO_JKkprFTU/video.html
i know I'm kinda randomly asking but do anybody know a good site to watch newly released series online?
@Jon Roland ehh I watch on flixportal. You can find it through google :P -forest
@Forest Ismael thank you, signed up and it seems to work =) Appreciate it!
@Jon Roland happy to help :)
So much valuable information in this video! Thank you guys.
Love Anthony's knowledge in these videos. Thank you for sharing!!
Tokyo dawn Nova is fantastic, and totally free dynamic EQ
Awesome video .. love the focus on dynamic range...
Mastering can be difficult ! Thanks for the knowledge
awesome. Thanks for this. Interesting RMS talk, agreed completely.
Luv rediscovering plugins I never use. Been meaning to get back to the Tokyo Dawn stuff, guess now's a good time ;-) Great work, Guys... thanx!
Thank you for sharing 🎼🔊🤓 Iv been stepping into mixing and mastering in the last year 🙌 I’m lucky I have a fresh supply of beats from my friend who I write lyrics and rap for 😎 it seemed like a logical step as Iv kind of been doing some low level mastering for a few years now as when he gives me songs I often tweet then as I need to make my vocals fit 🙌 anyway it’s a proses I’m loving and if found a few places on line especially CZcams that are offering us your knowledge and time for free !! I’m soooo thankful and I’m learning sooooo much 🎯 many many many thanks 🙏 ✌️
Dude is so smart, thank you!
I understand the desire to not deal with lossy compression, but I imagine that most students who are looking to mix and master their own stuff will have to come to grips with modern distribution methodologies. I know just from fighting with SoundCloud trashing tracks over and over again that I've had to leave - 3.0 dBFS in a WAV upload, and then download a corresponding MP3 from them at - 0.8 dBFS. It was a lot of fiddling to make sure whatever their transcoder was doing still kept it from lighting up a track with ISC points everywhere. I've bought a lot more tracks in the last two years that don't clip at all (mostly from Bandcamp, some from Beatport) and it seems like we're going in the right direction. Hopefully. :-)
Good stuff here, nice one. Thank you
I know you have had Foamo in before but I'd love to see you get both the Gorgon City boys in to deconstruct some of their tracks.
yeah that would be wicked ! their drums are so good and subs pumping really nice on every piece of audio

great chat
Great video
Anthony is the the fucking BEST!
I used a 4 trk cassette recorder (Tascam) for years, The digital thing for me is overwhelming at times, mostly because of having so many choices. Now after dealing with tape his for years I got a nice digital system and all the new plug ins are ones emulating tape recorders with hiss if you want. Lol why not just use analog in the first place? I know for me it is a matter of expense,and just hard to find things anymore. I miss my adat days. 2 " reel players are much to expensive needless to mention a 15 minute 2" tape is 200 bucks. There is definitely a learning curve here . I recorded a song on soundcloud called I don't need your memory on 4 track and it sounds excellent for that format.
Really useful episode! Reaches for EQ settings.

Point blank who is the founder? Can you remember where the name Point Blank came from?
I am in the camp of creating, mixing and mastering my own songs. With that in mind, I have a Q about mid-side. If I am in control of every step, and I work hard on my stereo field in the mixing phase, then am I right to think that maybe I DON'T need to add a M-S EQ tool in my mastering chain? I do print a WAV to master, so am committing to a certain extent, but any stereo field issues, my first thought is to go back to the mix and adjust it there, not apply a M-S tool to fix it in mastering?
IMO I would say yes, going back into the mix will definitely help sort the issue out. Mastering is just the final tweaks stage and giving the final level. if there is phasing that has to do with the mix.
That's a Guy who knows his Craft!
wow, I'm so lucky, I just got it for $39.99 🥳🥳🥳
fuuuuuck slate digital 41:10
Can you automate the effects on izotope? @PointBlankMusicSchool
+Tapanga Matthews I'm obviously not Point Blank but yes you can. I have FL and Reaper and I can automate parameters just fine. CPU usage is a bit much though! XD Just what I found haha
*and I assume you mean ozone
Quick question: Does WAVES has anything like the digital V3????
probably a mix of some Waves plugins can achieve it, but you can buy digital v3 for $30
Yeah the video is waaaaaaay behind, so if there is anything we are supposed to see repost it.
How do you deal with the noise? After done with the master chain i get this like white noise through the whole track you can hear it specially in tthe breaks more quieter parts
Thats probably low frequency hum. You should go back into the mix and check every channel for the plugins you use. Some plugins use emulate low frequency hum like the hardware used, you can turn it off in most plugins. Also the recording could be a factor, using gate and automation can help with that. One more thing to add is there are some great plugins from waves and Melda that can help solve these problems. Melda even has a plugin where as you introduce a specific noise into the plugin and it identifies those frequencies which interns it masks those problem areas within the mix, very clever plugin. Check out there site its there.
Probably the 'analog' button on your waves plugins. Turn it off back in your mix.

-wants to become a full time mixing engineer-
+Twitch Delic chuck izotope on the master and walk away laughing with a pocket full of money can't be that bad
+David buoro u der??
+Sidhant swarup ^^
fix it!
The sync is buggered.
Bruce Lee says nice work !
good brainworx add haha
Mastering engineers have to understand that mixing engineers will usually not give them 2 db of headroom let alone 6 db. They didn't spend hours to mix it properly just for you cripple it down by your mastering "art".
Anthony voice sounds identical to Andrew Scheps' voice
Filippo Mancini to me he sounds like Mojaxx
this is helpful .. but not as helpful as buying izotope ozone... the THING is .. HIT records .. SOUND and look VERY different... so its really like a GREAT MOVIE.. there is no formula , people like what they like...
yup out of sync
Audio is like 30 seconds out of sync, this is completely unwatchable...
+Kris Luyckx It's not just me then! lol. I thought I was experiencing some sort of space time flux. I still absorbed the knowledge that he was trying to give.
