YESSS!!! I’m a professional violist and violinist here in NYC and during the pandemic I started my own recording studio specifically geared towards recording string instruments called String Garden. Would love to see more “string mixing” videos. I do a lot of remote string recordings for various pop and hip hop artists and would love to see how you all would approach mixing a stacked string quartet for pop/hip hop/etc. Keep up the good work! Love you all!
It's much different in other genres since purity is not the goal. You need to carve out space for other instruments and find its place in the mix. You can make big boosts and cuts.
You can also get away with aggresive compression..
Really cool. But could you use classical music as an example?
Right? "Welcome to this classical music mastering tutorial. Check this non-classical example 🤪"
Would love a tutorial about mixing trailer music, this was fantastic though thank you.
Thanks for the suggestion! Glad you enjoyed this video!

You have the best mastering videos on CZcams possibly the entire internet. It would be INCREDIBLE if you could go over certain albums and how they were mastered. Legends Never Die is one of the best hip hop mastered albums I’ve heard recently. Would love to know their techniques
Thanks kjay! Great to hear you think that! And that's a cool suggestion. If we ever get our hands on some of the mixes for various albums and get the clearance for the copyright, we'll make those!

Nice tips, thanks. It would be nice to learn about long term dynamic changes. How to treat a track with very variated dynamics over long time, with maybe 30 sec of quiet music, then 30 of loud music with percussion maybe. If you tune everything in on the louder part the quieter part will be unaffected. But maybe you need to glue something in the quieter parts as well. No one really talks about this. I guess automation can solve it, but would be great to see some real example of this.
Excellent video. I've been looking for something like this for a long time. It's also good to see Elephant. One of the best and cleanest limiters out there.
Awesome I appreciate your feedback! I like that one too - very clean
Kindly make a video on how much loudness is required for YT videos and different music platforms of a song.
We'll be releasing that soon! Thanks for watching!

Thank you very much for the this Video. I concur with Vlad Sartini, yes we need more of full orchestral example.
Thanks for watching Hesham! Maybe in the future I'll make another video with a full orchestral example!

There is hardly any information online about mastering classical music, so this is great! I have a question though, which is NEVER discussed. That is - mastering an ALBUM of classical music, not just a single track. I am working on an eight-song Neo-Classical album at the moment, and as I want to keep all of the dynamic range and am not using any compression or limiting in the mix .... there is a 5DB difference between the TRUE PEAK of the "loudest" and "softest" songs. If mastering a single, you can increase the gain of each track obviously .... but wanting to keep the mastering and levels consistent across the album, how would one best go about this when mastering? At the moment, I have my loudest track peaking at -1DB true peak, and my softest at -6DB true peak. Any thoughts?
AMAZING!!! I produce Trance and those pads / strings in the breakdown parts are always tricky for me. This was to the point. Please bring them more....
Awesome thanks Keroser! Cool to hear that the info here can translate to what you're working on!

Good Video, and yes, less is more. Classical music is performed by acoustic instruments. The best mastering is tip is to keep the instruments, mix, and mastering as natural as possible. KISS!
Beautiful fragment. Useful guidance. Thank you 🍀
Thanks Julia!

Your tips are great, but the example music is hardly classical. (The synthesized new-agey-whatever sound sample doesn't sound even remotely like ANY classical music I've ever heard in either compositional style or in instrumentation..) :D Still a helpful video, so thanks for making it.
Thanks fornthe tutor,, help so much
No professional has talked about this!
Thank you very much!!
This helps me a lot!!!
P.S. I'd like to see how to master hybrid orchestral music like Hans Zimmer's and epic trailer music :)
Thanks Tateshi! And thanks for the suggestion! Great to hear the video is helpful!

I want some tips on this too
Thank you for the attn for the classical genre. I'd very much appreciate your attention toward smaller ensembles, namely classical voice and piano. Specifically, in sub-optimal recording spaces.
Great one-- saving this video for reference-- thanks!
Nice! Thanks Emma and Sam!

@@sageaudio definitely getting a lot out of your channel-- I can't thank you enough!
Amazing; can you make video about mastering hip hop trap music? I watched pretty much every video of yours and I wonder how you will master dominant 808 in trap as they can impact on other elements by pusing backward when listening on different speakers.
Thanks for the suggestion! For the time being try using an internal side chain on your compressor and cutting out the lows from trigger the compression! This will help keep what you described from happening!

Thanks for this! So appreciate it. How concerned should I be about phase/correlation issues? The more I leave the stereo image intact, the worse my phase issues seem to get. 😬
You are my teacher.
Thanks Sour!

Why not use dynamic classical music as examples in a video about mastering dynamic classical music? The loop used instead is annoying and doesn't help the examples.
Thanks for watching Nando and I hear you! When we made this video we had a limited range of copyright free tracks we could use - if we remake this video, we'll include a demonstration that's more indicative of classical music.

I love this channel
Thanks Akhil!

I got MaxxVolume for free but never opened it - thanks to this video I know it's roughly similar to MV2, which I never quite bought. You usually use MV2 when discussing low level compression, any particular reason for the change here? Thank you for the videos, incredible channel.
No real reason! A viewer recommended it so we thought we'd try it out!

Hi Sage Audio, thanks for this instructive video! I was wondering: should we also master for the so-called "sound enhancements" (f.i. in Windows) that most people have on by default? It boosts the bass, makes music louder etc. I have also noticed that the so-called enhacements can lead to unwanted distortions. Can we/should we circumvent these distortions and anhancements in our master? is that even possible? Cheers.
Please! More video for film score and game score!!!
Thanks for the suggestion!

Hi Sage Audio, I like you, but...how can you call that "classical music"? This sample is not helpful at all...
Haha I know sorry - but had to work with what I had access to. Thanks for watching!

Classical music....🎉😅
Thanks for watching!
Is this classical music.............
This isn't classical music.
Your musical example is absolutly not classical Music !!….
Do people think this is classical music? What a nauseating thought.
