Hi Dilby, great video! A question: Where you do down with the treshhold by -3 to reach the LUFS value of -8, I have to adjust the threshold by -8. Do you know, what the reason could be for it? (My FreeG is at +6 and not 7 btw)
Not too sure without looking at it. There could be a bunch of factors, but it's probably to do with the volume of the kick and bass. Check out my video on mixing kick and bass.
Thanks for sharing your approach , the clipper played a very nice role in the chain. Sometimes masterings for club ready tunes will clip in digital red ! If you play the WAV file in daw, crazy stuff happening in electronic scene! What’s that technic called dylan?
Actually, I think it is something that happens with mp3 files. If you export a WAV file it won't be able to go above 0db. But then you convert that to mp3 and it is pushed over, I'm not sure why. I could be wrong but that's my understanding.
Excellent content mate! I noticed you have dither off on the limiter. Do you use dither when DIY mastering like that? If yes, are you using Ableton's one when exporting or the limiter's one? Thanks, love your vids!
Keep it on. If someone else is doing the masters then I will turn off the whole chain. Turning off the gain means the premaster will be - 7db so plenty of headroom for the mastering engineer.
I dont understand when is the moment that you go from your -6db mixdown track (i suppose) to the standard lvl of loudness ? Do you start directly at 0db your mixdown and make this chain ?
I have the gain plugin on all the time. This adds 7db. So I work to 0db on the output, but this first passes through the gain plugin. So if I turn off the gain plugin (and any limiting etc) I instantly have an extra 7db of headroom. 0db minus 7db equals -7db.
The headphones I use are Sennhiser hd650. I have also used the Beyer Dynamic DT headphones which are good and quite a bit cheaper. If you get the DT's They have open back, semi-open, and closed back versions. You will get better sound with the open back, but they let in more noise so depending on what you are using them for and where you are using them you might have to sacrifice some fidelity for noise blocking. Those are the only ones I really have experience with other than my HD25 DJ headphones, which are fine for tracking vocals etc, but not very accurate for production.
Thanks, Dilby! I'm a Patreon subscriber and find your videos to be super helpful. Do you offer A&R feedback on tracks? I have a track that I would love to get some direction on. I know it isn't where it needs to be, but I'm still new to producing and would love some professional guidance.
Thank you Dilby, you are a blessing!
Very simple to understand. Nice content
Thanks bro, glad you found it helpful!
Tracks Sounds incredibly good
Great!

Merci pour cette vidéo. Toujours intéressant de voir et apprendre plusieurs méthodes.
Thank you. Will check it tomorrow. Even ready to do this for a new track. 😉😁

Yoo, nice to hear from you mate ✌️

Hi Maria, glad you liked it! The track is a remix I have done for Hoten. It should be released early next year.

You're welcome bro
Hey man, really enjoying your videos! I am getting a lot of great knowledge that is really helping my mixes sound better. Thanks bro!
How come minimal is so much quieter?
I love you
Very good job. Which Wave Analyzer you use? To see the pink waveform?
It's called Oszillos Mega Scope
@@dilbydjIs there any alternative ? Anything by izotope or fab filter or free plugins?😊
@@federicocamaglia4390 not sure mate. This is the one I use.
Excellent content mate! I noticed you have dither off on the limiter. Do you use dither when DIY mastering like that? If yes, are you using Ableton's one when exporting or the limiter's one? Thanks, love your vids!
Great content. I usually use fab filter pro L and set a cealing of -1Db, is that correct/nexessary ?
I don't think you need a ceiling of -1db I think -.1db would be enough.
do you keep the gain plugin on or turn it off for the final master
Keep it on. If someone else is doing the masters then I will turn off the whole chain. Turning off the gain means the premaster will be - 7db so plenty of headroom for the mastering engineer.

@@dilbydj Ok i'll try to watch it again to understand better. Thanks for your answer and your quality videos
THANK YOU DILBY. Any suggestion for a good studio headphones?

Really helpful!!....Is there any waves or fab filter plugging that works like "standard clip"?
Thank You!!
Not that I know of
What do you think of using limiting/cliping in groups before doing that to the whole track ?
It can be a good tool for sure.
I don't do things like that as a rule. I use it as a tool to solve problems.
😃👌
