If you’re new to Sage Audio, we’ve been providing industry-leading audio engineering services and education for over two decades and created this channel to help you make professional songs.
This is the most underrated CZcams channel for music production.
Most important thing about mastering is, that your mix has to be at least decent in the first place!
I’d take your comment to another level.. the mix should be as good as possible. That includes balancing dynamics, frequencies, and width as appropriate. As a mastering engineer I’ve had clients ask me to redo their mastered track because it wasn’t loud enough. Truth is, I couldn’t make it louder because the mix didn’t allow me to without ugly distortion/pumping
@@shoonrobben733 I agree! But for somebody just starting out mastering (so probably the average viewer) you cant expect the mix to be great, so i figured id word it less drastically!
BOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!!!
The mix has to be good not decent. Lying to noobs and lowering the bar doesn't help them.
@@Craftmaster3 You seem a little upset, calm down, i was just trying to make a helpful point and i think that came across.
Sir, I just want to say how grateful I am for the amazing content you continuously upload. You always offer great tips and insights which I can directly try out for myself. I love your way of presenting the information - straight to the point and no unnecessary words. Also, your editing is very pleasing. So professional! Thank you
Sage audio has some of the best audio engineering video tips on CZcams 🤞 thanks for helping me make my mixes better
Thanks for watching and we're sorry to hear that! Have you logged into the account you created when uploading the song? Often times the sample is there. If not, please let us know and we'll ensure you get your free mastered sample!
@@sageaudio I appreciate the response, maybe that’s what happened. I was expecting to receive it via email so my apologies for not checking that first. I’ll revise my comment. I’ve found a mastering engineer since that happened a while back, thank you for the response again and I really appreciate your videos. Subscribed 🤝
@@sageaudio you're great
The most useful video for this topic
I like to clip right after eq...... add a little distortion and gets the signal ready for further compression and saturation
Weiss has some great Plugins!!
THANKS SAGE AUDIO i just want to learn more from you...
Sage audio the busy works beats of engineering he makes it so easy no excuse not to be great
song was vibin
Thanks for watching!
"anytime we in the booth theres a fire hazard" i luld
Sage always got the goods and I love thats its plugins I have.
Brilliant as always! Thanks.
Thank you for sharing your wonderful knowledge dear friend.
Man you have some next level knowledge 🔥
Yo what’s the background music? Sounded pretty fire
真的非常有用啊~~谢谢分享！！
Why didn’t you cut everything below 25hz with proq3. Love your channel Just curious.
This is good but the ads are killing me
Can you do an extended video on automation in the master chain?
Amazing content.Thank you!
This is the first time i saw someone put a De-Esser on a mastering chain, iv'e used it for years on my vocal chain.
Is this wrong or can it be used for both?
It can be used for both! In fact, there are mastering-specific de-essers. One of my personal favorites is the Weiss Deess by Softube!
The only one I’ve found who can explain what the inflator actually does 🤣 smart
Thanx for awsome video!
i love your videos
Multiband compressor for tonal balance in mastering has been missing in your tutorial.
you should use a MBC further in mixing, because if you got a tonal imbalance on your rendered files, you don't want to go back and analyze for hours where you missed out on it. The mastering is the final step, when you are ready to print your song.
@@TraxtasyMedia I get you. A plug-in like waves linear multiband compressor should not miss in a master chain. It maintains a frequency balance throughout the performance which to me is a must have for that final pro level sound.
What about stereo tools,multiband comp and maximizer?
A1StereoControl and Limiter 6.
Great video
Saturation or compressor first for fuller mix?
Does anyone know where to get the cis dsp factory plug in?
What’s the name of the song though? 🔥
What’s the difference between this and ozone elements?
Could u guys please make a video about setting levels and mixbus proccesing?
Still confused on your first master bus? Are all your channels bussed into it otherwise how is it getting any signal to master?
this the hardest song you had on the channel
Also am I crazy to think that only 1db of compression is pretty much pointless....... to me it feels like a placebo its way to stubtle to matter
Yes this is a such a bad video for newbie who wants to learn
Can you do a studio tour?
Can you make a video on how to master a song in fl studio and include Maximus
why cant i hear alot of hes examples he shows example here 2:23
More stock Plugins Logic pro
that's what I'm talking about
uhhh... the name of my channel didn't come out of nowhere...
I want to learn the art of mastering
So less of the technical and more of the creative side?
a lot of your changes or demos i can never hear whats being added
🙆
Trak 3:08???)

Loudness comes from mixdowns!!
if mix is not engaging and clean enough, you could slap on unlimited amount of processors and achieve nothing but exaggerated version of the same shity mix 😂
you are right, but i think the reality is a bit different from the ideal state, a lot of mastering engineers receive imperfect mixes and they need tu use their sorcery to make the single .wav premaster sound good, even tho a great mixdown is a path to a great master, there is still something that can be saved during the mastering process
@@ancestralvision That's correct bro, lot of things can be done in mastering stage to improve the overall impact of the record!!
Having said that ,having full control of the peaks in Mixing is essential for me because while mastering, peaks can get overwhelming real fast.
Well, it's my personal opinion and I respect how other engineers go about fixing the same issues in their own respective ways 🙏
You said your mixing is free now you want 54 dollars before you unlock the master
Thanks for watching! We only perform mastering, not mixing.

@@sageaudio I mastering. But you people's said it's free later the preview come and ask of 54 dollars unlock the master
@@isthalfshow5083 Bro it clearly says a sample you get for free xd
Great video, but why do Americans add "ality" to words? It's just "emotion", not "emotionality" 😂
New subscriber here! Really enjoyed the video. It'd really help my channel.
