    Hi Pete - thanks for your feedback. Now that I can operate Final Touch, I feel like a rocket scientist. Final Touch really does enhance a final mix to a 'radio ready' quality sounding recording. Just in passing (regarding no master volume on Garage Band for iPad), what I found that works rather well is to push FX button, then visual EQ while your song is playing. Then lower the gain on the right of the screen until the yellow pulses in the volume switch at the top of the screen disappears so that only the green pulses remain. Do this for all the yellow peaks throughout the entire song. Then leave FX and return to the actual song. You will see only green pulses in the volume switch at the top of the screen. You can now raise the volume of this switch as high as possible and there won't be any yellow pulses, only the green pulses will appear (at any volume). Once again, thank you for your series of videos, they have been indispensable to my learning how to use Garage Band and Final Touch. Best wishes - Patrick.

    An excellent demonstration of limiting versus normalisation. Thanks Pete!
    I've been trying to use Grand Finale on some of my final mixes. But no matter what I do, I always seem to get a sausage-like waveform when using the presets. Of course, they also often sound good, but they are very compressed and all dynamics are squeezed out. I need to find a way to raise the overall volume without losing the dynamic range completely. Maybe I've just seen how........🤔?

    • @PeteJohnsMusic
      @PeteJohnsMusic  Před 4 lety +2

      Yes, using a simple limiting approach like this is often best if you already have a mix that you like. I agree that whole Grand Finale is good, it can be a little aggressive. I often need to turn down the input gain quite a bit to retain any dynamic range.

    Instead of AudioShare you can use iOS VoiceMemo, import the WAV file, then "Edit", then you can visualise approximately the same thing. Not as convenient as AudioShare, but that's an option :)

    @OfficialPaulStillo Před 2 lety +1

    Hi Pete - it's been a while...hope you're doing well! I have another question regarding mastering. Have you ever mastered a project that only had one instrument? ie, if you were to release a solo piano recording, would you still go through the process of exporting/importing the recording as a WAV and then applying the peak limiter to it? Or could you skip those additional steps and simply add the limiter as a plug-in directly to the piano track? Would you still use your FX "hack" and reduce the "master" volume by 5dB? Or could you simply reduce its level with the volume slider on the left? In my scenario, I am simply using the internal classical grand piano sound in GB and use the online Loudness Penalty Analyzer when I'm done. If I don't go through any of your mastering steps, I find that my track will be raised by 8-12 dB by the various streaming services. If I master it, I get a better result in the penalty analyzer, but I find the piano sounds a bit too "brash". How can I make the piano sound "big", but not be right in your face? I use reverb, but still can't seem to get it to sound right. :( Apologies for another long-winded comment, but would love to hear your take on this. Thank you!

    • @PeteJohnsMusic
      @PeteJohnsMusic  Před 2 lety

      Hey Paul. Great question! First up, full disclosure, this isn’t something I have a lot of experience with.
      In short, the limitation you’re going to get with a solo piano is that it will be a little low on overall gain which is why mastering will help to lift the overall average volume level BUT has the downside of reducing some of the dynamic range.
      What I’ve done in the past is some very light limiting. Really just normalising to ensure the volume is brought up to the 0dB level at its peaks. If you limit or compress too much you’ll lose your dynamic range and it will sounds too boomy and overloaded. It’s a balancing act for sure.

    • @OfficialPaulStillo
      @OfficialPaulStillo Před 2 lety

      @@PeteJohnsMusic Thanks for such a quick reply! To clarify.. when you say "just normalising", are you referring to GB's auto-normalise function (ie, you wouldn't use your FX hack in this instance to just let GB render the track louder)?

  • @OfficialPaulStillo
    @OfficialPaulStillo Před 4 lety +1

    Hello again! I had watched your other video on mastering. Interesting that in this one, you import your wave file as a different track in your original GB session! As an added bonus, you can probably use the solo/mute button to A/B the original and the mastered versions without having to jump around. I wanted to ask about Apple's auto-normalization. You explained the nuances between simply raising the volume vs Apple's auto-normalization vs raising the volume via the limiter, but do you think that Apple's auto-normalization was intended to essentially help you avoid mastering? Also, when you share your mastered file in GB, does it not get auto-normalized again by Apple to create the new wav file? Cheers.

    • @PeteJohnsMusic
      @PeteJohnsMusic  Před 4 lety +1

      Hey Paul. Yep, there are a lot of nuances to consider here related to mastering and normalising. The volume move is to basically reduce the number of peaks and overall level so you can then turn down the volume and add the limiter. It’s a bit of a hack but creates good results.
      If you want to go deep down the rabbit hole, I talk mixing and mastering and cover a heap of options in my recent series where I recorded and released me new EP - czcams.com/play/PLc8Xg_23Wa559_G8_OC-dgQXqGLG-Kak4.html

    Is there the same reason to import the WAV file to the same project file instead of a new one?
    With a new project, you would end up with a less heavy file. I don't see what is the benefit to have it in the same project file, as it the WAV track won't update anyway if you change the other tracks.

      So the maximum tracks in GarageBand iOS is 32. If you want to add more you’ll need to merge some tracks together. This video has some tips. czcams.com/video/imcgX2bW8rk/video.html

    So when I’m content with a master track.. I’m just a little confused.. maybe I missed it in the video. Been pausing and going back and forth in the video. What do you do with the imported wav file? Do you leave it on with the other tracks, to create a dubbing effect? Is that the right word? I’m just lost at where the track becomes a complete song? Do I export the tracks and wave file together(not on solo), as a song? I’ve got a bunch of tacks that I thought were finished(only because none of my tacks were peaking.. I found out about the peak limiter through this video, and dropping to -0.5db like you mentioned.. and when do I turn off the FX +0.5db for the track when exporting as a song? Does all that I’m asking about even matter? Lol

    Is a professional metering plugin available for iOS/iPad? I have not been able to find one (something like the free TBProAudio mvMeter2 which unfortunately has no iOS version).

    • @mrgshadrick
      @mrgshadrick Před rokem +1

      Looking specifically for a LUFS meter for GarageBand iOS/iPad. YouLean LM Light is free and will at least display LUFS readings. You have to upgrade to Pro to see graphs and access the online streaming presets. Lifetime access to Pro version is currently $19.99 which unless I can find something comparable I will probably do the upgrade 9although the free light version is probably enough for my purposes for now).

      Yep, you sure can. You just need a 3.5mm stereo to 2 x TRS mono cable to split out the stereo signal then just plug them in to the UR22mkII, set up two tracks and you’re good to go.
      Here’s a link to one that I’ve used before for this. You can pick up cheaper ones but you can get what you pay for sometimes with cables, especially super cheap ones - amzn.to/2WLIQJE

      Pete Johns I have another question for you. I’m on IPhone XR and am currently in the process of releasing a single through Distrokid. I tried exporting the file for the track on the Distrokid website but it apparently doesn’t allow me to do it straight off my iPhone. Is there any way for me to export the track (GarageBand wav file) to a google chrome book (laptop).

    • @PeteJohnsMusic
      @PeteJohnsMusic  Před 4 lety

      Yes, DistroKid sadly doesn’t like you uploading using a mobile browser so it is best to send it to Windows or Mac.
      If you have iTunes installed you can sync your phone and use iTunes File Sharing to transfer files.
      The quicker (and easier in my opinion) is to use WiFi. I use the AudioShare app to transfer files and it works really well. It costs a couple of dollars but is a seriously useful app and well worth the investment.
