    Even if I really appreciate your effort, from https://www.cambridge-mt.com/ms/mtk-faq/

    Can I use these multitracks to produce video tutorials?

    ... if the tutorial itself is ‘monetized’ in any way (perhaps by including adverts or other promotional devices), then please contact the relevant multitrack contributors directly for permission.

    Since YT changed its rules, this may get you in trouble.

    I just copied the short phrase (one or two words) from the second verse.

    Thanks for sharing. Quick tip for pro Q3 instead of going into a menu to enable dynamics just go to the gain knob and pull down or just use your mouse scroller wheel on the dynamic bit. Ctrl click to reset if on windows.

    Totally makes sense, I have pulled it off YT and changed the link in my post to a link on my dropbox.

    Good looking out!

    On mine I deleted the glitch part then used melodyne to stretch the note next to it to fill the gap

    I was so busy yesterday. I was gonna say "i hope i couldn't missed so much", but a couple new master's uploaded here and one nice video explanation. I am gonna listen all of 'em and i think i am gonna throw another mix and master here with stems (maybe another topic i don't know). So we can practice and listen many more approaches all over again. Thank you for your efforts,Great job!

    The old time stretch trick. I use it often to lengthen the end of a guitar or vocal phrase.

    AO Lovend has very unique EQ shape (a bit strange, TBH) and sound (pretty hard).

    I just was watching a mastering tutorial so used your song to master along with it. Could I get some feedback. Cheers.

    Sounds nice for what the sources were like.

    A bit hi-fi smiley (big rum - large sparkles) I appreciate that you kind of stopped at around CD loudness and didn't push it any further. The louder parts are well done almost flat but a bit bright.

    Honestly unless you spent a lot of time redoing the mix, I think you've got it about as nice as you are going to get with allowances for personal taste. There are some things that could have been done different but not in post and since we not looking at the mix itself, that is a moot point.

    Good job man.

    Wow thanks for listening and taking the time to comment JMOUTTON! I've never mastered someone elses track before so not that sure. I'm also mainly mixing on a small bluetooth portable speaker with adam a7x in untreated room so def not sure.
    I thought I better not go too loud, I mainly used the OP master they done as a reference as I thought it must be what they were wanting.
    I've been spending too much time watching tutorials and not doing them but the tutorial I watched used Waves aphex vintage aural exciter in parallel. That was interesting.
    Thank you for the feedback.

    I believe there is some misunderstanding here what mastering is all about.

    The aim of mastering is to ensure that an audio recording will sound the best it can on all platforms. After mastering, audio should sound well polished: natural, uniform, vivid and well balanced.

    It includes:

    1. Audio restoration - removing unwanted hisses, clicks, pops, dips and buzz/hum, DC offset, harshness, transient hardness, clippings, and any other mistakes (de-essing, etc.).
    2. EQ-ing - correcting of spectral imbalances.
    3. Balancing of harmonic content.
    4. Stereo enhancement - removing stereo offset, and eventually widening the mix. It also should tighten centre image by focusing the low-end spectrum, and remove excessive reverberation.
    5. Removing negative correlation in stereo recordings.
    6. Compression - controlling of maximum levels and achieving higher average loudness.
    7. Loudness and limiting.
    8. (eventual) Bit depth reduction and sample rate conversion.
    9. Sequencing and spacing of tracks for an album.

    People here seem to concentrate almost solely on points 2 and 7.
