Maybe you can keep it simple with just some EQ, LA2A-style compression (slower opto compression) and saturation? [MEDIA]
1) It depends 2) We all do mastering differently and 3) "best" is subjective. After 25 years of doing this (and now working as a ME) I have a...
Kicks usually have pitch envelope, like physical kick drums. Falling in pitch, from when it is being hit/tightened, to a resting frequency. Hence...
Any M/S spectrum analyzer will do, like the free Voxengo SPAN. Just set it to Mid and Sides. Then you use M/S EQ and M/S...
This is another Sage Audio video that makes me go "hmmm....naw" about. Harmonics are not always wanted/added on the fundamentals, but the yummy...

It's easy to create with FM and some lowpass. Quite simple patch. I made this in Surge XT (free synth). Let me know if you need the preset:...
Assign saw/ramp LFO to volume and modulate/play with rate. To get more attack and snappiness you can assign same saw to lowpass filter cutoff (or...
I have my amp set at 75% and then I adjust to a comfortable (conversational) dBSPL loudness with my monitor controller. Same goes for when working...
I never mix towards a meter other than peak (where I look for headroom). Personally I don't think it's a good idea to mix towards a percieved...
We always percieve louder material as "better sounding". Please loudness-match in order to do proper comparison.
Lowpassed Mbira and reverb. Add transient designer to attenuate transient/attack, if needed. It's layered with a synth (pad-ish) that has...
Yeah, the "original" was a clavinet with wah-wah. [MEDIA] [MEDIA]
I mixed and submitted. Pretty bad quality recording. Who doesn't like a challenge?
The trick isn't sidechain compression/ducking, but rather an octave note and some portamento/glide. Make the synth monophonic and add...
This is more like synths and noise layered with "regular" kicks. Try that, if you want to create and design your personal custom sounds.
Maybe you are limiting too much? Is your kick quite loud compared to other elements in your mix? How many dB of reduction do you apply? Do you use...
Synthwave is basically just repetative 8th-notes, or alternating octave 8th-notes. I'm pretty sure your DAW has built-in MIDI/arp plugins that...

No, you can't per se. It's an FFT processor/effect. :) But if you want a 192kbps mp3 you can just export a 192kbps mp3 (which adds some...
