This just sounds like a good mic, pop filter, dry room/booth, good pre, volume automation, EQ/filtering, de-essing, compression, parallel...
Just use healthy gain-staging. :dunno: SC are usually always weaker in output compared to HB (unless they are stacked). How you want to gain-level...
ApQualizr2 and Pro-Q3 had a kid.
I like them used, abused, worn, dinged, DIY-burned/scorched and personally adjusted/modded for highest personalized/personification and an...
Just like its hardware sibling, Waldorf Blofeld, it's a bit on the cold side if that's your thing (suiting with the snow falling in the video)....
DMG Audio Compassion? Quote: "Behind the UI lies perhaps the most flexible dynamics engine ever designed." (TrackComp and Presswerk are both...
Define "shiny/sparkly". Are you instead looking for an exciter, or a suggestion on a good exciter?
An analog compressor also have transformers, which will color the sound. Even leaving the compressor in bypass colors the sound enough (some even...
Any GSSL (Gyraf SSL clone) is worth it, no matter who built it. I have two. :like: https://www.gyraf.dk/gy_pd/ssl/ssl.htm
ReCyle still works wonders!
Yep. I'm pretty sure it was Rod (RIP) and Michael who worked out the parts together. We studied the song at university (songwriting, bachelor's...
Sidenote: The "-2dBTP for louder material than -14LUFS" is just a tip/guideline (to completely avoid ISP clipping). Not a rule. Not many MEs abide...
In one of Bruce Swedien's (RIP) boxes on the attic. ;) Damn. The last one/harmony was Jacob Collier territory. :)
No, they removed/disabled the limiter of lower loudness material. https://themasteringshow.com/episode-77/
Again, if you have a song with loudness louder than -14LUFS you can just turn down the gain/fader/volume (to reach -14LUFS) and export it. That...
Velocity-controlled filter cutoff -> Autopanning -> delay/reverb could work. Seems pretty straight-forward.
Not to mention overs/Intersample Peaks.
As a mastering engineer I've only added reverb on the master a few times. That's because it needed it (very very little amount) as a...
-14LUFS is an integrated value over time (the whole duration of the song/track). If you actually want -14LUFS (which you generally don't) you can...
Firstly, it's not penalization. It's an incorrect word and has a negative meaning. It's just loudness normalization (volume reduction) so that all...
Separate names with a comma.
