You may have asked yourself, "which plug-ins are the best for
mastering?"
If that's you, you might also be asking the WRONG question.
This is the question you should ask yourself:
What do I have that I can use to make my music sound the best?
The best [Insert Plug-in here] is the one you have (or can to spend money on).
A better question to ask is:
What Plug-ins Do I Need?
If you only have stock plug-ins to work with, then that's where you'll have to start - and that's FINE!
If you have money to spend on fancy premium plug-ins then all the power to you. Go nuts buying the latest and greatest, but just remember that it's not the plug-ins that make your mixes sound like mastered records, it's the way you use them.
And for that, you need the knowledge you'll gain in this course.
However, you will still need certain processors (plug-ins) in order to master your mixes, but it's likely that you already have them inside your DAW.
If you're familiar with the Step By Step Mixing book, you'll know that I make sure you understand how the most important processors work so that you can get great results fast.
For my Master Your Mixes course, I almost decided to call it: Mastering With 3 Plug-ins because the most important plug-ins you will need are:
- Linear-Phase EQ
- Multi-Band Compression
- Limiting
Other common tools include:
- Saturation
- Stereo Widening
Along with the necessary metering tools we've already talked about in a previous email, you're good to start mastering your mixes, even if you don't have the latest and greatest gear on the market.
And if you're wondering how on Earth you can get your mixes sounding loud, punchy, and powerful like your favorite records so that you can confidently release your mixes KNOWING that they compare to pro music, my Master Your Mixes program will help.
