Ja, jag vet, förra posten var också en länk till Ian Stewart. Sue me. I vilket fall, en mycket bra beskrivning av relationen mellan bra ljud och dynamik inom elektronisk dansmusik. http://ianstewartmusic.us/blog/edm-mixing-mastering
Jag har tillsammans med Ian Stewart och Christoph Hoppe-Thiele, 2 masterings-kollegor, gjort en jämförelse mellan de olika plugins som emulerar Shadow Hills Mastering Compressor. Resultatet postades av Ian på hans blogg och här är kort och gott länken dit! http://ianstewartmusic.us/blog/shmc-shootout
Just nu finns en programserie av Anders Olsén som handlar om ljud på SR.se. I del 2 förklaras i lite mindre tekniska ordval vad Loudness War är och varför det är dumt att eftersträva “högt” i mastring. Lyssna och lär! http://sverigesradio.se/sida/avsnitt/613255?programid=4112
Det händer mycket just nu, Saintpids nya studio i Högdalens industriområde är färdigbyggd och igång. Det kommer nya bilder framöver men vi väntar tills byggdammet har lagt sig. Det nya rummet är mycket bättre akustikbehandlat vilket resulterat i helt fenomenal lyssning. Till skillnad från förra studion så återger det nya rummet lågbas väldigt mycket bättre vilket hörs […]
Many streaming services (most actually) have some kind of loudness compensation. What is that? It’s a little robot with a more or less advanced gain knob who adjust the level between songs so that they hit your ear with about the same pressure/volume. Right now different services use their own system. Spotify, iTunes, Beatport, Youtube… […]
It’s always hard to go into detail about what a mastering engineer does, everyone understand that you try to enhance the audio in different ways but as soon you try to explain how it start to get complicated because every sound is different. Here’s a video that show the enhancement bit where very small changes add […]
I love this plugin, it made my life so much easier. It has a button that flatten out the frequency response of my HD650 so everything that is done with headphones sound exactly the same on my main monitors, sick stuff. Even better is that it is made entirely for me and my workflow! Everyone should […]
This actually seem true and it is amazing. They have chosen a louder standard than iTunes which is sad but that might change in the future. I’m not going to rant about it when others do it so exceptional well (I’m just going to sit here and be happy about it). http://towerofdoom.net/audiogeek-youtube-started-normalizing-audio-uploads/ http://productionadvice.co.uk/youtube-loudness/ http://productionadvice.co.uk/youtube-loudness-normalisation-details/
Here’s the first plugin in a series of mastering tools for Windows developed in co-lab between Saintpid and Noisebud. http://www.noisebud.se Evouyn measure the amount of low end in a mix and gives you a hint if it’s too much or too little. It’s donation-ware and will cost you anything from $4 – $30. Get it here: http://www.noisebud.se/?download=noisebud-donation-versions
This week I’ve mastered a bunch of tracks in different genres and they all shared similar problems, there where energy build ups that the artist or mix engineer probably didn’t hear or thought sound fat. I tried to explain the effect of this in mastering and how to use a VU meter to avoid the situation but I […]
