Are you one of the folks out there who's never tried to master their own music? Or has and cringed?
The big problem here is a lack of awareness of the mastering process and what it's capable of.
I think people are scared of trying to master their own music and the perception is that it's so complicated they don't even try.
For that reason, I'm starting to publish my full mastering sessions as videos. I peel back the veil and let you see the entire process. Check the card and link below this video to see my mastering sessions.
I didn't always master music for a living, but, pretty early on I started to try my hand at doing my own test masters.
As soon as I started making test masters of my own music, my mixing skills took a huge level up.
Why? Because as soon as you run your mix into a limiter, it'll shine a bit spotlight on a ton of errors in your mix.
So even if you don't want to master your own music, try this. Take your mix, run it into a limiter and increase the gain into the limiter until you reach the same loudness level as your reference track.
Then A/B back and forth. Does your master sound like a piece of hot garbage in contrast? Then go back to the mix.
What do you do in the mix? What's the problem? Watch THIS video on the biggest mistake in mixing.
