I see your thoughts about head-room, perhaps you should, or could, look into the various types of dynamic variation a particular signal can have-for example, true-peak vs RMS vs LUFS, etc. Hello Kujaboy! Perhaps I could contribute to your's and other's thoughts here: I'll see what happens when I apply these tips to my next mixes.Īny tips related to preparing a mix for mastering are welcome and appreciated. I'm going to try to lower my overall mix volume even more, drop all the master effects and try mastering it then. Second notable tip was to keep headroom and I've been mixing my tracks to -6 dB (volume on the master channel) but it seems to be too much then and only the max peak should be hitting there if at all. First was to leave the master fader (channel) completely empty for the mastering process and I tend to put a lot of EQ (cutting and boosting) there. I did find a blog post about preparing your mix for mastering though and it had a couple of tips that I need to have look at. When I'm using a mastering service, obviously everything is a lot better and powerful compared to my own mastering session but sometimes I get these distorted sounds, the mix seems to be good but the mid-high range is ear clashing on some instruments or distorted right after mastering the track.
I happen to get a very thin overall sound, or as you might say a weak low-end. I don't have education for sound engineering (mixing or mastering) and here are my problems when it comes to mastering.
