for clarity, try a subtle boost in the ~4 kHz to ~6 kHz range, with perhaps a slight cut in the lower mid range (around 262-523 Hz)


I agree a lot with you Atlantis-AR but I was always teached that mastering is different from track to track...and if you are a pro as you say in your signature then I believe saying some exact ranges is just hmmmm...not good to say it "correctly"

I'm not saying you're talking lies...but I think there could just be many opinions on it...can you proove me that actually these ranges work on every track:?

Pro? I don't think we can ever be pro. There's always something new to learn. Samplecraze especially made a valid point that I had never really thought about.

And of course mastering is different from track to track. I certainly don't use a preset on every track I master, but work them from the ground up. I'm not quite sure where you're refering to me mentioning an 'exact' range though. If you mean 262-523 Hz, I was only refering to the fourth octave between C and C, but of course this area could extend lower or higher as well. They're always going to be approximate ranges.

Put an end to the loudness war. Don't limit or compress your mixdown until mastering; leave the master channel alone.

Contact me for mastering.

of course we can be pro...pro is short for professional. There are pro football players, but they can't learn more?
