Hey people!
I think this is the right thread to ask my question. I was wondering if anyone here could give some tips about mastering. I'm able to create some nice trance songs now, but I don't know much about mastering. I know a bit about removing frequencies and stuff, but I still have the problem that my tracks sound different on different sound systems, while professional tracks sound good on all systems!
I have a program called 'T-racks', but I don't know if that's any good? So maybe there is someone here who knows how to give our tracks the finishing touch, so that they sound really professional.
Thanx! |

| this may sound simple to some ppl...If u want a big bottom on a bass drum...raise between 60hz & 100hz...Compression is also needed to get it realy phat... |

Yeah, I already tried compression. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. But I will try the 'raise between 60hz & 100hz' part :) |

just try 2 search for some little odd samples on www.analoguesamples.com
then put a very big reeverb on it.. and put the cutoff pretty low.. the resonaince pretty high.. and put the volume also pretty low.. untill it`s the way u like.. that way u have some nice fx throughout ur track:)

make ones urself, the beep thing is real easy, the "shooting stars" are more complex, u can also record things for that, like a xilophon or something and edit it to make it sound good... |

a lot of times that "shooting star" sound is made with a cymbal crash...
Take 2 copies of the same one, cut off the attack, so only the tail is left, reverse one, and put them back to back. You can put cool effects on it like phaser or pan it around.
If you want a synthesized sound, grab ahold of a sample, or preferably something that will give you a good detuned saw type pad. Make the note long. Slap a filter on the amplitude, with a long attack, no decay or sustain, and tailor the release to taste. |
