Chapter 19 Mastering Entry - Posted on 2017-05-16 by Ryan Medlen

Well I suppose what I mostly learned from this chapter is that there is even more layers to music I was unaware of! I never knew that there are specific mastering engineers who put the final touch on tracks before reaching an audience and air waves. Now I know mastering is way above my skill level at this point but I did find the information useful as to how to have my tracks ready for a master. A couple tips Josh gave me were to make sure I leave space for the master to work, More than 3db of limiting is probably too much on a song, and to turn my ceiling down on my limiters .01db and that will save me from a lot of clipping issues later. I'd like to make the work as easy as possible on the master engineers and to keep a good relationship with them if possible so i definitely plan on following his advice!
