But if you want to understand more about why you might want to master your music to a certain level (rather than how), read on. If you do want to master to a specified level, Ozone is an incredibly useful tool. In a previous post, we discussed how to master to a specific loudness target (in that case, Spotify’s recommendation) using iZotope’s Ozone 9.

This number is constantly thrown around without much justification beyond the fact that it’s the loudness normalization target that Spotify cites.

Presets are a great way to get the creative juices flowing and use for demos.Illustration: Michael Haddad Let’s just get this out of the way: the answer to “How loud should I master my music?” isn’t always -14 LUFS. We offer a variety of presets for waves, slate, and FabFilter plugins. What we really feel is unique is you can add the option to have Matty mix one of your songs with the template and send it back to you along with a short video from Matty explaining what he did and why.ģ. In the video course, he shows you how to use it with two song examples, and you also get the stems to practice with. In Matty’s course, you get a mixing template to start with using only Slate plugins, so it is cost-effective. Our video course is a bit different than others. You can sign up for a one-time class to ask questions you have or set up a weekly class where we can develop goals for what you are trying to achieve.Ģ. So we wanted to offer something unique that can really help your answer questions.ġ. Watching a video of a mixing engineer mix a well-recorded song doesn’t give you all the answers. However, we feel that the current online education process doesn’t fully help. More and more mixing and mastering are blurring with the production process.
