MASTERING WITH JOHNJOHNFM: USING FREE PLUGINS
Hello, hello!
Welcome back to the blog—I'm excited to dive into another mastering session with you all. Lately, I've been posting a lot about mastering, and it’s hard not to when every session is a new adventure!
Today, I'm showcasing a brief mastering demonstration using the FREE plugin Masterdesk Classic by Brainworx. This tool is deceptively simple, yet it works wonders in adding loudness, punch, balance, and width to your mix. Whether you're just starting out or you're a seasoned pro, I highly recommend giving it a try.
In this quick demo video, you'll see how efficiently I can transform a track with just a few subtle tweaks. While mastering often involves complex techniques, sometimes a straightforward approach is all you need to bring out the best in your music.
For those who want to dive a little deeper:
Patreon: Unlock the complete experience by accessing both the original mix and the mastered version on my Patreon for just $5. This not only supports my work but also gives you hands-on files to study and experiment with.
A Quick Lesson in Mastering:
Mastering is all about finding the perfect balance. With tools like Masterdesk Classic, you're learning the art of subtle enhancement—boosting certain frequencies, managing dynamics, and ensuring your mix translates well across various playback systems. Remember, sometimes a few well-placed adjustments can make a significant difference.
