      Hi sample-genie forum! I have a suggestion for the topic of the tutorials. I’ve been subscribed since april 2015 and there’s a ton of tutorials about bass and drum design, processing and mixing, as well as many other things. I have learned a lot from those tutorials to the point of making solid tracks and mixdowns, but i’ve noticed that i lack of knowledge when i want to master a track. There is not a specific, full on tutorial about mastering in this website, which is a really crucial point in bass music. With that said i (and i’m pretty sure i’m not the only one) would like to have a tutorial dedicated specifically about mastering, it’s stages and what to expect/have in mind at the time of doing it.
      What do you guys think?
      Cheers!!

      Hey Architekt, What do you want to get from mastering? The problem with a mastering tutorial is that it is totally track specific in regards to the processing you would do. In saying that. I would be keen to see how others do it too haha. I think a cool idea would be to get a short video from each producer showing how they do it and compile them into one video. I think keeping it simple at the start can have the best outcome. I just use a bit of Eq, saturation, limiting and sometimes 1-2db max clipping.

      It would be great, if they do a specefic video about mastering, for them to explain it as generically as possible. What “rule of thumb” they use to get the maximum volume and what things to aim for, what things to avoid. In all the tutorials I’ve seen from BSE, Neonlight, etc they do a brief explanation in the last 10 minutes or so (bse states that they don’t like to process the master channel too much), so it would be cool to have a whole video about it. Maybe it could be one of those Part 2 tutorials that maybe last 20 minutes or so.

      Yea man that would be cool. Ive seen that bse video also it was pretty sweet. Another video is the rockwell one from digitallabz and then the one from icicle on loopmasters i think.

      yeah good shout – Maybe some DIY mastering tips if needing to rip a track quickly for radio/club and possibly some suggestions prior to sending tracks to be professionally mastered?

        Totally. That’s the kind of info I thought would be really useful and innovative around this site. I think it’s a good addition considering there is a lot of tutorials of the same topic. (I also understand that bass design and sound design is a really deep rabbit hole and require much more tutorials hehe)
