Mstering Challenge?

[Ronnie_Rocker]

who would like to try to master some of my tracks? it would be cool to see the differens in every mastering. i master on my little special way. it would be cool to exchange some ideas.

here is one track from the Bleeding demo. one mastered version and one un mastered.

the mastered track:

[~BURNY~]

Bleeding track butchered
lol
Was a fun experience though. Never thought I could match your RMS:zombie:
I have a secret theory: Let the (real) mastering engineer do his job

Hey Ronnie! Sounds awesome mate. Where did you get those 'cheers' remind me of the sort of ones rammstein used a while back. Any chance of getting hold of them or where you got em'

 

[Ermz]

Mastering is definitely one of my weakest points. I think these kind of threads are really cool though... shows everyone's take on the same thing.

Here's my attempt:

My attempt

First time I've played around with Izotope on a proper mix, so it's probably a bit rubbish

Hey...what was the idea behind the double limiter?

 

[pixy]

im a newby but i gave it a shot.
( ps: i mastered it on my 10 dolars 2.1 pc speakers ) :

here it is: http://s38.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=0BOKGCED88MI90QM9VAYMV0DSP

 

[Ronnie_Rocker]

Hey...what was the idea behind the double limiter?

i use two limiters to avoid distortion. and the L3 adds some good coloring to the sound due to the preset in use. if i use the "extreme analog" setting it will compress hard at peaks, and if a use "Loud and proud" i can maximize hard without hardly any compression. the second limiter is just for pushing the volyme even more.

it sounds good! maybe a bit flat?

 

[pixy]

yes, i pushed it al lil hard , and killed the dinamics, but i realized after comparing to the others.

 

[ConspiracyBass]

Heres my attempt.

http://s59.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=1D40OM812ZHXB0QXTMC9FCXZXW

I used Sonitus Eq->Waves C4->PSP Vintage Warmer

I think came out okay.

Vintage Warmer is king! i love that plugin!

 

[Radd]

This is a really cool thread.
Very interesting to hear several different masters of the same song.
I'm lovin' it.
Is everyone here using the C4?
Suicide - Are you using a maximizer like BBE sonic?
They all sound good to me.
Ronnie - Cool song. Reminds me of Morbid Angel and Marilyn Manson (the chants).

 

[A Gruesome Discovery]

Here's mine; kept the limiting to a minimum for a different flavor, and eq'd it in a sort of bright, pop-rock sort of way.
Gruesomely Mastered
Woah, the MP3 is 6.66 MB. I swear that's unintentional.

 

[Suicide_As_Alibi]

Suicide - Are you using a maximizer like BBE sonic?

Er... so I'm a moron and uploaded the wrong version...

But on the one you listened to before, it's all eq. and compression - nothing like BBE etc. Like I said, it's the first time I've properly played around with Izotope and that version was me finding out that the eq. covers a larger scale than I'm used to With the right kind of vocal it would probably sound ok, but I don't normally like things to be THAT scooped

This is the one I meant to put up. It's all Izotope - eq., compression, a touch of the harmonic thing in it, and no limiting.

It sure the hell is. Great to use on a DI bass track or a kick.

[edit: I should mention this song is pretty kick ass!]
