plugin for fast mastering?

[MultiM]

hey guys:
I'm not really good at mastering and mixing, especially drums, I have a lot of equalizers and compressors but I don't know how to use them right,
so until I get professional, is there any programs that have presets, for example:I want metal kick.....BAM! here it is! or for guitar or bass.
I've heard about waves one knob, is there any other programs?

ezmix

I've forgot to mention I have EZMix, good but not the best for mastering.

If you want to be pro, there's only way: start to learn how to tweak and practice, practice and practice. Buy and read http://www.systematicproductions.com/mixing-guide.htm instead of wasting money on any one knobs etc.

^seriously. Buy that. And don't try to speed through the mastering process. It will not help the music.

Best plugin: Grab about 1000~1600 bucks and hire a real master guy (Bob Katz pricezz)

The irony of this post based on your first....

You can try iZotope Ozone, has a bunch of mastering presets.

Get a job and pay a professional to do it. Will save you no end of headaches trying to do it all yourself and getting sub par results.

1. If this is for a band/solo album get someone else to do it
2. If you want to get into it properly, read, research, listen, learn over a long time.
3. If its for a demo or something and you don't have a lot of money, for mastering, Ozone - Presets, if that's STILL too much, some great free plugs, L2007 limiter, stillwell Bombadier compressor, Bootsy Baxter Master EQ, Bootsy Tesla Saturation, Stillwell Event Horizon Limiter, Bootsy LA leveler. Any combination of those should do, Gmulti, Gclip.

Stay away from EZ mix, its very much dependent on good source sounds, that's why guys like Ola Englund can make it sound snazzy, and every youtube djent kid sounds terrible with it, and good source sounds translate to the mix, the mix to master.

Seen as you asked for mastering advice in the title, I'll ignore the part about mixing and the random Kick Drum.

Mastering is a multiple task and includes many different processes, if you just want to get "loud" use whatever limiter you have included in your DAW. Very important advice, don't try to compete with professionals but know where you must stop because you'll be degrading the sound. Better sound good but quiet than loud and distorted / pumping.

honestly Slate Fgx is pretty simple to use as long as you don't go overboard with some of the knobs. if you have an ilok download the demo and check it out.

Put that on your master, drop the Treshold till it don't go anymore, then try dropping it some more. Ceiling of 0.0 and fastest release time. DONE!

Ozone. Make sure you read up on Mid/Side processing.

done thanks man, awesome

It was a joke, man!

But really, W1 is a great free limiter. Supposedly very, very close to L1. Except there is no metering.

Even if I had no idea what a limiter was, this would have been a dead give away. I'm in awe.
