If you don’t it’s a good time to start learning how!

Even if you use outside mastering, self mastering is quickly becoming a skill set that modern engineers need to have a good grasp of. At some point you’re going to be asked to master something you mixed and you better know how!

In this clip, Joey Sturgis explains mastering compression as he sets up stereo and multi-band compression on the mastering chain for a Vesta Collide song called “Seven”.

This clip is taken from an 8+ hour long Nail the Mix stream where Joey Sturgis mixed the entire song while answering questions from the audience!

Topics Covered:

  • His methods of snare replacement
  • How to cut up drums into different tracks
  • How he organizes a session for an efficient workflow
  • Controlling low end with multi-band compression
  • Integrating synth into a dense metal mix
  • How to make a snare room for a bombastic snare sound
  • and much much much much more!
