Mastering with AI Mastering Assistant
Welcome to this next lesson in this lesson. We'll explore mastering and exporting your track. Let's dive into mastering basics using master assistant and exporting your first project mastering is the final step in music production, focusing on optimizing the overall sound quality and preparing the track for distribution. Key tasks include increasing loudness of the track, playing EQ and compression, enhancing stereo imaging and adding final touches to ensure the mix translates well across different playback systems. Mastering to a high standard is a very in depth process which we're not going to look at in detail. In this course, Logic Pro for ipad offers the master assistant which can help get your track up to a standard for distribution quickly while it's not perfect master assistants. Use of A I is a fantastic and relatively new tool to the music production world to use master assistant. Simply go to the stereo output channel on your mixer and click on where it says mastering in the...
effects like area. And this will enable master assistance logic pro will then analyze your mix and suggest settings based on its analysis. Let's now open up and view the master assistant by clicking on the plug in and selecting show details. Once activated, the master assistant analyzes the audio material in your project including its frequency content dynamics and overall spectral balance. Based on the analysis. The master assistant suggests adjustments to various parameters such as EQ compression and limiting these adjustments are tailored to optimize the audio for a balanced professional sounding master. After the initial suggestions are made, you have the option to customize and fine tune the settings according to their preferences. This allows for flexibility and control over the mastering process ensuring that the final resort meets a desired artistic vision. Ok. So let's play this back now and draw and play back. I'll bypass the master assistant plug in. So you should be able to hit a difference when the plugins enabled and bypassed. Let's now have a look at some of the ways you can tweet the master after master assistant has offered its initial suggestions for broad changes to the character and tone of your track. Go to the character section at the top left of the window. There are four options, clean, valve punch and transparent, clean and transparent are quite similar. Their focus on preserving the sound of your mix while increasing the loudness and providing clarity in your master valve offers a more vintage tone to your master, reducing the top end and adding warmth punch focuses on boosting the transients of your master, which will make the drums punch more in the track. The EQ section of the master assistant makes suggestions for boosts and cuts of your whole track across the frequency spectrum. Based on the analysis you can add or reduce the extent to which these boosts and cuts take place on your master by moving the slider on the left up or down by tapping the custom EQ tab at the bottom left. You can also add a low shelf, high shelf and beq to further customize the master. It's worth noting that these changes are very broad and should be used to shape the tone of your master rather than for fine tuning. The dynamic section of the master assistant fine tunes. The limiter limiters work in a similar way to compressors and are used by mastering engineers to increase the perceived loudness in logic pro for ipad, the loudness style makes the master louder or quieter bear in mind that higher loudness reduces a dynamic range of your track, which is the difference between the loudest and quietest part of the track. The spread section determines how wide your master is increasing. The width will push the information on the left and right sides of your track further to the left and right and reducing this dull narrows the master, the bypass button turns the master assistant on and off. So you can't observe the changes you're making the loudness compensation button balances out the input and output of the master assistant. So you can easily compare the effects of the master assistant without large increases in volume as this can make the comparison more difficult. Overall, the master assistant in logic pro streamlines the mastering process by providing intelligent suggestions and customisable options allowing users to achieve professional quality results with ease. Ok. So that's the essentials of mastering with a master assistance. Next, we'll have a look at exporting which we'll cover in the next video. So thanks for watching and I'll see you there.
