"THANK YOU for your E-books. The information on mixing drums ALONE was well worth the money. I would listen to other peoples "mixes" which were typically a lot of guesswork, reapply using your principles, and come out with a far better product each time. The most recent song that I did sounds SOOO good, you can hear all the instruments clearly, there's no mud, the drums are tight and punchy, the kick is dead on, and the Toms are deep and thunderous."
Thanks a lot, Bjorgvin Benediktsson.... Kindly allow me to over-estimate your importance in the growth of my musical career from an amateur into a pro... Your information has really molded my production skills into what my clients today call good music... Thanks a lot and keep up the good work.

I remastered my track with the Hitsville Mastering EQ from UA, I also used the LA-3A Audio Leveler and LA2 compressor. I think these plugins are far superior to Waves plugins. Maybe I was lucky but it sounds incredible I think, its airy, clear, frsch, alot of punsch. I usually am not very happy with my mixing/mastering but this was really nice. I have a trial for the UA-plugins its just a few usd/month, I have not tested them all but also the synts are exciting. Its pro-gear, or what are your opinions? -hhUzoYH0?si=grEmron26jVhWLVB
i saw a comparison video of some waves,uad,and other emulated plugins and real UA hardware ,i think it was 1176 and LA2A, and the test by ear and scopes showed that waves actually behaved an sounded more like the hardware then the other plugins and they mentioned even then the uad plugin which made the tested hardware . it was a YT video
Just know that the way brands conduct themselves have huge ramifications. Waves tried to go subscription only. That says they need money. were willing to step on their customers to get it.
UAD take time and sometimes years to develop. Although they had issues with the ecosystem they have taken time to do a excellent port on more and more of their plugins.
Minimal audio did it with current and almost got destroyed.
If a brand has the ability to make a product sound better and be lighter on CPU + it takes hackers to show them and then they get angry at hackers for exposing them. That tells me your customers are not priority.
I would not assume the intentions behind your text. I understand the response to be defensive but please be impartial.
I wanted to share this because there is so much confusion around the internet on what mastering really is. "Mastering is making your track loud." "Mastering is part of mixing; the engineer always mixes and masters." "Mastering is when you put these six plugins on your master channel."
I can see where the confusion stems from. It's really hard to describe a process that may be different every time, or may occasionally be doing nothing at all. And it's something that even the masters of mastering, while giving useful tips on what they do, don't really cover the essence of what mastering actually is in simple terms.
But before we start:
What Isn't Mastering?
A mastering engineer does something different every time. And he doesn't know what needs to be done until he hears the song.
When you tune a guitar, not every string needs to be tightened: some may need to be loosened, and some may need to be left as is. And when a string needs to be tightened, more tightening isn't always better than less. After all, the goal of tuning isn't to tighten all strings by arbitrary amounts. Of course, the goal is to have all strings in tune, tightened just enough to ring true on specific notes.
Likewise, mastering a song doesn't require the same action for all songs. But of course, mastering is more complex than tuning a guitar, because a machine can't determine the subjective qualities of what makes a good song in the same way that a machine can determine good tuning, and because mastering covers many variables instead of the one variable per string of tuning a guitar.
Let's explore a few of these variables:
Examples of What a Mastering Engineer Might Do
We are beginning to see that the mastering engineer compensates for having a less-than-stellar mixing engineer. This can be a big part of a mastering engineer's job, but what if the mix engineer is talented?
Making Sense of This
Can you master your own music? Well, yes and no.
"No" in that it's really hard for the person who mixed the song to know how to overcome his own biased preferences on frequency balance and mix balance. Also, it's really hard for the person who mixed the song to give the song what it needs to sound good on every stereo and set of headphones, not just his own playback system in his own room.
And "yes" in that an engineer can do what needs to be done to a song to make it loud and clean and problem free on his own. But he may need to compensate by abandoning the song for a while to gain fresh ears for it. Or to use many reference tracks to keep the balance and dynamics and mix of the song in perspective. Or to listen to the song on many different playback systems in different spaces to be sure the song effectively translates to other systems.
None of these workarounds are as ideal as sending your song to a trusted master of mastering with a superb system in a superb room, but it can get you a lot closer. And this is important for people who can't afford to hire a mastering engineer for their music.
Clear As Mud?
I wish I could provide a clear, step-by-step outline of what a mastering engineer does. Instead, all I can do is make clear why that isn't possible.
My hope is that my examples offered some perspective on why mastering is so important despite it being something that one can't specifically explain. And it goes without saying that I hope the examples above can give you, my reader, some perspective on what kinds of problems a mastering engineer may fix. So that you can learn to avoid these problems before sending your music off to mastering or deciding to master your music yourself.

Now go make some music!
Aliasing and intermodulation distortion can happen in any non-linear analog circuit or algorithm. In the analog domain, there is no hard limit to the frequency spectrum, only the limitations of the components or the intentional design of the circuit, for example a brickwall low pass filter (that can introduce ring modulation) or a limiter circuit.
Any schmuck can use the stock compressors, eqs and limiters on their daw (and frankly, if they know what they are doing, get spectacular results), but the really cool mix engineers who consider themselves artists before engineers know how to apply saturation to give a recording warmth, glue and character. These people may or may not have beards, are trying to quit smoking (again), wear a variety of interesting hats, drink artisanal whiskey and sometimes wear slightly ironic clothing items that only they understand. In other words, these are people I can relate to who are at least trying to contribute something interesting to society.
