►► Want to know if your track is ready for mastering? Download my mastering checklist here: https://bit.ly/3Ud24EA. In this video, I share my 7 step mastering chain that I’ve developed over many years, as well as how to use reference tracks whilst mastering. I also explain how you can check your mix is actually ready for mastering, as a bad mix won’t result in a good master.
We look at what loudness levels are appropriate for mastering, as well as how to master for Spotify - getting the maximum loudness whilst retaining dynamic range and making sure your track doesn’t get penalised.
