Mastering plugins bundled to a Mastering Cheat Sheet
Mastering Cheat Sheet bundle contains the plugins used in our “Mastering CheatSheet” article. This guide written by the mastering engineer Alex Picciafuochi, highlights in a few simple steps the mastering process so that you can always keep it as reference.
A plugin for each task
As highlighted in the Mastering Cheat Sheet guide, first use the ChannelStrip MK3 and ThirtyOne MK2 equalizers, which are essential tools for identifying and attenuating problematic frequencies that compromise the clarity of your audio material. This step ensures a clean and balanced mix from the start.
Next, utilize ElliptQ to remove any unwanted sub-frequencies that can muddy the low end. Additionally, by employing DynEQ, you can apply dynamic compression to tame excesses in specific areas of the audio spectrum, which helps maintain control and balance throughout your track.
Then, add further compression using MultiComp Plus MK2, which provides versatile dynamic processing to glue your mix together. To enhance the warmth and analog character of your tracks, apply a touch of tape simulation with Tape MK2, giving your mix a polished, vintage feel that adds depth and richness.
Afterward, use a musical equalizer like SW34EQ MK2 to gently correct the tonal balance, ensuring that your track sounds natural and well-rounded. Furthermore, slightly widen the stereo view using TrackUtilityMK2, which enhances the spatial depth of your mix. To keep the stereo field balanced, rely on our free StereoView plugin, which helps you monitor and adjust the stereo image effectively.
Finally, to ensure your track meets industry standards, check your levels with either ELM128 MK2 or LUMeterMK2. Once your levels are properly set, apply MagnusMK3 as the limiter on your master track, providing the final touch to ensure your mix is loud, clear, and free of distortion, and ultimately ready for release.
For every step of the guide we provide one or more plugins that can be used for the specific task and with this bundle we are offering you the chance to get them with a 40% discount.
