Master the art of Synthwave music with this detailed tutorial on using Waves plugins within Logic Pro X. In Episode 86, Mikas takes us through mastering his track "Aura," a fusion of Synthwave and breakbeat drums, at 32-bit/96 kHz for unparalleled audio quality.
Here's the Mastering Journey:
Initial Gain Adjustment: Utilize the auto-gain feature of the Renaissance EQ for balanced input.
Bass Enhancement: Slightly boost the bass with VEQ4, adding character to the sound.
Loudness Control: Apply 2 dB of gain with the L2 Ultramaximizer for initial loudness.
Multiband Processing: Use LIN MB with an adaptive electro mastering preset, ensuring minimal compression (2-3 dB).
Cohesion: Implement the API 2500 Compressor to glue the mix together.
Width: Employ Center to maximize stereo width for an enveloping experience.
Harmonic Distortion: Add warmth with the Kramer Tape plugin via saturation.
Character Compression: Use SSL G Channel compressor for its unique sound and further cohesion.
Tightening: Add another layer of LIN MB with a very tight setting for enhanced definition.
Final Limiting: Conclude with the L316 multiband limiter, noting that much of the loudness has already been achieved.
After processing, we review the results, discussing the impact of each step in the mastering chain.
May the sounds be with you.
