Mixing and Mastering For Spotify (Step-By-Step Guide!)

Подробнее о видео

In this detailed tutorial, we work on a chill deep house song so that it is a fully mixed and mastered track ready for upload on Spotify. The song is called 'Black Friday', which has been featured in the New Music Friday Canada playlist by Spotify Canada. We use a reference track to make mixing decisions, ensuring our song's volumes are on par with professional standards. We also explore the mastering process, specifically using clippers, limiters, and compression so that our master is at -14 LUFS integrated.
