Ever wonder what "digitally remastered" means? Want to know how to control you sound profile in Garage Band using mastering? If so, then this video is for you. It took me awhile to truly understand these concepts. If you are planning to do anything serious with Garage Band you will need to understand mastering and the compressor to get "your sound". Watching this movie in HD will give you the best sound quality.
If you are interested in dynamic range and the "loudness war" this is a video which compares and contrasts older recording to digitally remastered recordings. However, everyone is using compressors now (including radio stations) so all music is basically loud with little or no dynamic range.
Thanks so much for this post. Just when I think I understand what Garageband has to offer someone, like yourself, enlightens me to another tool within. The preset really make this an amazing piece of software. It makes me wonder what's under the hood of Logic if Garageband is this strong.
ReplyDeleteThanks also for the compressor tip. I'm used to compressing individual tracks but not the final mix. You also have to be careful with boosting the bottom and top as well as it sometimes make it also sound less natural but it's easier to hear in a car stereo or MP3 player.
Thanks again
