Keith Wilby Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 Hi all, After watching some excellent tutorials by John Vere (sorry I don't know how to embed a tag) I decided to have a play with LoudMax. I think I'm right in saying that John refers to LoudMax as a "pre-mastering tool". My question is, would you use LoudMax on your master bus and then master the exported file in Bandlab Unlimited? I've tried that with one recording that I'd previously mastered without LoudMax and it sounds awful by comparison. Should one use either/or? Thanks.

John Vere Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 I feature the LoudMax in a few of my videos. I even use it in my video editing software so my You Tubes are under control. Did you watch #101? https://youtu.be/w24ZQIkY4fw It a very simple overview of using it. If it makes your mix sound bad then you are over compressed and might need to lower your overall output using the master bus gain control or lower all your sub buses. I have a few other videos that explain basic mastering. #15, 22&24 as examples https://discuss.cakewalk.com/index.php?/topic/36057-cakewalk-2022-owners-manual-tutorials/ If you have any questions please ask glad to help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
