Hey friends,
I just wanna get some feedback on how you approach mixing and mastering on the M+ in standalone mode without the use of 3rd party VSTs.
Traditionally, when I was working in the SW, I would use FabFilter Pro-Qs all over the place with Ozone mastering suite on the master. With the standalone arrangement I obviously can’t do this so I’m using similar EQ curves just with the native EQ and am making use of the filter, limiter, transient master, and compressor devices at the group and master level and it produces pretty decent results.
I probably wouldn’t try to mix and master a track for release solely in standalone but for jamming and live performance I absolutely need a comparable way to get my mix sounding good and be at the right loudness without the use of 3rd party plugins. Is there any info on what the numbers mean on each channel for the mixer (not the mixer level but the smaller font value that changes). Are these LUFS units or True Peak db? In the software you can go to the mixer (or maybe it’s called the control view) where you can see a visual representation of how the limiter is triggering, is there a way to do this on the plus or do I just have to use my ears?
please share any signal processing chains you use or tips when it comes to getting your mixes where they need to be.
