Logic Pro X Radio Mastering Template

For episode 89 we are mastering a short punchy radio mix that will be specially prepared to be played on radio. Our master is being prepared on 32 bits at 96000KHZ with a good amount of headroom.

The song we will use is a song inspired by the style of commericali progressive house popularized by Avicii, the song was mixed and prepared to have some vocals laid on top.

We begin by using the Renaissance EQ to maximize our input and output a loud signal into the chain. We then use the VEQ4 to add minimal analog character and a minor boost to the low end. Then we apply 2DB of gain reduction using the L2 Ultramaximizer.

Then we get serious using the LIN MB, Linear Phase Multiband processor with an custom open Electro Mastering setting, again the gain reduction is minimal. We then use the Legendary API 2500 Compressor to add more substance to the low end. Movin on into a SSL G Channel annd apply some equalization, this plugin is able to make the spectrum shin without having an overall boost frequency boost. We will not use the Kramer tape for this session as we do not want to add more saturation to the signal. We then go into a SSL G Compressor to “glue” our track together.

We then go into a second instance or the LIN MB with a tighter opto sessing, we then finish the session with the L316 Multimaximizer again we do not apply a lot of gain reduction, only to get the overall loudness to about -12DB average.

We then review the song to ensure we have no signal clipping.

May The Sounds Be With You!
