Progressive House Mastering Template (EDM Sessions EP087)

Logic Pro X Progressive House Mastering Template

For episode 87 we are mastering a progresive house song we previously mixed and arranged in episode 79 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yksv9dJZlJo and composed in episode 42 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fVt7yeJaeK8. The Master was prepared in 32Bits Precision audioo at a refresh rate of 96000KHZ.

We begin by setting up gain using the Renaissance Equalizer, we also cut the low end minimally. Afterward we go into our chain into the VEQ 4, we use it to add carater to the low and and also use the phase function to process the signal. Continuing into the chain use the L2 Ultramaximizer.

We can clearly use the result here, then we send the signal to a LIN MB with an open Electro mastering, we then glue the mix with an API 2500 compressor with a gain reduction of about 2 DB. We then use the SSL G Channel strip to add more feel to the sub frequencies, the effect is minimal but excellent! We then use the Center plugin for stereo imaging.

Next we move on to a Kamer tape to add harmonic distortion, we will use it very lightly to slightly increase the signal. We then add a layer of glue using the SSL G Compressor. To finalize the processing we use a second instance of the LIN MB again very minimally. We complete the mastering session with a L316, with this we raise the loudness level to we are at the industry standard.

May the sounds be with you!
