Brief Introduction

The loudness war is not over yet. Learn how to make your tracks loud and sound good. Commercial loudness made simple

Description

Learn how to make your EDM tracks as loud as you want. Yes, even as loud as those tracks from your favorite producers. The best part is you don't need any special plugins, you can use the ones you have in your DAW or any of your favorite plugins. All the "secret" are right here in this course.

Getting your tracks to sound as big and loud as commercial EDM tracks is not easy. It takes a mix of production skills, great sound design, a well balanced mixdown, and mastering chops to get to the insane loudness levels of today's electronic music tracks. Whatever your opinion on the loudness war, loudness is essential when it comes to EDM; especially if you're looking to get signed or get spins in the clubs and that's a fact of life.

Mastering EDM for loudness can be done in a number of different ways. In this course, you'll learn the tricks of the trade, the plugins and the techniques used to achieve maximum loudness.

Whether you're looking to master house, trance, mainroom, or anything in between, this course will show you how to master your electronic music to be loud, clear and punching through those club systems.

When mastering for loudness you'll be using tools like

Mid/Side EQ
Multiband compression
Saturation
Parallel processing
Limiting

and some other goodies to achieve that "wall of sound" effect that many EDM tracks have and that can sometimes be very difficult to achieve.
