Great tutorial, simple, to the point, and exactly what I need now that I have “Logic Pro” and need to learn the basics. I have a strong passion for music and want to move onto making electronic music. I feel that in months to come I will be able to do so! I am also thinking of getting “Bias Peak Pro” soon because I heard that it is a great audio editor. Do you think it is a powerful editor and do you use it?

  Thanks! Glad it helped. I’ve used Peak 5 a lot. Not so much these days, though. Still, great app with lots of great reviews. I have no problem recommending it.

  Welcome aboard, Aaron! The big thing with mastering is the room. If you’re having trouble translating your mixes to many systems, it’s definitely your room. Also, it’s give and take. It will never sound the same from one system to another as it does through your own setup. But if you can at least hear everything and it’s balanced, you’re in a very good place.
  The best place to start is to pull up some of the mastering channel strip presets on your master output. They usually include a multi-band compressor, a limiter, an EQ, and some meters for analyzing. After that it’s all about your ears.
  You’ll probably never get a professional level master from a project studio. It’s wise to do the best you can and send it to a professional mastering studio. Of course it only makes sense to do that if you have the budget and you plan on making that money back with the sale of your music.
  Still, you can improve your mastering chops and print your own CDs or at least get some really decent recording ready for duplication. It just takes a lot of experience.
  I know that MacProVideo.com just put out a mastering video series on Logic. I bought it but haven’t watched it yet. I’m sure it’s good.
