Hey guys,br
br
I have finally gotten to the level of master my first serious track and am beginning to start my research and due diligence on the best ways to do this. I wanted to post on here asking, If you had to do it all over again what would you do and where would you start. I know you guys have some of the best knowledge out there so I had to ask!:Dbr
br
Thanks,br

My Chain normally involves:br
br
Gain Fader (Sonalksis Free G)br
Master Buss Comp (waves SSL 4k buss comp, UAD Shadow Hills, The Glue)br
Multiband Compressor (waves C5, UAD Precision Multiband)br
EQ (Sonox Oxford EQ, UAD Cambrige EQ, Fab Filter)br
Maximizer (UAD maximizer) only recently added this to my chain.br
Limiter (waves L3, UAD Precision Limiter)br
br
at each stage im only using things very subtly to build up to an overall increase in RMS of about 6db.br

where can I find the downloads to some of the free mastering tools you’ve recommended in the mastering videos, and is there any other ones you would recommend? br
br
I just downloaded the Free G and can definitely see what your saying by just barely pushing the db… its already helpedbr

I am just trying to build a free mastering layout until I am ready to invest in some of the stuff you’ve mentioned. I know it will help tremendously, but I want to make sure my foundation is correct before I try and push the process.
