Stem Mastering Walkthrough Video #18 [Indie]

Watch the full step-by-step walkthrough (with narrated explanations) of how I stem mastered ’00’s Nostalgia’ by Dutch Criminal Record to get it sounding ready for release. This particular session was a great example of how using references tracks can help guide your mastering decisions and get a great final result. The low-end was particularly challenging as the recorded bass was lacking in sub. With EQ and gain adjustments I found a good way to transparently boost those low-frequencies. Hopefully, you’ll uncover some techniques that you can use in your own productions to get your mixes sounding great.
