Wanted to do this for so long and finally did it: built a DIY mastering chain in Ableton Live. Follow the description to build it yourself:

Who are you making your music for?

Why does your mix sound different when you turn it up or down? Why are our ears naturally most sensitive to something like a baby’s cry? And what does that actually mean when you’re mixing your own tracks?

Introducing Soft Signal. A free short series inside Soft Synced exploring the ideas behind how we hear music and how that shapes the decisions we make while producing.

Episode 1 is now live in the app.

Two beats built from nothing. One laid back, one for the dancefloor. Follow the decisions that turn an idea into a finished track.

The key here is that sequentially, you'll think of the subjective term first, like “I want to make this guitar sound defined” or “distant”, etc, and only then does it matter how it all translates to the idea of frequencies and EQ-ing decisions.

[Soft Synced @softsynced]

Ever since I came across Roey Izhaki's chart of subjective terms mapped to frequency ranges, I always think it's such a useful way to get to better EQ-ing decisions. It's basically like a frequency vocabulary chart, so before you reach for an EQ, you know the vocabulary.

As Izhaki explains: “We use these terms in verbal communication, but we might also use them in our heads—first, we decide that we want to add spark and then we translate it to a specific frequency range.”

This is the skill that is worth learning today. As an artist, as anyone.

Nothing Too Strange is the title track of my new EP. I discuss why I wrote the song, how it started to emerge, and how it’s connected to humankind being in its probably most unpredictable age yet. Full video here: https://t.co/bCxobpyskW

@stijnnoorman I see a lot of people argue about building and it just confuses me 🤔

[Soft Synced @softsynced]

The world will ask you who you are and if you don’t know, the world will tell you.

@markmanson Absolute nutcase.

[AMB @ambrusdeak]

One more reason to get better at writing today: those outsourcing both the task and the thinking to AI spoil it for the rest of us who want to use the tech while keeping the thinking human.

[AMB @ambrusdeak]

@shufflefarm That’s very kind thank you so much! Here’s the thing, I though my music was on Tidal 😳

[AMB @ambrusdeak]

@softsynced Delegate the task, not the thinking ✨

[Soft Synced @softsynced]

The magic of AI is that it allows us to know less. Agreeing to know less is volunteering to be dumb.

[Soft Synced @softsynced]

Music production is curiosity made audible.

In your opinion, what leads you to inspiration?

Penny enjoys the Super 8, can’t blame her. Meantime, next album submitted to Muti Music, release date September 26. My most exciting work recently. At least for me… ✨

[AMB @ambrusdeak]

@thejustinwelsh True. If you’re not outside of your comfort zone, you’re not learning.

[AMB @ambrusdeak]

@KevinSzabo14 Lack of motivation isn’t always a sign to push harder, it can be a signal for a need to recharge. Batteries don’t work better by squeezing the last drop out of them. Sometimes you have to allow things in, not just grind for output.

[AMB @ambrusdeak]

Wrapped, mastered, and locked with Muti Music. Counting down the days until you can hear it.
