Thanks HIMBeats! Im taking a little vacation from the other spot so I'll be alot more active here for now.
Anyway, to everyone else...I assume that everybody uses common sense when taking advice from me or anyone else. The advice I gave for increasing your volume won't naturally cause unwanted side effects (but it will amplify those that are already there)... that in mind, I will make this clear...if you don't know how to "master" a track, then telling you what to tweak would be absolutely useless because every song will be different. There isn't a "one setting" that "fits all"... if there was, every DAW would have a one click button called "MASTER" and it's done. Taking that into consideration, something as simple as a basic EQ can totally destroy a song if you don't use common sense. The advice I gave will increase your volume, if you hear something that doesn't sound right then chances are extremely good that its coming from something within the song itself, but at the same time "over-doing something" may cause an unwanted effect but still...common sense should tell you that if you didn't hear it before you turned whatever knob, then turn that knob back...lol. I'm sure that everyone here has heard how "mastering" is something for the pro's and thats true! It really is! BUT I encourage you all to test and try it. Every Professional Master had to start somewhere, nobody was born a "master", it is something thats developed through trail, testing and error.
Earlier I said there's no one setting that fits all... however, there is a great starting point...I dont use FL Studio to master anything that I would consider "a professional track". I use Har-Bal's Mastering Techniques and Waves, which you can find here... har-bal.com/index.php?/mastering-tutorial.php (just add the wwwdot at the beginning). This is really good info that can be applied to FL Studio but once again, its only a starting point, the key lies within how you tweak it.
Good luck and look out for my tuts once I can start posting links and things, I'm only gonna give you info on things that work for me.
Peace,
dac
