I tried it out, and it sounds good. I would say that you always want a Limiter on slot 8 of your master. Also I added a compressor on top of the multi-band compressor. Plus another Parametric Eq.

So you want to move the Multi-Band Compressor to slot 7, put a Limiter at 8, and a Compressor at 6. Plus the parametric EQ 2 at slot 2. Use the EQ to adjust the overall EQ of the song.

Another secret to mixing I came up with myself... Download Serato Scratch. It has color coded waveforms... I export a mp3 from fl studio, then I visually look at it in Serato. I then can visually see if, my bass is too loud, my melodies are too low, my snares need adjusted etc.

I personally love fl studio, but mixing in it has always been the hardest part for me.

when circular panning law is checked it just means that fl will automatically make volume compensations based on the position of the pan pot. it's basically meant to try and maintain a consistent level no matter how you're panning the sound. the position changes, the volume doesn't. turning it off means you'll be working in linear panning, so when you pan something hard left, you're really just cutting off the signal on the right side. both the position and the volume's gonna change because it's not automatically boosting the signal for you.

you shouldn't throw any old preset on the master and you sure as shyt shouldn't be use a multi-band unless you really know how to use it. as far as the serato thing, you don't need to do it that way, you can just use a frequency analyzer inside fl instead of exporting it. and that's what you want to put in slot 8 of your mastering chain. look up voxengo span, it's not hard to find. use that if you wanna get visual with it.

I've used a bunch of spectrum analysis plugins... I've just gotten the best results using serato to tweak my sounds :yeshrug:

Also I would recommend always having a multi-band compressor on your master, and you're the only person I've ever heard recommend otherwise.

wasn't trying to be insulting, i was just saying. different songs require different treatment during the mastering process and there's no such thing as a one-size-fits-all mastering preset/chain/setting. i mean, i guess you can throw on izotope ozone and pick a preset and it might sound okay (to you, at least) but that's not really gonna help you in the long run cuz you're not learning anything. you don't add a plug-in or pick a setting "just because", do it for a reason. given that, i don't have a preset mastering chain, i have things that i'd usually have on my signal chain, like an eq (or 2), a compressor (or 2) and a limiter. as for other stuff, if i think it helps i might have a saturation plugin on there, maybe a stereo imager...that type of stuff.

also, i didn't say you shouldn't use a multi-band, i said you shouldn't use one unless you know how to use it...and again, don't put one on "just because", either the track needs it or it doesn't. by the way, a lot of professional mastering engineers totally shy away from MBCs and/or very rarely use them. i'd say they have more use in the mix than they do for mastering.i don't even know why you'd need one if you're mastering your own shyt anyways cuz you could just go back and fix whatever problem you think you need a MBC for in the mix.

speaking of mixing, you should get that part straight way before you start worrying about your mastering game.

First I dont use presets.. second the master I uploaded was for some brehs who just recently started using FL and its loaded with an stereo widener low/high pass filter and an MULTIBAND COMPRESSOR for easier acces to regulate the lows mids and highs..third I never claimed to be no dr dre I just wanted to give something to the brehs in here to encurage them to continue Making beats because no matter what you say the beat WILL sound better with that preset than it will without nothing understand? I got no problem with my sound I use a different variation of plug ins for my own productions including T-racks and izotope amongst others..and I have no problem with my mixes where did you get that from?
