You also have the option of using the "copy project files to" to save the existing project and all the currently used assets into a folder of your choice and name. If you put it somewhere else, the recordings etc.
"Save as" gives you the opportunity to rename the project file (I use this for saving versions as I progress through a project) and the opportunity to set a location. OCD perhaps.) *If you don't name them, you will gather a collection of unidentified folders. (As stated, I have already done this before hand. The first time you save, it should automatically create a folder, and give you the option to name it. Make sure your recording tab setting is still set to that^^^ original default setting. I have never lost a file or content this way so far.Īnd I highly recommend using the default location of "Documents/Mixcraft projects/" to keep things tidy.
Hi and work a little different than some, and create my own project folders at the start. I personally would warn that doing too much of it as a final step often has a negative effect on your mix, and generally warn against focusing on that too much until one gains experience. Many people focus on the loudness component in their description of "mastering" yet some people get most of that within the mix, others as a final step. Usually I am going to be doing that on the track itself, not the master bus. The master bus effects all tracks if thats what you want.įor me, volume automation is usually part of mixing the track, with the exception of occasionally fading in or out if necessary. The decision would, as I described above, depend on just what you are trying to achieve. Your last question asked about volume automation.
And ten different people are probably going to provide ten different methods. Some people suggest involving a separate set of ears.Īdvising on what to do or how to do anything specific would really require an understanding of intent. To me, "mastering" is usually a set of songs to create an EP, LP, CD, or some kind of playlist, where you set the order, spacing or gaps between, perhaps fade in/out automation and eq and level of each so they sound like they belong together etc.īut in todays streaming world, we often end up focused on the single.Īnd the decision whether to place processing on the master track of an open mix or to mix down then master. But if its just one song, it is IMO really just an extension of mixing.
I dont feel there is any one "correct" set of methods. I think calling it a "master track" misleads a lot of people.Īs Myran points out, it is simply the main bus, also sometimes called the "stereo bus" or "two bus" that all other tracks are summed to.Īs to how to use it, that would vary by user preference.
