Hi everyone,

I have recorded and mixed all my channels in MAGIX samplitude Music Studio 2015 PRO and want to create 1 stereo channel (Master) but am unable to find any tutorial or YouTube video for this. Can anyone help me to understand how that works?

Thank you,

John

Hi,

What exactly do you mean by "Mastering?"

If you click on the Master button, it opens the mastering tools. These are all explained in the manual. Click on the ? to open the help manual to the relevant section.

Or, open the Mixer (M) look at the right bottom of the mixer, just above the word MASTER, click not the dropdown "Mix to file." This will create a master of your composition.

If you want to create a CD, click on the Export button at the top of the screen and follow the instructions.

For tutorials, go to YouTube and search for "Kraznet mastering." He has done several mastering tutorials for Samplitude Pro, which is just a higher Pro version of Samplitude Music Studio. Review some of these.

Hi John,

Thank you for this info, I will check it out when I am back from work. I worked with other recording equipment before and after recording all the instruments on different tracks, you mix everything to the point that it is to your liking. After that you master it all into 1 stereo track, which will be the master and can be used for a CD.

I will follow your steps and check out the tutorials this evening. Thanks again.

Hi John,

The steps that I gave are the ones that you will need to follow:

Go through the Mixing process to make sure that all is the way you want it, including any automation;
Go through the Mastering process to get the final sound;
Mix to file;
Check mixed file, and go back and modify original and remix if necessary;
Export

Make sure to do a Save as occasionally, changing the project name by adding a revision, just in case you need to go back and to protect against the nasty corrupt project file that can happen.

Watching Kraznet tutorials will help.

You can also look at comments on the Samplitude Forum. There is where you have the experts.

Try mastering each part/stem indivudually for better results.
