Start MASTERING your MUSIC in 2022 (+my mastering chain EXPOSED)!
Hello, my dear Internetians!
A topic I wanted to grab long time ago: my mastering chain and the way I master my music. I hope it helps you start mastering your own tracks, because I'm pretty sure that most of you do it alone in your home studios.
Hope it's informative, hope it's fun. Enjoy!
