Basically, "loud sounds better" to the common person today and most people are wearing shitty Apple earbuds that have to compete with all the surrounding mass of sound, so people are mixing as loud as possible.
Here's the problem, an algorithm can't actually hear anything.īasically, I see Platinum Notes helping lend in to something going on that we like to call in the audio engineering world as "The Loudness Wars". What you are doing with a program like Platinum notes is taking out those dynamics with compressors and several other things that some algorithm decided upon. If you remove these you are seriously effecting the intended sound of a track.
Not to mention as long as you've got good rips of the tracks they area already mastered with proper dynamics and such that the song is intended to have. I also do not believe in anything that is basically "auto-mastering" a song, and quickly frankly, as I said before, just the concept scares me. I've been an audio engineer for many years, and I have not heard of a single legit engineer using Izotope Ozone for mastering. While Platinum Notes is using a legit mastering suite to perform it's function, it's using the cheapest mastering suite you can buy. There's the recording engineer, mixing engineer, and then the mastering engineer, that all did their tweaks to make that track sound the way it does, the way the artist wanted it to. While not as much in EDM, with most music, tracks have several engineers tweaking the sound a certain way because that's how the artist wants it to sound. I take very much pride in the fact that I have the highest quality rips from all of my CDs and vinyls.
If it was a simple volume matching, it wouldn't be that bad, but there's so much more that it has the potential to ruin for me. That being said, I have a completely different opinion on Platinum Notes.Īs an audio engineer, I'm actually afraid of what Platinum Notes would do to my tracks. I recommend it, or at least another "keying" program for every DJ. Ok, first, let me say this first, I LOVE MiK and every track I have has been run through it.
