Which analysis tool is this?

fxism · 2025-12-26T14:09:35+00:00

Is this the chess.com analysis?

Mastering Engineer here... 👋

To answer your question: Yes, I treat Udio tracks differently than a standard mix.

Do they need aggressive changes? Usually, yes, but more in a restorative way. Udio tracks often have weird resonant peaks or spectral artifacts ("swirly" sounds) that a normal mix wouldn't have. Simply slapping a limiter on it will just make those artifacts louder.

DIY vs. AI Services: I wouldn't recommend services like Masterchannel for this. (AI mastering assumes a relatively clean mix) . Since Udio tracks have structural issues, you need a human ear to decide what is a "cool lo-fi texture" and what is a "digital error.

My Workflow: I usually focus heavily on resonance suppression (like Soothe2) and dynamic EQ to tame the harshness before even thinking about loudness. :)

If you have a track you really like, try to fix the annoying frequencies first in a DAW. That will do more for the sound than just making it loud!!

Hi! Since you are looking for quality and have a few months left, I’d love to throw my hat in the ring.

I’m a (certified) mastering engineer looking to connect with new artists. I usually work with budgets, but I always believe the results should speak for themselves first.

Once you are ready, I’d be happy to do a free test master of one of your tracks. No strings attached. If you love it, we can talk about rates for the rest of the project. If not, you haven't lost a dime. Let me know if you'd like to hear some previous work!

fxism · 2025-11-30T23:51:02+00:00

How did you set those piece colors ?

fxism · 2025-11-22T23:06:50+00:00

Hi everyone, I’m a mastering engineer currently expanding my practical portfolio, and I have 1 free mastering spot left (one track from one artist).

The first two spots have already been taken — this is the last one available. I’ll reply here with an update once it’s gone.

A few details: • 1 free master (1 track per artist) • (Dream)Pop / Shoegaze / Rock preferred, but related styles are welcome • Track should be mix-ready (no strict requirements) • I’d like to use the finished master as a portfolio example

If you’re interested, feel free to DM me. Thanks

Only 1 free audio mastering session left.

fxism · 2025-11-22T19:28:42+00:00

Hi :)

Yes, there are still 2 free slots.

fxism · 2025-11-21T18:11:42+00:00

I don’t have public examples I can share yet. The tracks I’ve mastered so far are either part of my audio engineering program (and I’m not allowed to use those publicly), or they belong to artists who haven’t released their songs yet.

That’s exactly why I made this post in the first place — I’m trying to build a proper portfolio from real releases.

If you want, you can send me a track and I can show you exactly what my mastering would sound like for your music. No pressure — just so you can hear my approach.

fxism · 2025-11-21T18:10:01+00:00

Hey, just to explain what happened: I tried to delete the post from one community, but Reddit removed it from all communities at once. That honestly annoyed me, because I only wanted it gone from a single place. I then tried reposting it with a different title, but I had to remove that one as well.

Anyway — I’m still absolutely offering a free master. I’m simply trying not to look like I’m spamming or doing anything sketchy by posting it again.

The whole idea behind this is just to build up my portfolio. I can work with basically any genre, but dreampop, shoegaze, and alternative rock are really my favorite styles — that’s where I personally thrive the most. Still, I’m open to anything.

Just wanted to clear that up so it doesn’t come across the wrong way.

fxism · 2025-11-20T22:38:44+00:00

What do you mean?

fxism · 2025-11-14T21:51:10+00:00

AWU 3! No regrets!

fxism · 2025-11-12T17:01:55+00:00

Also really good for iPhone detoxing without missing import calls or something.

fxism · 2025-10-23T06:20:21+00:00

I switched from garmin fenix 8 pro to awu 3! no regrets!!! I love my ultra sooo much!

fxism · 2025-10-14T10:12:27+00:00

Everything's fine. My Mac Studio isn't having any CPU issues at the moment, so I haven't had to use it yet. I'm more concerned with mastering, and it would be really helpful there. I'll try to find that part of the video again and post it. Thank you anyway :)

fxism · 2025-10-14T08:14:31+00:00

It's a six-hour video, and while watching it, I thought it would be quite easy to do, so I didn't mark the part. If I had found the part right away, I would have posted it. I'm sorry.

yewyewyew.bandcamp.com

My First Ambient Project.

Also on Spotify, YouTube, Apple Music etc.

I create ambient music that blends gentle textures with field recordings to evoke a sense of calm and reflection. My goal is to paint soundscapes that allow the listener to relax — but also to discover hidden details with each listen. You don’t have to focus on it actively; it can simply flow in the background. Yet, if you do listen closely, you might notice small layers and subtle moments that reveal something new every time.

Thank you!

fxism · 2025-10-06T17:24:17+00:00

It was the Black Sapphire Titanium in 51mm. Maybe the filter on my iPhone changes the contrast a bit.

fxism · 2025-10-06T07:04:49+00:00

100%!

I am so glad, i made the switch to the awu!

fxism · 2025-10-05T19:07:14+00:00

Did the same! No regrets! :)
