Continuing with the top line, it's on to the song's pre-chorus before writing out the lyrics. Once the idea is in place, ill Factor and Jared go into a looping workflow with Ableton Live, allowing ill to work on the production while Jared continues crafting the lyrics.

See how ill Factor:

Lay down rough ideas for the top line of the pre-chorus
Add effects to fill the space in the top line and add inspiration
Start writing the final lyrics
Use a loop workflow to continue to build the production while working on the lyrics
Break down the guitar recording chain with Native Instruments Guitar Rig 5

Watch ill Factor, produce "Light Shine Through" from Jared Evan. Only on Puremix.

I understand you can’t cover the little things throughout the song making process. But I’d really like to know while recording Jared, Ill is not wearing headphones and the mic is a sensitive condenser, I’m guessing its a WA. is it not catching all the bleed coming out of the monitors? Isolation shield won’t do the trick.

Imagine getting the opportunity to work with Jimmy Douglass and then botching the file export & labeling this badly.

Amazing. The utter absence of musical talent or proficiency.

26:58, "I could just delete the whole idea, ." " Yh and we could just make a totally new song" LMAO,. But for real, after that they did indeed change the song and I liked it less, the vibe they had all the way till min 27 was dope, in my opinion, then after it kinda started to drop, I didn't feel the new chords. As a producer myself, I've been there, and it's part of the process, just have to let the session sit a day or two, come back and listen to what I have made with a fresh pair of ears and make the decisions. But all in all an epic session, I can appreciate the talent.

Learned so much from this whole Start-to-Finish series. Thank you.

I find it hard to follow the musical thought process in this video. Not one of my favourites.

Really interesting! I'd like to correct a technical point about the cooling system. In the video, it's stated that “Helium is an inert gas that does not take on heat. Wherever it's feeding will stay in a relatively neutral temperature.” That's not exactly true. Helium is used for cooling instead of air because it has a higher thermal conductivity than air, meaning it will absorb heat from the cutting head faster than air would.

Hola, me parece una excelente clase de cómo masterizar. Solo tengo la duda de saber, por cual Plugin puedo reemplazar el UAD Pultec. Gracias.

Wow, I went back a few years! I was always going to the cutting lacquer mastering. It was the "final" moment of the production and the beginning of the manufacturing. Glad to know that this critical knowledge is not lost.

Great video, I have watched this several times. On the sections where Pro C is the last in the chain, is there a limiter to cover those sections, as in the sections where the Stealth Limiter is last in the chain? Thank you

Amazing tutorial. It would be great to learn a little more about Jimmy's outboard chain - is he using the 8816 for summing or is he just using the widening effect?
