He starts by showing a typical example of what not to do: i.e. throw Utility on your master channel and turn the knob to the right. This approach can be adequate sometimes, but it can quickly sound dreadful. Utility is too blunt a tool for mastering. Instead, you can use Live's built-in EQ Eight by switching it to Mid-Side mode and then adding/subtracting frequencies. This technique is a much more tasteful and sophisticated approach since it allows you to be very precise. Using bells, shelves, and high/low-pass filters (as well as your ears), you can widen or narrow your mix precisely to your song's requirements. Mid-side EQ is how most professional mastering engineers give songs an extra sonic polish, and it's a method you'll surely want to add to your skillset. And if you don't use Ableton Live, Ian also shows how you can use a freeware EQ plugin (TDR's NOVA) to get very similar results. #masteringtutorial #widemaster #howtowiden
