For this tutorial, we show how you can add “air” to your track during the mastering process, to give the final result a super clean and sparkly sound.
Adding air to your mix is the method of boosting high frequencies around the 15-20K Hz range and can be achieved by utilising EQ. It’s a subtle technique mastering engineers use to add clarity to the sound and give the audio a more open and airy feel.
The video below is taken from Point Blank’s state-of-the-art VLE (Virtual Learning Environment), which houses a wealth of music production tutorials, masterclasses, student information and announcements and much more.

During the video, the Point Blank lecturer Jarrad Hearman showcases a few foolproof techniques for adding air to your premaster, using Waves Audio’s VEQ4 and PuigTec EQP-1A plugins and iZotope’s Ozone 9 with a Baxandall curve to create a high shelf.
