if you're making original music, i don't see why would get your music taken down?

unless you have some unauthorized samples....

well the thing is SC is so lazy they take down anything with similar name too sometimes I read somewhere that some guy uploaded silent track and named it the same as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4%E2%80%B233%E2%80%B3 and it was taken down by copyright notice ridiculous...

How much coloration is occurring and at what point does the coloration occur?

are you buying it for the tool or the color?

to get the color you need to crank things a bit up (by the way, "famous" Soundgoodizer is just a preset from Maximus), otherwise if you don't go crazy on the knobs it acts as a standard limiter. After Maximus I noticed it added a nice warm to mid and higher bass. I don't know if I would buy it on it's own for saturation it adds, but it comes with Producer bundle of FL Studio

ok so considering the coloration from the plugin, that would effect the master output.

Would you want to extend to a point of coloration or some level of coloration on your master?

Does this coloration relate to achieving commercial loudness?

Should loudness and coloration be considered in your masters?

I understand the what would consider being "commercial", but i don't understand if there's a need for that to be the average reference point for the consumers.

Unless there's literally so much ambient noise that you NEED that whole BS.

hah this is coming into interrogation

Yes, I put Maximus exclusively on master channel, 99% of the time when I want to saturate the sound, otherwise I use Waves L2 for traditional limiting. I think I'm not going after a "commercial" sound, I use it on songs that I don't want to sound clean - most of the time sampled stuff and synthwave (80s cheesy shit )
https://soundcloud.com/itsdaimon/synthwave-thunder-lighting/s-HqYE4 here is the synthwave track I've been working on with maximus on master, it has that dirty compressed sound to it (at least for me)

I believe that everyone has their own sound, they just don't realize it. Of course if you don't practically ripoff popular tunes and use exactly same sounds. It might not come in 1 month, but it will come naturally without you knowing it.

I dunno exactly why, it "just happened". here is the long story:
It all started with EDM boom in 2011 when more electronic sound got into mainstream radios - I was 15, listening to crap like Flo Rida and Pitbull, I really liked Flo Ridas Good Feeling song, then when I found the original by Avicii called Levels, I was completely shocked by the electric sound and how it was so catchy even if it was instrumental thing (I'm not counting the Etta James sample) - I became obsessed by Avicii and I dug deeper - on his wiki page was mentioned Daft Punk as influence - never heard of them, I played first song on youtube - it was One More Time, and I realized that I heard this song already once when I was 6-7 yrs old and I loved it back then, now was blown away by those nice, unnatural tuned vocals.
Then I found out there is some genre called House and I became regular listener of progressive house - i stalked every possible episode of Eric Prydz Epic Radio and I listenned to it over and over again...
then there was this Pitbull feat Afrojack song - Give me everything, which accidentally changed it all for me - I really liked the piano chords in that song but I already hated Pitbull's shit all over it so I searched for Instrumentals - there wasn't any, only some youtube video with remake of the full song - in the video, everything was played from some weird looking complicated program - that was my first encounter with FL studio. I googled the program, what it is, what it does and how the heck are songs created then.
 After a brief introduction to FL studio I decided I want to make such awesome songs like Avicii, and I tried to remake them (without good results lol), then I learned more and I realized I could try something on my own - first song was a disaster, I'm  still trying to figure out why on Earth I lowpassed C5/C6 strings at like 300 hz, why "climax" was 12 bars long or why I putted reverb on practically everything  (I still have the song somewhere I can post it if you want instant earbleed ) but I still kept on learning and now I know I'm capable of creating pretty decent song.

So yes, I'm a child of Avicii and Afrojack, that is producing trap, moombahton and future bass now. Believe in yourself and do your homeworks.

this was the easiest sample search ever probably http://www.whosampled.com/sample/260640/Sigma-Nobody-to-Love-Lyn-Collins-Think-%28About-It%29/ Whosampled.com should be the first place when you're searching for some sample in the song

I still feel like Steven can be an ok guy, but Drew is class A douchebag. Funny thing is I got banned in their Cymatics group without even being rude or something... one day just banned good thing is, that some people realize how impossible this company is and they even created parody fb page for them https://www.facebook.com/buymaticsFM/?fref=ts I'm f**king dead 

Mostly Massive, but Im exploring Serum atm

Exactly me too!
