Hmm, hard to tell really.
If we at least had a link to a downloadable mp3. it'd be easier to tell.
So with things like rms levels, peak levels, and pretty much any sort of analasys aside. And it's a style of music I never listen too...
It seems loud... but kind of scooped sounding. A lot of bass, and a whole lot of treble... "smiley face" EQ. But not enough midrange "body" to it.
Also, I can SEE my monitors flapping around, looks like somewhere under the 30Hz range. I think it could use some subsinic filtering to tighen up the bass and give the mids some room.
Overall, not horrible. I've heard worse.

You would you mind filling us in on the approach.

Without hearing the unmastered version for reference, there is really no way to evaluate the mastering job.

[innobidova]

It sounds lively as it should.

[gummblefish]

thats completely true what scrubs said...this sounds like a good mix, but as far as mastering is concerned this aint worth commenting on as i havent heard anything to compare it with. Post the original.

Too much high end to my liking.
The high end is just sizzzling too much and it lacks a little body in the mids.

And why is that?
He asked for an opinion so I gave him one.
Actually, I never said the job was bad, it's just that as a listener, the highs irritated me.

[pingu]

im on your side man.

[Massive Master]

I like the original mix much better... There's a LOT of noise and additional distortion in the new file.

And the high end... That's painful. It's *soooo* distorted on the gang vox... And the lows are flopping around everywhere.

Yup - I like the original mix. It's a little veiled, but it's not nasty.

[rnb259]

this is exactly wat i was looking for, also this is the reason i need new monitors, or maybe it was the medication for the work injury.

i am working on fixing these problems right now ya'll

[pingu]

Why dont you submit this for the third mastering clinic?

[pingu]

Also tell us what tools your using to master with.

[rnb259]

i basically was using just the waves bundles, im still learning how my speakers are reacting to this type of processing though but i would be more than willing to submit this for the clinic!

[pingu]

You will have to contact mshilarious for the clinic.
