What is your "mixing & mastering" process? Can you post an audio sample? Need more info to help.

Yo Cha Cha Cha:

My Yamaha AW1600 has a series of algorithms that do "different" things with mastering. I usually use one or another if the sound comes up to par. Sometimes, I just mix up the mix and let it go if it comes out right.

Your recording box has some Mastering Algorithms? I think....

I don't work with a gaggle of tracks very often. Thus, it reduces complications when mixing a song. I've found "backing tracks for some folks who sing and this makes life easier as the CD backing tracks are pretty well balanced most of the time; thus, I don't have to do much to the music. I can focus on the vocalist.

I use songs I use usually run 3/4 tracks with an EFF track.

Guess if you make things less complicated, at least for a while, it will make your recordings better.

The 2400 (and several of its smaller brothers) have very usable MTK effects for mastering.
