Since first trying to tackle this problem I've noticed how profoundly much some studios' final masters vary in sound, especially when shutting off all EQs and boost toys to see how they sound "flat". I mean what the hell is "flat" anyway, right? It's all relative to whatever we're comparing it...

yeah, smell this while you're at it. (jeez, dewd no need to get violent.)

straight up snug in your ass it sounds like the ocean.

Advice from a pro. I've recently been corresponding with someone who makes their living from mastering mixes and the bottom line seems to be: "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." I do all of my mixing and composing with a sequencer and most instruments have either already been compressed or...

Also! These figures were based on adjustments for my own clips. Your own would have different fixes. Best to get similar software and try your own stuff on it. If it sounds like crap with the fix then you probably need to work on your mix some more. (This is really just a quick fix and in no...

I'm just getting into the art of mixing and mastering myself. I use a PC, an old Roland workstation and a pair of Tascam VL-S21 flat-ref monitors which are amazingly accurate for their size and price. Also come with a sub. I try to get my mixes to sound like I would normally play a song on any...
