i love negative rep
i recently got a sample from a reputable ME and heard very little difference from what i did at home.
don't get me wrong, it was better, a little smoother in the mids-upper mids, and the bass was slightly better controoled. but not the kind of difference i was expecting.
the mix was ok i'd say, in line with stuff i do.
and i heard mastering jobs that made a mix go from absolute hell to, well, listenable. but the amount of change was impressive.
and to top it off i'm trying to convince this band that they need to pay for professional mastering, but it will be kinda hard to pull off if they can't hear the difference from what i did with a 4band eq and an L2, and what would cost them conciderably more money.
so..... am i asking too much out of mastering?????
here is some examples of my work (not any from the band in question)

i'd say the stuff i'm talking about sounds a little better than that stuff too.
thankx
