Can someone help me out with my mix before mastering? I'm preparing to send me songs off for mastering but they say there should be NO processing on the master buss.I've mixed the WHOLE thing with a little processing on the master. About 1:5 ratio compression (1-2 db peak reduction), slight EQ bumps (.5-1 db)at the low and high end and waves MaxxBass. So my mix sounds pretty fair but when I simply deactivate these plugins, the sound changes quite a bit, well, at least more than I'm comfortable with. So what do I do? I have yet to get a satisfying sound without at least a little master buss processing. Do I send it with the slight compression/EQ or do I send the less than stellar unprocessed sound?
