What should i do if the beat that i want to use sounds mastered already? How would i mix the vocals to a beat that already sounds crisp and mastered or what can i do to the beat so that i can make it sound unmastered and mix the vocals to it and then master it all together?
 
My only guess (and a wild guess at that) is multiband eq....
 
You could split your beat from the rest of your tracks, then mix and 'master' the vocals and mix them in with the beat and don't touch it the mixdown. could work.
 
Bring the volume down to mix levels so your vocals don't have to be pushed so loud to compete, then mix/master as usual.
 
well the answer is...you don't do anything.

If it sounds good, then don't touch it. Unless you want something more out of it? (Some type of FX).

In fact, it probably makes mixing your vocals easier since you have a "perfectly" blended/EQed source to compare it with.

Then come time to master, you still take it through the usual course of mastering. Best case senario, the guy tells you, "nope, this dosn't need to be sonically mastered". Which is what any mixing engineer should strive for.
 
but do i have to make the vocals more crisp since the beat already sounds mastered

You don't have to do anything you don't feel is right. It might mean EQing it to get the clarity of the beat, or you might go the other way and put the vocal through an effect to take it another route...

You wouldn't treat this vocal any different than you would other things. The skys the limit
