Hello all, this is a post/question regarding mixing for mastering. Of course I realize that when mixing one should put out the best mix possible. And I am fairly confident in my mixing abilities. That being said, I find that my mixes end up with too much mud for my liking. I find the low end the hardest to mix, and sometimes I take out too much mud and kill the low end of the piece. Now if the mastering engineer needs more low end it won't be there. In this situation would it be best to leave the low end to the ME? I know that I should not really be mixing for the master, but I have to admit I'm a little nervous.
This is the first project I'm to get mastered by a pro. Of course I know I need to talk to the ME about this, but I just want to educate myself on the subject so I'm not wasting too much of their time.
