I don't think filtering everything is good advice. Instead be judicious at each stage a filter affects everything above the filter point (phase relationships) so you get to point B but not without affecting A. Improve the source (room) and the mic, then if you need to use filters you can, but I...

-10/-12dBFS on master out at 24bit res seems about right, remember your drums are likely to be the source with the most transients. You will find that the headroom gets eaten into when the low end appears in the mix. Specifically from a mastering perspective the criteria is as long as it's...

Try moving your amps to a different position in the room and get some thick rockwool/owens corning bales in the room you record (not expensive) soak up some standing waves, keep out of the corners with the amps. Check the response of the mic you use for peaks in that area, same with your...

Don't be cautious guys, no obligation and everything to gain. This generous offer is still on. P.S. thanks for all those who have visited my site recently.

Well yes it could come across as spam initially, but if you consider I am offering to spend time applying professional skill and knowledge (and a free preview takes as a long as a full master and gets exactly the same attention) then it really changes your take on it. As I say no obligation and...
