Anyone wanna practice some mastering?

[beron]

This track is competly unmastered, if anyone want to give it a shot i would be very happy. Im new to this "homerecordingthing" and want to learn as much as possible.
Please tell me what you did on the mastering if anyone want to try.

If you deliver the stems (not raw tracks) I'd be willing to try.

Here's my 35 minute attempt. Didn't mess with the stems just the rendered track. Probably could have gotten the bass a lot tighter and more in the pocket if I had messed the stems but.....

Thanks so much for the kind words. Glad you like it. If you ever need any work done hit me up!

I agree. There is definitely some balance, low end, and harshness issues that need to be addressed but I figured it would be a cool challenge. Might try the stems.

+1 but the mix is not bad, just a few works to finish this ...

To much low end on the guitars right?

No it's in the bass and the kick drum. The sum of the low end should be more linear. The sub content in your track is bouncing around. Hope this makes sense.

Any ideas how to adress this problem?

I would start by doubling the bass gtr track. HP 1 at 350 or so then LP the other at 100 or so. Pin the sub one down with a limiter then ride the fader till it's not "flapping around".
As far as the kick goes don't over compress. It sounds like the drums are MM. I personally wouldnt compress the kicks in that package at all. The only eqing I would do would be subtractive also. I would use a transient designer if I needed for attack or sustain.

Here's a new version using only free plugins I made for the fun of it. In the first link the song is going to switch every four measures from the original to the free plugin mastered version. You should notice the low end becomes way more controlled and the mix "opens up" and has more cohesion. The second link is the song at full Mastered volume with a -7 RMS average.
