I'm forever running into the issue of my snare being buried in the mix when i try to get the loudness in mastering. Maybe I'm clipping it too hard?
I run EQ, comp, and Gclip on snare tracks then on a snare bus as well, then again over the entire drum bus, and again on the master. Is this too much GClip? I can get around -13 to -12 RMS according to Reapers stock meter, but the snare clearly becomes way more pronounced if I back off the master limiter....
