Been lurking about for awhile now, so I figured it was about time I posted a mix, and tried to use some of all the great stuff I've learned here.
So here's a mix of a song from my band's latest live show. The venue had a live recording scheme going, and recorded our entire set using the mics on our gear and 2 sets of ambience mics (stage & audience). Nice service.

Admittedly my mastering skills suck, so there are 2 versions. With and without my "mastering". I just never can seem to get it as loud as I want to without making it pump and clip like a motherf***er.

Comments and tips for both mix and mastering are welcomed! Anyone willing to take a shot at mastering, let me know and I'll give you a link to a .wav

Double Space - The Rock (not very mastered)
Double Space - The Rock (not mastered at all)

Hellooo?! You really got nothing to say to this?? The grittiness of truly live instruments, without impulses and sample replacement is just too much for ya? Or do you just not care for anything else than metal?
Don't take this up the wrong way. I'm just asking... :)

I might add that the "mastered" version isn't clipping and pumping (not to my knowledge anyway), like you might think from what I wrote. It's just not as loud as I want it.
