Hey guys,
There's this one mix I have, whenever I master it the snare drops wayyy back. I have no idea what to make of it, since it doesn't usually happen to me. I've cranked the snare in the mix to be audibly louder than everything else, yet the mastering compression always pulls it WAYY back, like all you can hear is the verb tail. I've also tried the other way around, lowering the snare to sit in the mix, with similar results.
Is there anything you guys do to stop the master limiter destroying your snare?
