Mastered vs Unmastered @ fredman w. Clips.

Thanks!

I think the mix is great but the mastering is a bit too squashed for my taste. The cymbals are pumping in the louder parts pretty much.
 
Hi,

I think some people would find it interesting to hear the difference between a mastered track vs the unmastered version. So here we go, this is the same clip that i posted in the Rate my mix session. Just import into your DAW and set the levels. It is mastered at Studio fredman.

Enjoy!!!

Quite amazing, really fresh!

Btw, what comes to symbals I don't think they're squashed and it's more eq, they sound same when the eq is applied to original unmastered mix.
 
Tnx for posting this!

Were you using ani master bus compresion when mixing? It sounds like you were! Great mix and great master!
 
The guitars must've had some compression at least. Think I preferred the mastered one, but I just streamed it, didn't do it more thorough. The guitars popped too much in the unmastered one. Great mix nonetheless, must be easy money mastering these kinds of mixes.
