What do your mixes sound like before mastering?

Before/after clips?

I just wanna have some examples, just in case I wanna start sending my stuff to get mastered by other people!

I´m on laptop speaker right now, so can´t really say.. But, sounds pretty "O.K." Overheads are masking a bit, i guess. Have to listen on my NS10´s tomorrow to give you a full critique. Otherwise, guitars sound very "unreal". What amp sim did you use? Kick, or, especially drums in full could have more "punch"/Attack. Sound kind of dead in my ears. More aggressive would be the would, i figure.. Keep it up dude, like your stuff!
EDIT: I´m talking about the Hourglass Mix btw! And yeah, you could probably send that out and get back great results.
