Yes, That is what mastering facilities are for. 1. Don't comp
Yes, That is what mastering facilities are for.
1. Don't compress your 2-bus to the point where it cannot be mastered.
2. To add spice to a mix, watch your panning and try not to pan instruments within the same frequency/harmonic range at the same location.
3. Spread your high frequencies wide.
4. Watch your meters on your final recording deck for R/L balance.
5. If you intend on using a professional mastering facility, keep your levels resonable. Peaks of -6 are fine, let the mastering house provide the "juice" to have a wonderful product.
If you want to send me a snippit to show you what can be done, I will gladly accept it. I have AIM, ICQ, and Yahoo for file transfers. On DSL, wav. files are fine!
