    The sounds you used are really distorted, and it might be the speakers im on... but everything you have in that preview lacks depth.

    You should work on EQ'ing and maybe adding a sub layer.

    I'd say just forget about mastering and worry more about your mix.

    Ive been following lucky date for a while now, and hes always talking about how he doesn't "believe" in mastering. basically he's never been happy with anything he has gotten back from mastering so he just makes the mix sound really good then adds some light limiting to bring up the volume.

    The more sound engineers I talk to,it seems like the point of getting your sounds mastered is so that all your sound tracks can be at the proper levels and that you can hear the song THE WAY IT'S SUPPOSE TO BE HEARD

    You can't polish a turd.

    That being said, I have not listened to it.
    You are the producer, should not master you own tracks.

    They should sound as close to the real deal as possible, BEFORE mastering takes place.

    If the sounds you use are low quality, there is no way mastering can make it better.

    just sayin...
