    Default Mastering songs

    Hey DJ Techtoolers!

    I am really into producing at the moment and really getting my flight-hours lately. But at the end of the song, ofcourse it needs to be mastered. Not yet very good at it.

    Could you guys give me some pointers to make this remix sound better? Just some general tips and stuff I might have forgotten! Thanks!

    I think your biggest issue is going to be that the track is already pretty heavily compressed it sounds like, to the point it's distorting in places. Are you using anything on the master channel of your DAW in this version?

    Hey man, this is with FL Studio, using plug-ins like Massive, True Pianos and some other synths and there is some Sausage Fattener on the bass-line.

    I used Izotope 5 and tried to master it a bit using the dynamics, imagizer, maximizer. And I always get that problem where my track sounds over-compressed ! But otherwise I don't hear certain sounds... I am probably doing something terribly wrong in my mixing.

    Here's some more guides (including a mixdown one) that might help:

    Thanks Tarekith! I ran into those a few months ago, but right now I feel i got to the point I could actually understand it and apply it!

    How do you like the remix btw? Or is it not your kind of music?
