..this is what "eprom" says for the premastering stage:
Mix your track down so that you are really, really happy with it. As good as you can possibly get it. Use sidechaining, distortion, compression, and whatever else you need to get it sounding as loud as possible. Bounce it in as high resolution as you need, with the highest peaks below 0dB - most mastering houses will say below -6dB - and load it into a new project file. This may seem like an extra step, but it is important philosophically because then you are committed to having the track done, and when you open it up in a new project with just the audio waveform, you are committed to working on the mastering alone, and not going back to make compositional changes.
