Hi guys, im having a hard time with this one. I have a few tracks that im really happy with and are at their final stages, but i feel like the "master i throw on there is part of the sound im trying to achieve. (if that makes any sense)
I do A LOT of work to glue the track in the master. every time I work on something, ill finish it up and realize (after the master chain) that something isnt right and go back into the track to adjust for the master so it sounds good
Do i just let go completely and let the mastering house do all the work or,. do i do my own master to make sure everything works well together, then delete everything on the master and send it like that? i feel like this would be the best way because for instance, ill squash it in the master and realize maybe the highs are too much or the sub is taking up too much headroom, so ill then adjust the sub itself or the hats and higher freq. to account for the final compression and limiting.
I already know -6 blah blah blah. no compression blah blah. but the compression is what creates the sound im going for!
If any of this makes sense, please help. lol
