I'm in a production/dj duo called sPlash.
We've managed to put out about 12 songs without really paying too close of attention to our mastering. I guess we've kinda gotten lucky with what we've done so far.
We're working on a big track right now, and it's CRUCIAL that the mastering is perfect; however, I would never forgive myself if I send it to a professional mastering firm lol.
I've tried for two days to master this song.. I had a little amount tweaks in the master track, where I exported it at around -3.1 db as a wav @ 48000. I started a new project of my mix to master it, and after watching 3 videos on how to master well using logic, my mix still seems to sound like crap.
I'm not quite sure what to do, I would really like to learn fast. My friends Milk n Cookies are really good at mastering and their songs sound really clean and crispy but they use ableton so they can't help me.
I used a compressor, an exciter, a stereo spreader, some EQing, and an Adaptive Peak Limiter on my track, which sounds great in Logic, but only kind of decent when bounced to my desktop.
Someone help
