Before there is another thread on mastering i think you all should take a few minutes and watch this:

Everybody Listen Up
There's no sane reason that you should want to kill the dynamic range of your track. Especially in electronic music where there already aren't much dynamics because so few people actually play keys anymore.kdgh wrote:if you want your record loud, you should take a better look on your mix instead of your master.

Just because you want to make a track sound loud doesn't mean you have to kill the dynamic range of a track. By peak limiting to sh!t... This whole talk is so blah blah blah blah inconclusive. There isn't a standard how this should be done and thank fucking god for that or we would have no innovations.Torque wrote:There's no sane reason that you should want to kill the dynamic range of your track.

To me techno sounds better now than ever. The tools you are provided with allow for ultimate precision on a mix and mastering is salt and pepper like kdgh said.
If you can't make it sound loud and whil retaining a good dynamic range you aren't doing it right.
