So what do you say is the best way for Mastering?
If you ask me, you have to keep it simple. Do your mixing via studio headphones (they have to be good, like these), then switch to your normal Hifi speakers and adjust the sound. Switch back to your headphones and check again. Do it as often as you need it to do until the result is good. For the mastering you don’t have to use that much in my opinion. Use a compressor in every single track of your song, and in your master channel you only need two things: a) Maximizer (Limiter) and b) Mixer EQ, that’s it. The mixing is the most important thing here, if your mixing is good you won’t have to work out that much on your mastering, because it’s already good. In relation to your mixing you can also add an EQ in every single track for adjusting bass, treble and mids, but don’t overdo it, do it slightly. Usually it doesn’t need much of that. That’s how I would do it. But I’m not a pro, so maybe it can be done better. If you want to hear how it sounds if you do it my way, you can have a look at my newest tracks posted yesterday, which you can find above.
