    I posted a work-in-progress a while back. My song is just about finished.
    I was hoping for a bit of advice…. I’m not really knowledgable about compression and limiting and other “mastering” things…. what should I do to finish off this track?

    Listen very carefully to your heart and the music within.
    Your greatest tool is your imagination.

    The so called “Mastering” is nothing but the artificial establishment of the alleged “industry”, and therefore it applies only to those, whose goals are commercial and profit driven.
    And this has nothing to do with objective quality ( the loudness wars for an example ) and art in general. Quite the contrary. [-X

    That being said, great job my friend. It sounds very clear. And if it sounds like the tunes in your mind, then it is already complete. No need to pursue some obscure standards in an effort to sound “pro”. Only you can define what is acceptable or not for you.
    As to compression and limiting, I didn’t notice their absence, so…

    Vibe On

    Peace

    That sums it up nicely.

    In the days of vinyl records you needed a bit of mastering so as not to exceed the limited dynamic range of an LP. In the days of digitally recorded music, mastering only serves the purpose of processing away most of the dynamics so that a song will sound as loud as possible on the radio, sucking the life out of the music in the process.

    The recording sounds finished to me. You have talent and a good ear. That’s all you need.
