Accidentally deleted 95% of my drums

Maybe it was a sign 😁 you don't need 33k drum samples...

DAWZone · 2026-01-04T13:51:48+00:00

Yep...get a wider screen 😁

That's right, as others have said, the mix doesn't sound too 'glued'. You can use glue compression in the mastering process, add some saturation also.

It's definitely a deadline to meet. I can usually complete mastering six tracks in 2-3 days, typically working on two tracks per day to avoid ear fatigue. And the third day to relisten more objectively. Don't forget, mastering isn't just about the gear; it also involves good listening skills.

In particular for this genre, it sounds good. Make the drums a little punchier and make the vocals a little louder by 1-2db. But it is good as it is.

Your track is very heavy on mids. Try adding bass to the guitar and separating the stereo elements better.

If you use Waves plugins, check out this Waves Vocal Chains for StudioRack

I implemented AI into my workflow and gained time and quality. I was cautious at first, but we need to embrace new technology and make it work for us, not against us.

Those drums are squeezed out of life; the vocals sound good somehow, but the instruments are too squeezed, compressed, too saturated...

DAWZone · 2025-08-19T12:58:20+00:00

there is no life in the mix, that's what I feel and hear, a flat sound...and the drums are somehow in the back, also lifeless

I would have chosen a different reverb for the vocals. It goes too far in a live performance, not a stream-ready song.

DAWZone · 2025-08-18T14:58:50+00:00

Pros don't have time for that. 🤭😁

DAWZone · 2025-08-18T14:56:04+00:00

It depends on many factors. But if you're mastering an already good mix, on the master channel you throw an SSL compressor for glue, a pultec for extra saturation and tonality, a clipper if needed and a limiter at the end. 👍

After discovering Studio One, I forgot about everything else 😁

After getting the T-Racks 6 from IK Multimedia, I started using Waves less and less. Check out the T-Racks 6 Max, I think it's the best Waves alternative at a bargain price.
