Mastering 101

Hey Gang... Long time no see!

I've been lazy with my Mastering because I rarely need to do it. When I work at home, I'm comfortable enough with MY gear to make it work.

But now that I'm working more and more in unfamiliar studios with unfamiliar monitoring, I'm trying to hone the craft... Especially by using a random selection of plug-ins. I don't always have access to the same set.

I HOPE that I won't need to Master often, but just in case...



Here are 4 versions. Each clip is about 2 minutes, but please feel free to skip around.

Is there one that is clearly better? Why?

Is there one that is clearly BAD? Why?



Any thoughts are greatly appreciated!
