One video I'll have to watch over and over again. I have a question though. How did your low end pull through when you used a high pass filter to make the kick and bass Mono(The side image concept)? Was 2 different tracks blended in with a cut on same points?

Interesting idea with double limiting. But if I use really very gentle limiting about 3 db max is it worth to use 2 limiters? Thank's in advance. Verdi

I'd add extra tip wich could be useful... Make two masters... One for "CD" and one for streaming service...

Very interestin the sandwuich tip...Pity no example for the most difficult step, the comparing Reference, you how match at start the volume lowering the reference (typically about -6dB, or by eyes looking at the waveforms, or by ear, ..?) ? How much can be useful Fab Pro if the I have to adjust every eq band ? Pheraps better Glisseq, master match of iK MM, Ozone or Gullfoss, isn't it ?

It seems that mastering engineers are heavily dependent on crappy mix engineers. I realize that mastering involves combining metadata and preparing the music for various sources, but if the mastering engineer has to try and fix a muddy stereo mix....the client should go back to the mix engineer and have them fix it.
