And for those that wish to hear the uncompressed .WAV file (only 55 seconds long so it shouldnt be too bad to download)

Mastering is something I use lightly. Since a lot of people thought the guitar tone I had before contained some shrill in the high end, I eased up the high by taking out the high shelf itself, and instead just tried to make the mix a bit bright in place of the guitar tone.

Made more sense to me this way, I realized I didnt necessarily want a brighter guitar tone, but a brighter mix.

So this is my attempt, for "Mastering" I have just two Waves plugins on my master:

Waves Q-10

-2.5db at 500hz, medium wide bell

+1.5db at 1000hz, tighter bell

+2.5db at 7100hz, high shelf (thinking maybe ease this up, 1.5-2.0db maybe?)

L3-LL Multi-Maximizer (I use these pretty lightly, I am not a fan of pushing the track too hard as my equipment isn't quite that capable)

Threshold of -1.6

Output Ceiling -0.3

+0.5db of gain between the 1500hz - 4000hz area
