I did it. I won. Good luck getting any louder than this. You can all stop this sillyness now. Loudness doesn't matter, just make it sound good.

Lots of you requested I release this mix as it apparently "slaps". That means it's good, right? So you should now or soon be able to find it on all the usual platforms, or here on YouTube:

(You'd better hope the loudness normalisation works!)

$Headphones Are Not Stereo (mid side phase trickery) In which I talk about the way LCR mixes translate to headphones, warn of the potential dangers of mono-ing your low end without listening carefully to what that does, and show you some delightful ways to add depth to your mixes. Belatedly realising my description should probably include phrases such as mid side stereo processing, sum and difference, stereo width, depth and dimension. Oh, and phase, phase rotation, all pass filters and delay.

The last tip is Reaper specific, but everything else will work in any DAW.

A Totally Biased Review of the Kirchhoff EQ

$Shadow Hills Mastering Compressor Tips & Tricks Lots of people recently got a free copy of the Shadow Hills Mastering Compressor, but Ive had a license for a while, so I have an opinion already.
