High Quality hi-fi speakers are difficult enough to mix on.

IN no way, shape or FUCK ALL... should bad speakers be used to master on.



It seems you don't really understand what "mastering" means.....

Think someone else made the same mistake as you already, he's not trying to master ON crappy speakers, but FOR them. ;)

Thank you lol

and about the waveform, if you read my post i was having problems with muddyness, so i was trying to free up the midrange, so yes i was looking at waveforms of individual instruments trying anything to look for problems that might free up some headroom or something. I am in no way close to a professional and came to this forum for ADVICE. Not for someone to try and make me look stupid without asking any questions or giving any tips that might actually help. to me your post was not constructive or helpful in any way so why post it. I dont care how many posts you make in other threads that help people because thats not what you were doing here.

Just saying, that section in the track from the guy who started this whole thread sounded muddy on my monitors and headphones, so not only on crappy speakers. Also I don't get what's all the fuzz with saying that the waveform on Soundcloud looks wrong. It really looked like there's something in the low end eating all your headroom and clashing with something because it didn't still sound that loud.

Sorry - that was my bad for reading it with the wrong inflection....


I read it as Mastering FOR crappy speakers - MEANING WITH crappy speakers... all apologies due!
