from a quick scan seems a decent tutorial
pick up mastering audio the art and science by bob katz man like 40% and when you're in the mentality of mastering when doing a mixdown as long as you have headroom left for your ME and leave the main channel untouched you'll be in the right boat

looks good to me.

mixing down works more or less the same for any genres - learn the basics and you're 90% there :)

Some of my frineds say my tunes sound good but a little flat. They say i should try and make them "bigger" . But to be onest i have no idea where to start.. I use compression, reverb, delay, eq's etc. Do you guys advise things like stereo imagers and enhancers on sounds to make things bigger?

I realise this doesn't actually fit in the topic, sorry for that.. :wink:
