UUUUHHHHHHGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG Somewhere along the way I must have changed the fade at the end on the bass. Now it rings after the synth at the very end. So, I'm gonna import the 16/44.1 mastered file into PTs and fix the fade on the 2-track wav and then export at 16/44.1. Will this damage anything? Do I need to add dither? Or do I need to fix it in the mix and send back for another mastering pass? Bob Olhsson

Also trying the "D" option to see if that's somewhat of an "in-between" on loudness from E to A

16 bit has already been dithered, I would not dither again, you will be adding noise to your file for no reason...

JK - have you worked with the NuGen metering plug in at all? In addition to giving reading on LUFS and PLR, It has a really handy feature that allows you to hear your mix through the various loudness limiting and compression schemes of a variety of distribution channels, including iTunes, Spotify, etc. The Spotify option even lets you hear the difference between their regular and premium resolutions.
Im sure they are not exact, given there is bound to be some proprietary stuff in there, but you may find it really useful - especially when trying to find the balance between expected loudness and desired dynamic range.
There are some pretty good articles on the internets digging through exact what is going on in each companies "sound check" programs, but the big idea is that you can at lest hear what will likely happen to your file on whatever you expect to be your targeted end platform.

You can also minimize the impact of the different platform's own automatic DSPs by loudness normalization to the platforms standard, AFAIK Spotify and itunes radio and broadcast stations etc. may have different loudness standards. I do not know the numbers though... Just another thought on the topic... Hrrrmmmm. Brave new digital world....

I liked E better than A, but I understand the need to be competitive and A still sounds really good. Great song John! Are you detuning the drums or is that just the samples?

Yeah, they sound great! I think I'm going to start mixing my toms louder after hearing this! The whole thing sounds really modern and traditional at the same time.

I just realized the "Basic" mix gets rid of a lot of the room...but I'm bouncing them down from SD2 anyway, so the mix in the plug doesn't matter much.
