Noob be asking stupid questions !!
What EQ is ideal for mastering please I'm doing the 101 course and just testing out all plugins and headphone and monitors just trying to get a a understanding of it all. I am a beginner so lots to do but if can? can you give a rough idea of any EQ ideas please, I know to use a analogue type but what's best ? I've got VM FG-A ? OR VM FG-S .. EQ P1A That seem ok just not sure if i should be looking somewhere else thanks

There is no certain EQ that is ideal as they are all good, even the stock ones. Just play with a number of them to learn what they can do for you in certain situations. If you aren't hearing subtle differences, a trick is to boost or cut way beyond what you know is right and then back off to where you just her hear that change. That applies to many different plugins or analog gear. You have to hear them.

Mixing Samples
HI anyone knows how to perfectly mix a soul sample or any chopped sample for hip hop??

The genre doesn't matter as much as the skill level and tools you use to do it.

Glen Hansard
Hey everyone! An absolute legend of Irish music passed away far too soon this week. Some of you may know Glen Hansard, and if you don’t, take some time this week to check out his music. From busking on the streets of Dublin to Oscar glory, he always seemed to keep his feet firmly on the ground. Thanks for the tunes, Glen.

Steven Slate vsx
Hi guys, I don’t have a treated room quite yet, I’ve been looking for some mixing headphones that would be honest with the mix. Has anybody here tried the VSX headphones by Steven Slate Audio yet? What are your thoughts?

Yes, they are a very good alternative to rooms that you can't really treat properly. If you buy the Platinum package, all new additions, updates, and upgrades are free, and they keep introducing plenty over the two years I have used them.

Reference track louder than mastered track
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1lmrB9GMSeJW18Gt4hAeZClL2oCI0Zic5/view?usp=drivesdk https://drive.google.com/file/d/18yU-oljh4JIO8i_pMvRjsQNmmxmrwKmq/view?usp=drivesdk The first track is my mastered track. The second track is the reference track. I feel like I’m so close. I metered both tracks and I’m just 3dB quieter than the reference track. But I also have a limiter at the end of my master chain and it’s pushing like around -9dB of reduction. I know that’s too much but I’m still trying to get to that commercial level. I think I’m gonna start over at the mix. Any thoughts from you all?

Keep at it. Your transient spikes might need more taming but be careful you don't lose the punch or overcompress the dynamics. I'm not hearing the lows in your master, and it sounds squashed compared to the reference.
