First Assignment, Mastering 101

Hi everybody, new to the community, this is my first time sharing here my experience with the Mastering Assignment after finishing the 101 mastering tutorial

I was able to reach the -9 RMS goal, but the concerning part is that when I see other figures like LFUS Integrated, short-term, and True Peak, all those numbers are super high, see captures

I don't hear anything way off vs reference, so I'm wondering if there's something that I have to pay attention to, or should I trust my ears, not very reliable at this stage though

The other thing is that I haven't used any saturation. I'm not a big fan of saturation, so I thought it wasn't needed. I tried it a bit, but didn't like it, so I got rid of it.

I ended up with some clip gain for both tracks and only some mild compression limiting, and -1 clip ceiling to reach the -9 goal

Any thoughts and feedback will be appreciated
