Up until a few months ago, I'd "master" my mixes on the master bus with multiband compression and basically ruin everything. I also always did it at the end of a long mix session so my ears were to tired to notice I was destroying the mix. Now, I do almost nothing on the master bus but maybe a final EQ and some limiting, if necessary. The two mixes couldn't be more different as far as dynamics go. I also used the spill into the floor tom mic to reinforce the ride cymbal so it doesn't just sound like stick noise.
V2 sounding more relaxed and lively at the same time. Deffinately more natural and musical. You can certainly hear the compression pulling on the first mix in comparison.
Well Done
