The answer is simply backing off how much you are clipping it. Clipping by its nature induces some amount of distortion - the more you clip the more distortion you will get.

also the snare is very soft, can I just add a snare on top of that again?
You can do whatever you want - but my own practice would be to
instead go back to the original mix and bring up the snare.

but it's really loud otherwise. see it's tips like these that I like. I don't need to spend buckets of money on gear. with my laptop and some m-audio pro speakers, I can get my mixes as loud as anyone doing this for money. maybe i should charge for this . anyone here from the midwest area? how much do you guys charge for mastering?
