cool, thanx for your fb! initially the guitars were too low in the verse, so i pushed them up, maybe a little bit too much. i lowered them 1.5 db, sounds better now. i also pulled the reverb down on the snare. the band didnt like that either ;-)
any suggestions (guidelines) for compression on the 2-bus? plugins? compressor / limiter settings (thresholds, ratios, attack, release etc...) that somehow always seems to be my biggest problem when mastering. tried a lot but somehow its not really improving anything. disregarding the crackling, sonnox oxford limiter seems to give the best results, makes it loud without eating the punch in the snare. second best imo was izotope ozone, waves L2 is teh_suck! ;-) the pops and cracks dont seem to come from distortion, when i zoom in on the track the peaks dont look cut off at all. havent experienced that with any other limiters, only with the oxford.
ps: about being a noob: the more you learn the more you find out about how much you have yet to learn ;-)
