Believe me, sometimes you need to do it................we're there to give the client what they want.........sometimes that's a ridiculously loud mastering while retaining
some semblance of punch.......that will have to come at the cost of distortion.
In the last few weeks i've done some tracks that were idiotically loud and distorted........it's what the clients wanted........i just smile and push the big red button.
