------ Them: So what does that involve exactly? You: (Straightfaced) Well I compress, surgically EQ, maybe fix a few clicks and pops, establish an overall volume flow and polish. Actually I use a Cranesong with Klaxon Virtual Upsizers for the most part then round it all off by nipping some of the Bass out of the frequency ethernet space to tighten things up. Sometimes I even bake the premaster in our special microwave condenser for 10-20 seconds to add that sugareyness that all your favourite bands have.
