Hi there guys, been here for a while, but this is probably my second post. Anyways, had to master a song for some friends, but the guy who mixed delivered something really crude with no vibe whatsoever and LOUD (the mix had a value of -13dbfs RMS and he said he had no Limiter on the Master Bus or in any other bus so go figure...).
So this is what i could achieve after various plugins (by the way this is al ITB, no money for hardware yet).
First thing i tried was a new plugin by Terry West that claims it can restore dynamics and distorted audio back to its origins, or at least the closer you can get it for now. The i used a lot of other plugins like Nebula for the analog mojo, some reverb by Ariesverb since the original was so dry even for today's standards, and also lots of eqs and finally some limiting by Oxford (sorry for the volume but the guys wanted something loud and i really didn't had a nice mix to work with).
So sorry for the long post, this is the before (mixed by the guy) and the after (mastered by me).
Really need some advice as i have to give it back to them asap.

Any comments are appreciated

(Sorry had to zip the files to fit here).
