| I get really good results mixing down with Logic Pro 7 than say Cubase SX or PT. But then again I used to get good mixes with my blackface ADAT and a Mackie.
A good signal is key. I always record kiks and snares loud, and then turn them down if I need to. Good kiks are hard to find.
But as far as mastering goes, I think that it's more of a tweak than a mix thing and you can't dig those kik and snare freqs from nothing. I think that most of the top ME's will be able to master a hip hop record if he/she has something to work with.
