Help with mastering a song?

[tratledge]

Hey everyone,

I was hoping that maybe someone out there who's good with mastering can help me out with this. I'm very new to mastering (and yes, I know many of you will make comments about this mix, but please try to keep from doing that too much, as I only want to focus on mastering at this point, I need to improve in both areas quite drastically, that I know).

The following is a link to the stereo mixdown:

4shared.com - online file sharing and storage - download ghost-premaster.aif

Could someone possibly be so kind, if they have time, to master this and just kind of go through the process of what you did and what tweaks you applied to get it to sound the way you did? I have Ozone 4 and Logic 9 so I have at least *decent* tools at my disposal (please don't harp on me for not having professional equipment; I know I don't, I'm just doing the best with what I have ). I have tried several things but I just can't get the master to sit correctly.

Thanks to anyone who helps out!

*chuckle* Do I actually seem that untrustworthy? I'm not really sure how you'd pack viruses into .aif files....

That's very kind of you to do! You can send it to tratledge at gmail dot com, if the file you burned was an mp3. Otherwise, you'll need to use some file sharing service if you saved it as an aif, 'cause that'd be too big for email.
