I'm no expert but I find A more loud and "punchy" if I could say so.. but I find B more clear and detailed

Don't really know which I like more. Both sound nice though !

Master A, bass is just right, Master B sounds thinner. I'd go with A.

A sounds better, B is thin and tinny as I crank the volume.

What?

This is a twenty second song that you are mastering?????????

How much is that per hour or should I say per minute.... Besides to master a song you need to know alot more that twenty seconds... You need the whole thing....

And I disagree with everyone... Remix it....
I dont hear drums just white noise ~

A is no doubt the better master.
Although they both arent great sounding.

A sounds fuller in the low end and low mids although sounds a bit thin, probably too much highs or high mids or too big a cut in some frequnecy in the low mids.

B sounds horrible. Harsh, thin, lifeless.

Go back to the mixing stage and sort out the hi-hats. They sounds a bit brittle and too high endy.

A is a good bit louder also.
Make sure when you A/B that both files are at the same perceived volume.
