Think about buger King. The client is the boss. If the mix is great from the start. Than a louder vocal is a teaste thing. Costumer is always right, even if they know nothing. On Feb 26, 2015, at 10:27 AM, Chad Morrison chadmorrisonmob...@gmail.com wrote: Hello all, I realize I might be out

I'd love to meet the mastering engineer who can supposedly bring those louder than already too loud vocals back down. This is just the same thing as saying fix it in the mix but one stage removed. IE, not a good idea. My advice is simple. Give him your opinion, along with some reference tracks.
