I like to use in mastering the Voxengo Elephant I don't even know if anyone uses that. For some reason I put it on years ago I'd try other things and now every time I try other things they don't give me A and B and I'm like something's missing I don't know what it is I use that to get my mix and get my blend before I send it off.

"In mastering music, especially Electronic stuff, you will always have to solve the problem that arises when your bass and your kick drum play at the same time. The combined amplitude can be enormous and very problematic if you run your final mix through a limiter like Voxengo Elephant (my personal favourite)."
