Never use commercial spectrum analizers like on iTunes or Winamp. They are not accurate and very biased.

And never use Winamps EQ, cos it totally fucks up the sound.

Why ever use an EQ on a finished song? It's basicly like saying 'Fuck You' to all the eqing the producer did..

Uhmm, well i think you are wrong there. IF i master the track my self, i always cut some in the mids, and boost the lows, not much, just to separate the bass more from the rest, gets a more "rolling" sound if u get it right.

no matter how good u are as a producers, there often is a bit of "reverb skin overflow" that needs to be taken care of. Of course this depends on if you like using alot of reveb, like i do.

Then what if someone boosts the mids and lowers the lows in winamp? (My friend does this, his windows media player EQ is just a diagonal line boosting highs and taking down lows) Doesn't that defeat the purpose of your mastering?

Maybe, but what i meant was that, im always aiming to get the sound fill out the whole sound spectrum as much as i can, and if u have some "delay/reverb" skin thats tends to go higher than, let say the Kick, cus u dont want any other sounds to go over the kick, right?

Why? becuse when u the master it and then put a maximaizer, to "push" the vol. up, u get some unwanted clipping, highs and mids, thats why i eq. But it often veeeerry little, but just so that is doest clip to much!

But on the other hand, i often dont master my tracks my self, i have some one else do it!
