No, no, I didn't mean to imply in any way that it was mashed. The dynamics are obvious in all your mixes. I've been dragged kicking and screaming into this 14 LUFS thing. I finally decided to adopt it after reading Spotify's comments on mastering.

And yes for a CD I think the objective is for the levels of all the tunes to approximate a target -- loud or quite.

Again, I detest stuff for which the waveform looks like a 2x4 board, i.e., squashed. And yours never sound that way.

There is nothing for you to apologize for as I've had my monitors set at a certain volume, comfortable for me, for my remastering some songs...well remastering only in the sense of lowering the loudness.
Guess I'd kinda gotten used to it. We stream everything we listen to in the home, in the vehicle, etc., so I just decided that for our next EP I'd go with the trend and master specifically for the platforms.

Again, FWIW!
