Fixing a bad mix, while in the realm of a mastering engineer, is probably the last thing he would want to do to try and make it sound as good as possible.




Kevin, I really hate doing this, but not in my experience.

Sometimes you can be given an excellent product to work on - something which is well recorded and mixed with a nice leveling amp applied at the end. In a case like this, there's not a lot of work, if anything, to do, yet people still expect you to make it sound better.

On the other hand, you can take someone's huge disaster and very quickly make a noticeable difference. Easy money and less stress.
