Joey, you got any Waves plug ins ?

Lurssen Mastering Console is quick and easy.
I prefer something else, but LMC is pretty good.

I've used LANDR and also hired Mastering engineers at prices I can afford and LANDR wins every time - consistently.   Just sayin... Especially their latest engine update

Good to know. Any of the songs from your SoundCloud sig mastered by LANDR? I'm interested to hear some good results. Which subscription plan are you using?

It will take some practice, and there are some who believe you shouldn't master your own material, but you can get pretty close to mastering quality with what you have.
 
If you're interested in DIY mastering, a good place to start is with ProChannel presets. There are several there for mastering. Add in LP MB and/or LP EQ as needed, and (optionally) Tape/Saturation/Harmonics/Imaging effects as part of an FX chain. Put Boost 11 (or one of the other limiters) at the end of your chain.
 
Craig Anderton is working on some DIY mastering content, but it's still a couple of months away, and is expected to be part of the new eZine launching in May.
