I guess my ears just aren't trained or anything, because I keep listening to the pre master version of my song, and I can never notice any distortion, but every time I send it back to my mastering engineer, it always comes back distorted. Take a listen:
Pre-Master
I Dont Need You Mix 3
Post-Master
I Dont Need You MM2
I've already tried taking away frequencies in the powerful kicks & 808's, since that's what I think it is. The beat doesn't have distortion so I think for some reason the vocals don't want to work with the kicks or some other instrument.
I definitely believe this is something I'm doing since when I listened in the studio it kind of did have distortion on the monitors, but I swear I fixed it. I just don't know.
Is it my ears are horrible, and I'm missing something, or could it be the mastering engineer?
Also you can tell me anything else you find wrong with the mix.
