Thanks Josh. Could you point me to some of those discussions? All my searches in the Ableton forums point me to discussions about how to master yourself.
I have indeed checked out the Tarekith tutorials and they are useful and informative, but for all the reasons biru so eloquently wrote, I've given up on trying to do it myself.
For one thing, my home studio is in a small room with no acoustic treatment (just drywall) and I'm mixing on M-Audio BX8as. Good enough for my purposes, but not nearly a neutral listening environment.
Another benefit to having someone master one's tracks is that in the EDM world, we so often produce alone (which I actually like), but it makes it hard to assess our tracks objectively for mastering purposes.
