Any thoughts?

Mastering engineers are often looking to add some "boom and tizz" to the mix, plus some level. I often left a little work to do in the top end so they could add their juice. Occasionally I'd see cuts, often to excessive bass end from other's mixes or occasionally top end but not so often. I've mastered at most of the main mastering houses in and around London.
