I was going to make that comparison, but left it out, for the sake of simplicity.

Mixing and 'mastering' with the same set of ears in the same listening environment simply doesn't make any sense.

I booked another studio and explained the issue up front. Hope it goes well. But it would be great to get premium results at home. Thank you so very much for the advice.

Luckily Plugin-Alliance have just released their Febreze plug-in. Full saturation control including negative values. Subscription-only right now, but it will probably be on sale at Walmart come next black friday.

Another great plugin with AAX-DSP support. Great to see.
