mastering or mixing is not subjective when it comes to quality and musical facts. there is good mix, there is good mastering also there are bad mix and mastering. but its subjective when it comes to a boomy, punchy, low end, etc mastering, or dark or brighter or etc... but if its a bad mastering, its not subjective. if its subjective why u care about mastering in your albums and work with brian? you can master it yourself and if people dont like it u can say its subjective no its not subjective. we are not talking about what type of mastering it is, we are talking about it is bad or good.anyway, focus made a Q&A in instagram before and a few people asked about the disapointing sound of compton compilation and he said its because of the guy who mastered the album. he pointed that production and mixing was great but mastering fucked everything up and he agrees people who thinks it doesnt sound good.
I thought Brian 'Big Bass' Gardner at Bernie Grundman Mastering, LA mastered all 3 Doc Dre albums
Richard "Segal" Huredia on "2001" ?
mastering was handled by big bass .. same as compton
i think focus may not be pointing big bass, there may be a another engineer responsible for pre-mastering.
