[LAU] Mastering question (not software, but technique)

[Julien Claassen]

Hello Reuben!
   Thanks for the advice an detail you've gone into.
   Here's a bit more: Of course I know that I've got frequencies all over the 
spectrum, but if I know the key and pick bands center on dominant notes 
(especially for the bass), I can push up the main frequencies of that 
instrument. The effect should be that the main components of the piece are 
clearly audible, rather sharper than in the original.
   the final sound I'd like to have: Loud, crisp and clearly distinguishable 
instruments.
   I'm not asking for the final recepe, but a good starting point. Mastering 
should happen with each song (or most of them) and doing that in a text-based 
setting, I have to deal with around 80 parameters and it would be good to have 
at least a sensible starting point.
   Kindest regards and thanks again
       Julien
