Nice job, DC! At my "normal" listening loudness this material sounds a bit "thick" to my ears as I'm not used to turning this up. But as soon as I turn it up to "stun" it sounds like it's supposed to. I'm not exactly sure what this means, except that I know I have to learn how to make this mental adjustment because I could not (or would not choose to) master at that loudness for any period of time.
I would really like to hear the raw mix on this one, if DC were generous to oblige. It sounds like a first-rate mix, certainly better than I had to work with in the sample that I put up. The vocals have excellent fullness. DC definitely has his Black Sabbath ears on.
Another observation: The guitar buzz immediately clamps down as soon as the cymbal hits. Was this in the mix or did it happen in the mastering?
I choose limiter 2. Limiter 2 has slightly more depth while Limiter 1 is as flat as a pancake. My guess is Limiter 2 is the TC set to "Loud". Also, limiter 2 sounds a hair brighter than 1, but I do not think this is limiter distortion in this case.
Let the games continue!
