I dont technically master, I just try to push the mix as much as I can. But corrective (Should be subtractive aka minute cuts when mastering) Eq should come before your Compression, then everything else.

What Constitutes a Classic Album?
Right, its impact within its era and how people feel about that era. Agreed Queen! I think the inspiration part is a good distinction. The effect the project had on peers and future generations may be a very good indicator. Every artist has atleast one album that made them want to do what...- UNORTHODOX

What Constitutes a Classic Album?
When you say different, you mean it seperates its self from everything else? or it just sounds different? Agreed, Lasting power may be the biggest component.

Suits, reflecting on life, mingling with the youngsters (J Cole, Drake, etc.) etc. I think Skidmatic could do something with the right tracks...- UNORTHODOX

How old, is too old?
Buying Albs and Merch is way more important than what net hype gets you (Downloads/views/blogs. Most people arent dropping dollars. Salute to you for that). Your spending $$$ makes people successful. ...and I dont think it defeats the purpose, a 30+ y/o winning in the music market is still...- UNORTHODOX

Exactly. If you have the talent and the will, use it, and the way will find you. (Good points Dac) The way a 30+ y/o could do it is in a.. Gorillas or Weeknd sort of way. As long as he keeps his image mysterious or hidden, and has dope music that doesnt make him/her sound dated or...- UNORTHODOX

Idk if currency is the right word. But, recognition is make or break type important. They may not get another high visibility placement because of it but they couldve made alot more if Mac gave'em that space. Slightly off topic side note: View counts are the most overrated gauge of impact...- UNORTHODOX
