and that course is much cheaper than others, such as the one I took

Well The Home Mastering Master Class starts again tomorrow. It's fantastic
and anyone who is serious about mastering should take this course. When it
comes to mastering, Ian Shepherd really knows his stuff. Info here:

Note if you are good at mixing it doesn't necessarily follow that you will
be a good mastering engineer as it's a very different and subtle discipline.

Subject: [ddots-l] Re: eq and compression questions
Chris, thank you for your info. Yes, I am extremely serious about
mixing and mastering music. I have a customer in my studio presently,
and I want to give him as much as I can for his money.
I will study everything I can find on this subject, and learn how to
adjust my settings to sound better in my ear.
Thanks for your helpful advice.
