I'm working on reason and it exports as wav, then i put it into neundo 3, i try to ensure the project freq range and sample rates are the same as the reason wav, but it always seems to come out muffled. I'll try play with dynamics and eq.

Critical listening is almost a must for artists who like to mix and master their own tracks. Glad to have songs from "Thriller" recognized...the whole album is the pop-music blueprint.
