Ian Shepherd wrote a great post called Do You Make These 6 Home Mastering Mistakes.
I've been guilty of a few of them in the past, especially #1,
but continuous improvement is the way to mastery (no pun intended).

Ian actually mastered one of my albums. The debut album from The Long Wait. I'm excited to tell you that I'll be talking to him next week about the entire process. He made all my mismatched mixes that sounded good on their own sound like a nice flowing album.
He did a fantastic job and I know I'll learn a lot from the interview so I'll also send that your way once it's done.
All right guys, check out the 6 Home Mastering Mistakes, then grab your copy of the Home Mastering Masterclass and get my $49 Quick Mixing/Mastering course for free :)
Cheers!
