Ok, this is the deal. I was in my audio recording class the other day, and my prof. was talking about how he liked to put the snare drum a little to the left side of the speakers because that's where it naturally is in a drum set. WHOA...that little phrase gave me a mind fuck. I never really realized the full possibilities that there are when you master something using that mindset. So, using that knowledge and other implied knowledge form brainstorming about this scenario. I decided to remaster my most recent song, Sizzle. This is the part where you as the listener come in. I need you to first off tell me where this song sounds good overall, then I would really appreciate it if you would critique the fuck out of it, mastering wise. Please no flaming though; I'm still sorta new to this type of mastering technique. Oh, and here's the original version I uploaded a while back that you can use for a comparison if you like:

First off, I like the boom with the bass in the beginning. It it sounds significantly better than the original version. Moving along. Right at 00:14, the transition is nice and smooth and sounds good. The panning effect with the different pitch and tone of the instruments sounds great as well. That's a nice build-up to the drums and high hat at around 00:45 and sounds great through to the ending.
Over all it sounds great. Nice remaster.

I have to say, being someone who started his music tastes in rock and metal, I'm loving the snare slightly to the left. I actually think you did a great job on the mastering. Things never get too buried into the mix when they shouldn't. At first I wasn't liking the placing of the trance lead, but once I got some more context that changed. Honestly, I can't really pick out anything negative about the mastering itself, though I'm not expert. I just have a basic knowledge of recording and mastering. But with what I know it all sounds good.
To me it sounds like the snare and high hat got a higher pitch (but I tend to hear a lot of things differently ), and it makes the song a bit livelier throughout. So far I also agree with everything everyone else says, though the natural bass of your songs has required me to turn the bass in my car down to 0, and keep my sub woofer nowhere above 2.
yea, the reason for that is mostly because, car stereo systems (even really good ones) tend to have their frequency responses turned up on the low end of the audible spectrum. Since i master all of my songs on speakers with a completely flat frequency response, I turn my bass up to where I think it sounds correct for my speakers. But, when other people listen to it their stereos will boost the low end even more causing it to sound really bassy. I've thought about mastering it differently to compensate for this difference, but then that would defeat the purpose of having studio monitors. The reason I have studio monitors is so I can master my music for bigger , calibrated sound systems.
