Rakst á þennann texta við Master of Puppets með metallica, í honum er verið að tala um yfirgengilega flata og leiðinlega masteringu Rick Rubin's á death magnetic plötunni, hvernig búið er að drepa alla dínamík með yfir-masteringu o.s.frv.

Það skilja þetta kanski ekki allir, en mestu nördarnir ná þessu líklega :P

Maður þarf líka helst að kunna textann/melodíuna í master of puppets til að ná þessu almennilega held ég

MASTERED BY MUPPETS

End of session day, Rubin works away:
I'm your source of song-destruction
Tunes that hurt you ear, poor sound engineer
Leaving spikes on my instruction
Trust me you will see
Volume´s all you need
Dedicated to
How I'll limit you

Compressing faster
Limit your Master
Your albums sell faster
With a loud Master
Master

Mastered by muppets, brickwalling your dreams
Clipping, distorting and smashing extremes
Ruined by me, you can't hear a thing…
Just spiking snares, and auto-tuned screams
Mastered
Mastered
Rubin´s my name, and I'll hear you scream
Bastard
Bastard

Need to mix this way, never you dismay
“Loud” makes death magnetic clearer
Gain monopoly, ritual Waves L3
Squash your tracks til it´s severe
Gate and you will see
More and more dB
Dedicated to
How I´m killing you

Compressing faster
Limit your Master
Your albums sell faster
With a loud Master
Master

Mastered by muppets, brickwalling your dreams
Clipping, distorting and smashing extremes
Ruined by me, you can't hear a thing…
Just spiking snares, and auto-tuned screams
Mastered
Mastered
Rubin´s my name, and I'll hear you scream
Bastard
Bastard

Master, Master, where's the version I've been after?
Bearded, Bastard, you promised only lies
Blaster, Blaster, recorded on a ghetto blaster?
Laughter, laughter, laughing at those highs
Spike to me!

Lars ain´t worth all that - “natural” kick and hats
Kirk adds wah without a reason
Never ending phrase, Jaymz goes on for days
Rob, your shirt is out of season…
I´ll record til 5 (then)
I will help you buy
Sandals that suit you
Now you look cool too
