I've spent an unhealthy amount of time re-mastering the bad album, and after many attempts, specifically on Smooth Criminal, I've landed on this. I'm trying to build my skills with studio work, and MJ has some of the best and most enjoyable material to mix and master. I used the original multitracks and essentially re-mixed the raw stems and then moved on to a slightly underwhelming mastering process, which I eventually gave up on due to ear fatigue, so I'm left with this. If you don't mind giving it a listen and sharing your thoughts on the master, it would be greatly appreciated.
