What kind of Monitors do you use? Are you happy with them? What would you like to have?

I guess it's kinda true that all roads lead to Rome, so with different EQs we can both get to a good mix I did my EQ adjustments to the tracks first, and then watched the tutorial and had some discrepancies, but all in all, I like the way it sounds to the reference The drum track has a clave or something super loud, and it wasn't addressed in the Tutorial, that's why my drums EQ is so different. In my case, I "fixed" that clave sound but couldn't match the snare I did a bit more than just EQing, with some saturation and in the Main Bus Glue Compressor, Limiting, and Clipping Let me know what you think https://drive.google.com/file/d/14vvPiKs-UUnWNoSiAM0OPniECFhFKIj-/view?usp=sharing

Hi everybody, new to the community, this is my first time sharing here my experience with the Mastering Assignment after finishing the 101 mastering tutorial I was able to reach the -9 RMS goal, but the concerning part is that when I see other figures like LFUS Integrated, short-term, and True Peak, all those numbers are super high, see captures I don't hear anything way off vs reference, so I'm wondering if there's something that I have to pay attention to, or should I trust my ears, not very reliable at this stage though The other thing is that I haven't used any saturation. I'm not a big fan of saturation, so I thought it wasn't needed. I tried it a bit, but didn't like it, so I got rid of it. I ended up with some clip gain for both tracks and only some mild compression limiting, and -1 clip ceiling to reach the -9 goal Any thoughts and feedback will be appreciated

What would it be? Right now… for me it would be a toss up between a Massive Passive, Pultec… or The Swift from Thermionic Culture. I’ll let you know if I decide 🤷‍♂️
