Tks RedLeo - I've confirmed that cranking the Nord volume/gain gets the best results when mastering the track. And thank you for taking a listen to the tracks. Yeah, we have Yamaha HS80M speakers, which are quite good quality for mixing. We paid top dollar for mastering and the engineers we spoke to all previewed our mix and confirmed it was all good. We suspect it's unrelated to the gain levels too, and these helpful conversations help with our process of elimination. Tks again.
Has anyone recorded pianos with their Nord Stage EX and had their tracks mastered? If so, would you be willing to upload MP3's (short previews) for me to test on my ipad and iphone speakers?
