the one i produced is kind of "Hi-End-demanding" and doesn't translate into MP3 acceptably.

Haha, nevermind that. For some reason I forgot to try to convert my WAV with Audacity, only tried Ozone many times with tweaked settings, and a private cloud upload to hear what it would sound like streamed in MP3 format. Both were horrible, but Audacity does the job well, as does the Producertech engine
Sure sounds better with 32bit WAV, but the MP3s are just fine.
Also I was just way too fatigued after 10 days of working most days and most of the time, over six hours just yesterday... Good thing I stopped when I did, even though I had much lusher, differently sounding, versions in the process, but they were flawed in some ways
It was one of the craziest experiences for me, I did a lot of what should've been done in the DAW or actually adjusted in the mix in Ozone 9 Standalone, 12 or 13 effects in Ozone chain, some of them 3rd-party, including a reverb. Everything adjusted manually, just left parts of initial Master Assistant's created EQ curve. And my chain was over-amplifying parts in it. so that when I adjusted parameter values like 73,xxxxx ms or 10,xxxxxx dB by changing numbers with keyboard, last digit adjusted by 1 created or ruined the vibe. And that with pretty much every parameter. Most complicated job I ever fulfilled and first one of that scrupulous kind. It was my 50th mastering project version (most of them exported) and my 4th Cubase export used for mastering this remix. All the projects and exports take up over 25 GB as just one copy (i keep 3 local and 3 cloud copies of project-related stuff). Ozone saving the originals in each project copy was actually the most space-consuming aspect, should've saved them as new .OZN projects and not as copies.
