Shape is not level
Every bounce is level-referred before its tonal shape is compared. Louder does not read closer.

Best read: a full stereo bounce, at least 30 seconds.
Leave your master-bus processing exactly as you judge it.
A compass, not a mastering verdict
Each style guide is a rough, hand-drawn tonal sketch, not measured from reference records, so there is no score to chase. It points to where to listen first. Your ears, references, arrangement, and intent decide whether the move belongs.
Every bounce is level-referred before its tonal shape is compared. Louder does not read closer.
Fix the first cause, level-match the before and after, and stop if the record already translates.
Repeat use is the point: the next bounce should prove the move instead of merely feeling newer.
