Mastering

[Jay Pace]

DIY - or send it to the pro's?

And if so, which pro's, and how much do you spend?

Or do you leave it up to the label to take care of it?

Am contemplating giving up trying to master stuff, as I am never going to get anything more than half decent results compared to some dude with £50k of kit, who spends a lifetime dedicated to getting shit to sound unreal.

chris mccormack does a a service...

www.blacklistedmastering.co.uk

he seems to be one of the cheapest and best around. cristian vogel also does it, but he charges by the day, not the track, which could end up pricey.

i couldnt tell you which is better, to master or not, i spose it depends on the label boss and their personal preference.

Perfect - thanks mate.

Mr McCormack will be getting some business from me.

There's also Lawrie Immersion of course

Suppose it would depend on the style of techno

can recommend Laurie and Chris very highly, had stuff mastered by both of them and its top notch

also if your US based (or not im sure it's still valid), then Tim Xavier runs a great cutting and mastering studios in Brooklyn, USA, called Chopstick studios. Im not sure if they have a web addy but i presume so

from what i know of the subject, if you're getting tracks released the label should be paying for this anyway

Hi Jay,
OK excellent, just give me a ring whenever you're ready.

And thanks to the guys who have recommended me, much appreciated :)

Cheers, Chris.
