Arrow Looking for rock/metal mastering sample

Hello,

Encouraged by the other topic by Xaque, we are looking for the right ME to handle the mastering online for 3 songs (approx 11min 20s).

EDIT: At this moment it seems that we have to go back to the drawing board with the mixes and probably not go for a mastering yet... sorry for the inconveniences. We are leaving the file here for a while if you want to practise or give us a reference for the future. We will give feedback to all who've send us a sample. Once again, sorry for this mess.

--- file removed ---

Here are the guidelines for those 1.5 minutes that the clip lasts:
- all the usual stuff: big, powerful, tight and balanced
- no drastic eq changes, ie. converting this to middy radio-stuff
- volume: well, on the louder-side... I personally think that PRMS -6dB (50ms window) is about the max for the loudest parts
- reference for my mixing was Dream Theater's Train of Thought album
- please, don't lose the grind on guitars or the bass

It would be great to name the file with your name on it, if we happen to get many answers... and what is your fee and payment options (VISA, PayPal, IBAN bank transfer) etc..

If you have any comments regarding the mix even if you don't do mastering sample, please feel free to do so.

Thanks for listening
