good mastering makes your record better...that's a good enough reason. |
I won't argue that. There are millions of "gates", a label, myspace, a person's pockets, etc. Mastering should help to impress everyone of them. I think Bob O's point was (and I believe that you agree) that some gates are more exclusive than others. Showing up in a suit and a tie is more likely to get you in to some of those.
