On the current Craigs List for mastering...

Thomas W. Bethe · 7th January 2009

On the current local Craigs list.

Master Your CD/Demo with Us!

Is your band or solo act tired with unsatisfactory experiences in recording studios? Most of the time, a studio producer is great for recording and mixing, but they don't always have a fresh ear at the end of your project to give you the right sound. Some studios and disc printing companies also charge $500+ to master tracks, prompting most artists to by-pass the mastering process altogether due to the extreme cost, leaving the artists with a lesser product than they intended to create.
I will master your songs...cheap! $15/per song and $10/per song after the first ten. You can send .aiff, .wav, or .mp3 files or the finished disc itself through snail mail. I have 15+ years of studio experience. Contact me today!

-----------------------------------------

Still trying to get the best sound out of your home studio project? XXXXXXXXXXXXXX specializes in demo mastering. We've got 15+ years of studio experience. We are currently running a New Year special: $10 per song or $99 for a full-length disc (up to 80 minutes)from Jan. 1st through the 5th only. Our process includes compression, noise reduction, equalization, stereo widening, bass management, mastering reverb, maximization, and peak limiting. We can give your recording that 'radio ready' sound. Contact us today!

------------------------------------------

MASTER ANYTHING CHEAP.ANY TYPE OF MUSIC. SEND A FRIEND REQUEST OR EMAIL XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
from $20.00 a track.pay via paypal. send via email. its that simple !

------------------------------------------

Tired of running across ads for mastering in other states? Wonder if your last master was done by someone who didn't know how to use a compressor? Wonder what your mix will sound like through some REAL audio equipment worth some hefty dough?

XXXXXXX Studio, the private audio powerhouse of engineers C&W, is again accepting mixes. Send your tracks to XXXXXXXX and name your price. What is mastering worth to you? Want to light one up and smack some bitches? We reserve the right to reject work that brings the community down. SERIOUS ARTISTS ONLY. If your mix isn't ready for mastering, we'll let you know what needs adjusted.

Hey Thomas! This one is actually ME!

Figured I'd post as a hyped-up-psuedo studio to see if anyone responds. Surprisingly, no one at all has responded, not even after the pretty picture of knobs and switches.

Just don't let the secret out.

Perhaps the world of mastering doesn't have much to worry about. Just because people advertise with low rates (or mystery rates!) doesn't mean anyone actually takes them up on it. Not even kidding. It's been mentioned in other threads, but raising your rates can actually lead to more business.

I noticed they used the word "cheap" instead of "inexpensive". They are probably correct.
