Need Mastering for 2 seperate projects - Details inside

Lackatee · 6th August 2009

Hello,
I have two sperate projects from two different artists that need to get mastered as soon as possible.

The first one is just a single. That single will eventually go on the full album of that artist. That album is still being tracked, but i would like to use the same ME for the rest of that album when its fully tracked out and mixed down. So please keep that in mind. I will be returning to you for the rest of the album once completed.

The second project is two songs which are also going to eventually be apart of a full length album. That album is also still being tracked. As with the other album i would also like to use the same ME for that whole album as well, if all possible.

But keep in mind that these projects as seprate entities. If you would like to PM me about just working on one of them, thats fine. They both have different budgets, genres of music, and people involved.

Ok, so the details of the projects..

Project 1
Budget: $250 to master the single song + a 15 sec radio sweeper/fake Station ID that goes with the song.
Genre: Very modern and produced electronic/hip-hop'ish track. Kinda futuristic. Very catchy song.
Final Medium: Going on a promo CD and Itunes. Just the one song. Will also be on the final album when completed.
File Format: 48k 24bit Stereo wav
Other notes: Mix is ready to be mastered.

Project 2
Budget: $200 to master 2 Songs
Genre: Pop/Modern Reggae - Big Band w/ lots of tracks on this - Real Horn section, lots of vocals - Kinda UB40'ish - Big Sound
Final Medium: Going on a promo CD and Itunes. Will also be going on the final CD when completed.
File Format: 48k 24bit Stereo wav
Other notes: These mixes still need some finalizing, so i should have them ready in about week. But i wanted to get some peoplelined up before hand and get on the ball earlier then later.

About you:
I am looking for an ME that uses mostly outboard gear for his/her processing and has a solid room. I dont care where you are in the world. If your master sounds good, thats all i care about. I would also like to hear just small sample (whatever you feel comfortable with length wise) of the track in question mastered by you, so i can make a choice between the submissions. I hope that covers everything. If you are interested or have any more questions, please PM me and we can further discuss the details.

Thanks a bunch.

PM'd you.

Thanks to all that responded so far! I think i have more then enough choices at this point. But your welcome to PM me if you want.

I just wanted to let everyone who responded to know that I will be out of town for the next 2 days to do a little camping and I should be back on Sunday. So if your working on a sample and havent heard from me, that will be the reason. I should be able to get back to everyone on Sunday night.

Again, thanks to all who responded. You've all been a pleasure to speak with.

Alrighty, I have received everyones samples masters at this time and I need another day to work this out. This is an extremely hard decision, and at this point I wished I didn't have soo many choices because everyone has done an awesome job and its really hard to pick one guy. The artist for project 1 and I have been at a loss on who to pick. Its almost come down to who has the full package. In anycase, You have all been more then accommodating and professional and you all have my respect. This site really does have good people who really care about audio and are truly passionate about music and "the sound"

To the few ME's that PM'd me that i haven't responded too - I thank you also for offering your services and do apologize that i haven't pm'd back. I received quite a few and i just had to cut it off so i can get down to making a decision.

To all the ME's that sent me a sample, i will respond back to each and everyone of you and let you know who i have chosen for the jobs. If you would like to know why yours was not chosen, i can let you know that as well. I think that's the respectful thing to do.

Again, thank you guys! I should have a decision by tomorrow, now that i have listened to all the material on my studio monitors, headphones, car, laptop, and phone.
