Can someone please master a trance tune for me for free?

[DJ_Ilios]

Hi all, newb here...

I am an amateur trance producer from Canada.

After creating my latest tune, I was watching youtube vids on how to master, at least, trying to get an idea, but I have no knowledge or experience in mastering. I did my best, but was still not completely satisfied with how it turned out.

I then turned to Google searches and thought about paying a small fee to have someone master it, however I am skeptical, as I am unsure what to expect. I don't simply want loudness or tweaked levels, and of course don't want to get scammed.

Anyway sorry to ramble on here, if anyone even considers doing me this favor, that would be a pleasant surprise and would be much appreciated. I am sorry I am not offering money, just the practice I guess. I am trying to get an idea of how much it makes a difference, and how it differs from my 'poorly' mastered version.

It seems I cannot post a link to the tune here, so please PM me if interested.

I have it as a wav file of high quality as I believe that is best to work with?
If the file is too large, please let me know, I can reduce the quality.
I have taken off the master compressor, however I left on several effects as I think the song would sound improper if I took them off, although I am not sure on whether or not this will make it more difficult. My apologies as well if the actual mix of the tune is crap. I don't know a lot about mixing either, so I just go by how I think it should sound, using headphones.

Thanks in advance to all those who care!

That's really interesting. Just curious... is there a place we can see what gear the best mastering studio in Iran has?

Pay to have it done professionally. Communicate with the engineer, including about any remaining issues that may need addressing with the mix. Have confidence. That's the service of pro mastering. Not merely processing. Good luck.

I want to thank all that took time to read the post, and for the advice that was posted, as well as PM'd to me. Special thanks to those who PM'd me and offered help in the mastering.

It really was quite special to have someone help me for no reason other than to simply help me get an idea of what mastering can do for a track. I can't really explain how uplifting it was in the sense that there are people out there who will take time out of their day for someone like myself who they have never met. Especially considering it was my first post and I wasn't offering anything, on the contrary, I was asking for a favor as a newbie. Not just advice, but actual work, sorry for being redundant but it really was a wonderful feeling. I will definitely be sticking around this forum for a while. I have already delved into many others posts and have read and laughed and frowned some but I can say this is a community I am very glad to have joined!

As far as the music, having a tune mastered has helped me immensely in realizing that there is much I will still need to learn and practice in order to reach my goal, which is to have one of my tracks played on 'A State of Trance'. It has helped me to understand that I now have the tools, and sounds (instruments, effects etc) necessary to achieve a professional sound which is required to have a track signed. However, in this, I have realized that I will need to work much on the song creation portion (song writing, chords, melodies etc), mixing, and finally I will need to learn mastering, or have a professional do the job, as it really is worth it.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH MY FELLOW 'SLUTZ~! LOL!
