Is it possible to get a free master from a student?

[bossman]

I need to have a demo mastered, but it's nothing major. It's just to present to an A&R for another artist. The demo will be re-recorded by their producer. I just want my mix to be spiced up and to correct some bad frequencies. Again, no need for a super-pro job. I was wondering if there are any student engineers willing to do this track? I figure a student would be willing to get some practice in? The only thing is that I have to send this track out by Monday.

Please PM me for details.

If you already know there are bad frequencies why don't you fix them before sending it out for mastering?

It's not there are "bad" frequencies. I guess I used the wrong wording there. I just mean: can someone spice up my mix. I've spent a good week mixing it, but I'm not good at applying compression, limiting and EQ to an overall mix.

Use yousendit.com to make a downloadable stereo version and add it to your thread. Then call it a mastering competition rather than a favor. Who knows, you might end up with a few good ones to choose from. (people are competitive)

Might even have a crack at it myself if there's the potential for feedback.

That's reasonable, the comparison idea. For the sake of science at least.
If 'where to' is going to turn into 'where can I get it mastered for little or
nothing' (and it has, really) then at least let there be some science to it.

Just wanted to let you guys know that someone did the job for me. Thanks for your replies.
