Looking to Master an Acoustic Indie Album ($500/flexible.)

[benbenben6]

Hi,

I've been a recording artist for about 8 years now, but I'm new to the idea of outsourcing mastering. I'm nearing completion of my second album, and I wanted to see if a ME would really add a valuable contribution to my work. I've uploaded one of the mixes from it here [http://www.bensimaginaryband.com/stems/bed74test.wav] (32 bit wav) and I am looking to hear how at least part of it would sound mastered.

Just a quick note: I'm not looking to increase the loudness, if limiting or compression is needed at all, please it to a bare minimum. The album is going to be very quiet but it should have good dynamics.

If I like what you did to the song, then I'll pay you to master the entire album. I think I'll finish mixing the album in 2-3 months, so if you name a price that's reasonable for both sides, I will save up for it by then; that way when you master the album I can pay you promptly.

I would say I'm in the 500$ range, but I am flexible. If at some point throughout the project its taking longer than expected, then I am willing to pay more, especially if I feel you're putting in the extra time/effort.

It will probably be 13 songs, around 50 minutes of audio. Also, the song above isn't a good indication of how the entire album will sound; the songs vary quite widely; visit the myspace link below to get a better idea.

Please PM me if you are looking for more details. I do have some ideas about what I'd be looking for in a ME, and the mastering process in general (reference material, etc.).

Thanks alot,

-Ben
