ME in Maryland (Baltimore/ DV/ VA?)

[kingrhythm]

Does anybody know of any mastering studios in the Maryland (Baltimore) area?
I'm not talking about a recording studio that masters I want the real deal, strictly mastering.

I really want to start attending my mastering sessions so I can learn more. I can also do DC/ VA if need be...


If this should go in the "where to" sub forum please feel free to move it.

Thanks

Thanks for the response!

This brings me to a question, I've checked all of their credits and to be honest very little of what they've done is similar to the genre of music I'm producing, mainly non-mainstream electronic/ hip-hop. Please do not get me wrong, I totally respect age and know that it dictates experience and is one of, if not the most deciding factors in quality, but their listed expertise doesn't seem to reside anywhere near what I'm doing. Shouldn't this be a factor in choosing a ME? Or is mastering simply "beyond genre"?

I would love to hear opinions on this!

Anybody with any other places?

Thanks!

+1 for Airshow. Charlie Pilzer is great

I would suggest talking to them letting them know your concerns, and then ask for a consultation to meet the engineers and get a song mastered.

You'll learn whether you want to work with them or not.

Also, this advice goes for ANY mastering engineer you're considering, not just the folks at Airshow.
