Looking for Mastering...Metal...

bubbakowalski · 12th July 2011

Hey guys. I am finishing up my album, and I am STARTING (going to be a few months down the road) to look for a mastering engineer. Since I myself do mastering, and I have some great masters already, I am specifically looking for OTB mastering. I surf the forums ALL the time and see what feels like millions of posts from ME's that constantly state how much better OTB gear is than ITB gear, so i would really like to hear for myself and see if I hear a big difference. I require a test master of a song, and i am flexible on budget, especially if it sounds a lot better than the masters i currently have (which i REALLY like.. but cant honestly say I am blown away by). I want to be BLOWN AWAY, and I feel the final mixes should allow for me to have that feeling because they, at least to me, sound pretty fantastic so far.

the style of music is thrash metal, and I would be STOKED if the masters had the same sheen as say testament, slayer, or the new anthrax or high on fire.

shoot me a message with some examples of your metal specific work and i can send the test song in it's 24 bit 48khz final mix format. i will do my best to respond to everyone that is willing to do it in a timely manner. Again, only OTB masters need apply, since i already have great ITB Masters

thanks for your time
