Exclamation MIXING & MASTERING IN L.A. help needed.

Hi everybody,

I need your advice. I'm looking for a studios to mix and master a project in Los Angeles (or area) between 1 and 10th of May.

A few words about the project.

I'm producing a large charity TV project featuring all top local stars in Poland. Yes, it's 2006 and some of them can really sing.

This is just one 4'30" song. Musically, Peter Gabriel-ish sort of stuff, perhaps towards his beautiful "The Blood Of Eden" more than his great "Sledgehammer".

There will be approx. 70 tracks. About 16 tracks of vocals plus live drums, modern drum loops, fretless bass, acoustic and electric guitars, piano, keyboard, soprano sax and duduk (beautiful Armenian wind instrument). So, a lot.

To do this job I'll need a great studio to mix it and another great one to master it. And in L. A. without your guidance I'm lost.

[B]
What I need from a studio that will mix it is:[/B]


1). Nice, friendly, cooperative, not puffed up, neither lazy/boring nor annoyingly exaggerated mixing engineer with very musical and technical knowledge as well as creative and professional approach

2). Great outboard gear including array of vintage compressors (Manley VariMu of course is a must have), good reverberation and true monitoring system and room acoustics.

3). Large, automated mixing desk with great compressors, preferably SSL.

4). DAW operating with .wav format, due to I'll bring all tracks in this format on CD or hard disk.


What I need from a studio that will master it is:

Paragraphs 1 and 2 above mentioned, plus there should be someone like Bob Ludwig or Bernie Grundman, with personality and experience.

Another important one:

What are the prices there these days? Say, for two 6-hours mixing sessions in a big shot studio and one mastering session to master the song in a few versions (full, instrumental, radio version and a TV spot 30'). I need to know what budget should I have and what form of payment they accept. Can I pay with a VISA card, cheques or is it only cash?



Thank you again in advance. Is it nice to be a guiding light? I hope it's not more an effort.

Especially when you gotta read such a phat story.

I'm all eyes now looking for your kind answer!

Cheers!!!

Bob

Easy enough. Mix at Studio Atlantis and then walk next door to master with Dave Collins.
