Finding a Mastering House

Robert · 31st October 2006, 11:04 PM

I am trying to find a Mastering House for a project. The music is kind of U2/ As Tall as loins type of sound. I am mostly interested in the music being mastered for MP3 players. I would like to have a mastered version for MP3 and a 24 bit Tape or CD. Any places somebody can recommend?
Thanks Robert

Do you have a budget in mind? This would really help people sugestions.

Just out of curiosity....what would be the purpose of a 24 bit tape?

Why of course, to put it through a TASCAM - DA-45HR & then a Boss ce-2 chorus pedal...........

Chorus pedal? I thought the newest rage in mastering pedals was the RAT distortion pedal?

Oops, now that I'm a moderator, I should try to behave myself...

That's "old school" (and actually has been done during mixing BTW).

Pedals inserted into channels in mixing is actually pretty cool. A couple I have used semi-recently in a mix situation include a sans amp pedal for a bass split, and a Moogerfooger 12 stage phaser. Of course, in my daily workflow in a mastering situation... um... no thanks. But with the distortion on some LOUD albums these days, you'd think they did!

But if you added a chorus pedal during mastering ......it would sound twice as BIG

just make sure the chorus pedal has detented pots. that's how can tell the real mastering engineers.
