I just read all the threads (and info elsewhere) and am convinced the best way to master a track is to have a pro do it. One source actually said mastering is 95% ears/experience 5% gear.

Fair enough...

Can anyone recommend the best mastering studios, companies, engineers, etc. that can do this remotely? Since I'll be trusting my tracks to outsiders for this key step I might as well go with the best.. and I'm quite sure they are not in my neck of the woods!

Thanks!

There's a great studio in Kodak, TN run by a guy named Trevor Reddick. He does great mastering, he's great to work with, and I'm sure you could do it remotely. I trade files with him online all the time. Here's his email address:

trevhole@aol.com

I really can't recommend this guy too highly. He's great.

Sincerely,
HaHaWorld

p.s. I was not paid for this endorsement.

The previous post recommended a Tennessee engineer & I understand that Tennessee is one of the best places to do it since they have all the high end professional facilities for about half the cost of their LA and NY counterparts. I have read some great articles by several different mastering engineers & all the top ones are not exclusive to major label projects & are quite willing to operate & do a professional job to fit a reasonable budget. Having said that, look at the back of the CD that you want your project to sound like & don't be afraid to at least call the guy who did the mastering. You may be surprised at the answer and price you get. If you haven't subscribed to Tape Op magazine yet, you need to as it is free if you register online and there are a ton of ads for mastering engineers with experience and references. Seriously, check it out. www.tapeop.com

For the mastering, you can read this excellent book of Bob Katz. wink.gif
