XARC Mastering Announce New Innovations And A Rush Of New Projects

This guy is the shit, when it comes to writing press releases en masse.
unfortunately, he has not a clue about serious audio mastering.

Actually i were extremly statisfied with what i got after giving them a try. I had my music sent to various other mastering studios for a "free trial"-like offer, but noone did holdup with them. So i had my complete album mastered with them.

I highly recommend giving them a try, beside alot of "hype" they seem to do, they do really hold up with what is promised.

you are right, i offended him without having
checked his work.

i just find it strange when people announce it like the
revolution when they use the internet to transfer files
between 2 parties.
most mastering studios are able to recieve files, since
we have ADSL for private households in the states and in
europe that is normal for everything.

the only difference between them and others is that
they dont accept CDs or tapes too.


i could not find a very satisfying gearlist there.
(but that is maybe simply because i am a snob.
i dont think that a handful of cracked waves plug-ins
on a wintel PC make a mastering studio. if you dont
have natural pitch, if you dont have the AD/DAs available, if you dont have have a USD 15.000 tube equalizer, dont
call it "mastering".)


lets add one positive comment :
they are offering you to prelisten to the result before
you have to pay.
that looks very fair, and many musicians will like the idea.
