Heyas,
I'm nearing completion of a four-track demo CD that I'll be handing out tons of in the new year. This is the first time I've produced my songs in the "professional" sense; 18 tracks of audio, 24bit/96khz, all tracked out off the live rig and into Ableton Live using a MOTU 828mkII. It's coming together quite nicely, finally!
I'm not interested in mastering my own stuff tho - I've tried, and I'm terrible at it. I know I could get better if I spent a year or two on it, but frankly, I'd rather spend that time writing music. From what I overheard, for mastering techno for vinyl, Lawrie Immersion is the man... but I'm not looking to master for vinyl! If the tracks get picked up by a label, I'm sure they'll want the unmastered versions anyway - but since right now I'm gunning more for live bookings than labels, I'd like my CD to sound as good as possible.
Who do you guys use? I'm not looking for a freebie! Ideally I'd like to hear a bunch of options, along with their rates per track and examples of their work...
BTW - my music is pounding rave techno, with lots of acid influences; very analogue stuff. Examples on my website. :)
