ill agree mastering is an art and takes along time to, er master, and taking the point that people start their own lable because they get know response back from sent out demos this is allso true.

i had two tracks masterd by a very well known techno producer which made them sound far more supperior then my efforts but i still had no takers.

so i guess im saying unless lables are prepared to take a risk and release some stuff from unknown producer your still going to get poorly produced records.
