I have almost finished mixing a project of mine and was hoping there might be someone out there that would like to have a go at mastering it? PM me or reply here and we can talk further. Cheers, Geoff

My band has almost finished mixing our album and I wanted to see if anyone here is interested in having a crack at mastering it for us. PM me if you are interested. It's death metal, similar style to suffocation.

Been working on it for a while and we're pretty happy with it, but would love to get some feedback from you guys. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10863758/5.mp3 Cheers!

thanks guys, a lot of usefull info in here. so I'm attacking the mix a bit differently now. It's peaking at around -6, but the average RMS is somewhere around the -15 to -18 range. Is that normal or should I be trying to get the average higher by means of compression or something?

Yeah thanks guys. Glad to hear what I'm going through is normal. I'm always concious of getting my mixes loud, but I guess I should focus more on perfecting the mix and let the mastering guy worry about the overall volume.

thanks guys. Yeah I am running some compression on the main output, but I will switch it of and take your advice. I'll work on getting peaks around -6db as you suggested. The master bus compression is there really to help with doing comparisons to other tracks. It's just a bit annoying when...

Just wondering if anyone has a general rule of thumb for how loud you run your master output for a mix that is going to be mastered? I'm wondering if it's better to back the mix off a bit to allow the mastering guy a little more room to move in terms of dynamics? My mix is currently running...

We're looking from someone to reamp a full album of death metal. Double tracked guitars. Got a few roughly mixed clips up in my dropbox recorded with podfarm. Tone wise we'd be stoked if we could get something along the lines of the faceless - akeldama. If anyone is interested, or knows of...

That was one of the worst and funniest film clips I've ever seen! I can't figure out if it's serious or not?

Yeah I just discovered that tonite ;) Pleas excuse my ignorance. Aparently skitz has hatecore tattoed on his back.

Hahaha, hatecore? in '91 they were just a metal band, now they're hatecore? Sorry, I just find these sub-genres so funny and pointless. Anyway, I love Damaged, and I don't think I've heard that album, I'm guessing it was before "Do Not Spit"? I used to work for a company that tranfered...

I'd say go for it. And if you we're a close mate of mine I'd proceed to pay the fuck out of you when you fall 3 steps behind everyone else.

What was retarded about it? It's a pretty truthful analogy. I normally wouldn't buy into this type of discussion, but I think I have some perspective to contribute given the amount of time I smoked for, and the amount of time since I've given up. I've been playing in bands for 15 years or...

That's because the cannibis is engaging the cannibanoid receptors in your brain, which in turn reduce the flow of electrons through your brain, which probably gives you the feeling that everything is functioning normally, and maybe even makes you feel awesome, but, those feelings probably come...

This album kicks ass, I don't care if they can pull it off live or not, since they're never gonna make it to Australia anyway!
