$100 for 4-songs Mastered, any takers?! see my attempt hurr

[darthjujuu]

i don't want 30something of you to work on this just to have me end up only choosing/paying one, so if you wanna offer up your services just show me some of your past work (mix vs. master, etc.) and i'll pick someone from there. or, if someone who's work i'm already familiar with offers (which is most of you on here) that i think would be good, i'll just nab you right away. preferably the latter. it's 4 songs, slow n' low moshy metal. i'm also 100% open to mutual mix tinkering.

this is my attempt at getting it good to go, it's kinda loud but clearly too squashed and pumpy as all fuck, little muddy too.

oh yeah, and we're tracking vocals on sunday. final mixes could be prepared during the small gap of sobriety between then and new years eve.

i'll post the mix with nothing on the 2bus when i get home from work, for a better idea of what the raw mix sounds like without my abomination attempt at loudness.

 

[darthjujuu]

and before you say "HOW'D YOU GET THAT INSANE TONE", the answer is ryan re-amped it. haha.

 

[rchoi54]

i'll do it for $40, or $10 per song.

i'll master, if you like it, then you pay so you dont have to worry about purchasing something you dont want.

email me @ rchoi54@gmail.com

 

[Jarkko Mattheiszen]

i'll do it for $30.

...and this is exactly why job offers on this forum don't work out.

not true jarkko, i'm after results, not a bargain. i'm waiting to see if anyone i'm familiar with steps up =]

 

[rchoi54]

well it wouldnt hurt to give wee little me a go at it =p

 

[darthjujuu]

like i said, post up some before/afters of past work!!

but just so anyone else i don't know very well is clear, i'll know in a second (and so will everyone else) if you're just slapping it with an ozone preset.

so don't even think about it

but yea, i'm really just hoping someone who's work i know and love will pop up. so i'ma gonna let this one soak for a day or so.

Why someone has to ask 30$ if the client wanna pay someone 100$? It's sick!
It's a chinese mentality.... we will see soon someone offering money to the client to do some job

Dare I say... this is on par or more than some of the newest work from a lot of the pros...need to hear the vocals on it first before saying anything more! AND you didnt use an HD system! This is such a great example of how knowing what the hell you are doing has more bearing on the result than the gear! Nicely done! I will definitely keep you in mind for future reference!

Guitar playing could be tighter.....my only thought...

Would you mind if I put some vox on it for my own entertainment? Im feelin some creative influence from the melodic parts!

you should've heard it before i carefully hand-edited every single transient on the DI's

thanks for the kind words kyle, and i have no qualms with you laying down vox.. go nuts... haha! but yea, i'm sure anyone who knows a thing about mastering knows that my shot at it was ... quick and dirty, at best. haha.

welcome to the sneap forum, be prepared to have your mind blown by what some of the other guys on here can do with nothing but an mbox.

[GarethSE]

RP5 G2's.

hrmm. my master passed the car test pretty well. anyone really think the pumping is unbearably bad?

the chain if anyone's interested was:

SSL bus comp, bypassed, being A/Bed with api2500. Both just dickin around with the "master" presets, playing with release/threshold trying to minimize pumping and maximize beef. ended up with the API on this one. then L2 shaving off only 3 or 4 db, and a little gclip on the end.

EDIT: oh, and C4, i a/bed with emmure and tinkered C4 a bit to try to match the spread of the "beef" and think it really made a good difference, i essentially scooped a TIIIIINY bit of lowmids and add a TIIINY bit of highmids. I love the character a multi-band adds... it doesn't really add or boost, just smooths. good stuff. this is the first time i really tinkered alot with a multi-band. it might become a crutch.

cymbals are slightly overdone..

yea definitely... bums me out cause i like the vibe of the choruses, and when the cymbals get a chance to peak out it's like HEY holy bannanas that crash is comin at my face like a tomahawk. maybe i can automate them into submission for those parts
