Umm, why not go for a local guy? The production on Polish metal albums is very kickass all-round: Vader (on Litany & Impressions In Blood), Decapitated (on The Negation), etc 
Any chance to hire Andy Sneap?

Have you ever compared those productions to Andy's work?
The record will be recorded here in Poland ('coz recording studios are cheap as fuck!
...But we don't want to sound like 666 thousands of polish bands... we want to have fresh mix/mastering done by a person who doeasn't know polish reality....
if you know what I mean...
BTW: maybe it's time to close that thread?

But don't forget the "name dropping factor" !!!
I can understand him...
But man... Andy told you that he won't do it... That should be enough information. Live with the facts.
-Let someone else mix / master it.
-Play Gigs
-Get a Deal
-Play more Gigs
-Get a better Deal
and so on...
Maybe one day it will come true for you...
Amen.
Rock on Dude!

I had Roadrunner on the phone once and they said that they preffered demos instead of "ready to release" CDs. I don't think a good sounding CD will have any better chance than a demo with damn good songs. In that case they will pay you for recording them. I think if a song is good it don't need that "perfect" sound to convince anyone.
And hey.. and good perfomance with crappy sound is much better than crappy performance with perfect sound!
Cheers..

Thats just how it is...
If you've already copyrighted the songs on "ready to release" cd's, then they wont get as much $$$ in royalties if you re-record them under their budget.
I THINK that's the idea, although I could, of course, be wrong.

BOOSH.
^i think it also has to do with the fact that they don't get to tell you to change anything on it, because it's already complete. Also like you were saying, they don't get to recoup their advances (becuase they don't necessarily have to give one for recording) and they make less money.

neither's China for that matter....someone get Oz a map! (j/k)
I get the joke, belive me. However, Poland is a lot closer to France than Canada is.... (that was kinda my point)

That's pretty much the gist of it. A label makes far more money from a band that they give an advance to (well, ones that sell, anyway) than from a band that already has a disc & is just looking for a P&D (press & distro) deal.
However, these days, I'm telling my clients not to even try to get a "classic deal" because it'll be like being a little boy locked in a room with 20 Catholic priests. "You're gonna get fucked."
Self produce & look for a P&D deal, because that's the only way you're really going to see any money from album sales.

Yep
If you want a similar sound, just compare Vader's Impressions In Blood to Arch Enemy's Doomsday Machine, and the overall tone is pretty similar between each other, except Vader's has a little bit more balls.

Forget Andy Sneap.
Since I am not in demand, you should hire me, because I will treat you with respect, as one human being should treat one another. I will mix all your tracks equally so that in the end... it will all sound equal and almost be 'in the red'. I gaurantee you will want to kill yourself. Which is not so bad because then your soul will be set free and both God and Satan are excellent producers with studios and equipment one can only dream off. (God and Satan can re-amp drummers. THAT'S RIGHT. ACTUAL DRUMMERS!)
The only con is that I'm only free on weekends and that I live in Perth, Western Australia. And that I'm totally sexy. But is that really such a con? No, it is not.

Can they reamp singers ? Could I, for example, sing and have the voice of Russell Allen ?
