Well, not exactly deceptive – it's just humor I'm actually a PK myself.

Ha ha, “wayward lifestyle” that context is ironic and deceptive.

I think marketing is extremely important i think alot of bands just think some one will discover them, but you really need to come up with a solid marketing plan and get as much help as possible.

There are alot of ways you can promote your band for free online.

Comment on Recording, Mixing, Mastering, and Digital Distribution for Indie Artists: Why Audio Quality Is King by willduke

The sound quality of this phone call is so bad - I would never have posted it, if I didn't think the info would be helpful for some of you.

We're working on something from a guy in ATL right now that sounds really good. If I can get permission, I'll post a clip of one of his masters soon.

Take care.

Thanks for the plug for your services – I decided to approve it only once, as I'm not sure it helps our cause much for it to be on all the posts

Since we do not handle much vinyl, it's good for our visitors and clients to know what their options are for that in particular.

Your site looks nice by the way, and I especially like the advice in the bottom right of your home page. One of the biggest issues we see with audio on its way in for mastering for the first time is the condition of the mix…

Your recommendation to use less EQ, compression, etc. is a good one! I tell bands all the time, to remember that the most important part of mixing is obviously the mix, and not the volume… that's why they call it mixing and not “voluming”…

Thanks again for joining the discussion, and for rating this post – even though the Internet is a big place, in our industry it can feel like a small world – so I'm sure we'll see each other around…

Good luck to you!

A mastering studio called The Cutting Suite is based in the UK. They master tracks for 10 pounds each, which is about $20. All you have to do is send your track to them via the internet, their engineer will master the track, and then send it back to you the same way; as this is all done online, they can master tracks for anyone in the world!

Even though their cost is cheap, they offer the exact same services as mastering studios who charge over $160 per track; they just believe in not ripping off their customers and merely providing them with an excellent service and amazing results.

The Cutting Suite has mastered tracks for artists like Jamiroquai, Justin Timberlake, Black Eyed Peas, Destiny's Child, etc, therefore they must offer a pretty good service!

For those of you who are still interested in doing your own audio mastering, give me a call here @ the studio. If I won't get the chance to master your tracks for you, I can at least tell you which gear/software you'll need so you don't waste the money you wanted to save
