He said there’d be a video, and here it is…
Will’s driving and talking about Audiolife. You can tell he thinks it’s a great idea. And we do too. Check out the video, and take a look at audiolife.com for selling your music “and your stuff,” before you have to pay for it.
If your band is getting ready to send your artwork and your music to Audiolife (or any mass distribution outlet), don’t forget to get your tracks mastered so they’ll sound their best.
To see why we think SoundOps is the best mastering studio for your band, see what makes our studio and our service different…
Thanks for taking time out here on The MASTERING Blog; and good luck with your music!
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!

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!
- Will
