So in summary;

Square untreated room
Budget Speakers
using cracked software

Do yourself a favour use macc or one of the other legit mastering engineers, tons of proper outboard, treated rooms and much more professional.

fair enough if thats your views....everyone is entitled to an opinion , but I can't be on too much of a fail if 99% of customers I deal with are really happy with results and return to use my mastering services in future.

What I offer is - QUALITY MASTERING AT AN AFFORDABLE PRICE , I'm not saying I'm the best in the business , I just know whats its like to be a producer and want something mastering , but simply can't afford to spend a months wages on 1 track !

So to anyone out there thats curious , why not get a FREE 1 min mastered clip and let the music do the talking !...at the end of the day , its about end results !..... i.e. Chase n Status have a pretty basic bedroom music production set-up , but they know their software! , which gets them results .......... :z:

have you considered what sound system / monitor set up you are playing the samples on the website on???

And like I keep saying , best way to get a true example of how my mastering will sound on 'your' track is get a FREE mastering sample

KRK VXT8s and Beyer DT 990s...

So to add the audible results to paradigm x's assessment:

Square untreated room
Budget speakers
Cracked software
Distorted sub
Squashed drums

I'd have less of a problem with this if it weren't for a) the making money out of cracked software, and b) the making money by naive producers believing that any "mastering" is better than no mastering.

But whatever. You get what you pay for!

I'm not making people spend their money , the customer decides if they pay for full mastering job or not.......ultimately the customer calls the shots , if you have a problem with the way I run my business , thats your problem........


I'm giving producers the results they want on their music , so can we leave it at that

more positivity please???

I have no problem with it, and I'm gonna send you a one minute cut to see what you can do with it. Your samples sound loads better than my crappy "mastering" anyway.

Ooh, classy.

I'm not snobby about needing tons of expensive outboard to make tunes sound better, but if you're not committed enough to actually pay for the basic tools you're using (not to mention lacking the basic respect for the months of long and grindingly dull work that people have put into making those tools to actually make this stuff possible) then I'm not interested, I'm afraid...

As is mentioned, get a preview master done.

There are a few of us about.

I cannot quite believe Tekmastering publicly admits using cracks !

All software (and hardware!) is legit here, it's a perception and honesty thing for me
and of course software you pay for is better quality as I doubt you cannot get hold of the DSP(cracked) tools
that are actually worth having. It also demonstrates that you are actually capable of
paying for your tools, imagine a carpenter working on your house using a stolen saw and hammer, it's the same.

You make your choices in life I guess, quality and attitude speaks for itself ultimately.

cheers

honesty , thats why I admit some things I use are'nt legit......but I can let you know I have payed well earned cash for alot of VST's and spents £100's if not £1000's over the years , which is why I don't feel all that bad about having a few cracked VST's


I even get some software sent to me by developers , FSR , Thats not payed for .... do you feel bad now ?
