As erratech said, it's like everyone has an inferiority complex!

You can buy 3 computer music magazines for that and revel in the 5 pages of fullpage screenshots with some arrows drawn on that pass for a "masterclass", or get indepth analysis of 3 tracks and actually learn something...or you could get someone with cracked software and an untreated room to "master" your tracks so you "know what they could sound like" (Yes, ive seen people on here say that). I spose you could get 15 minutes in a studio with an engineer, but if your track is 4:30, well you do the maths

These comments remind me of the dichotomy i experience when i tell people i write electronic music for some weird reason, its either "thats really easy computers do all the work"/or/ "that must be so complicated and difficult", my reply to them is the same "its easy to do anything badly".

Tbh Im probably gonna take him up on his offer soon (once ive got some partying out of the way ), I know enough that i can fix the problems i hear, fairly efficiently id say -and my tracks holdup fairly well in A/B...but what about the things i dont even know to listen for? Ive spent a long time tuning my ears, and have a lot more tuning to go, and if someone can speed that process up even by a few percent then id be pretty foolish not to take that opportunity.

I didnt mean to rant, and i apologise, but why rip shreds of the poor guy? just go back to watching youtube tutorials or harrassing people over IM to listen to your "its not quite finished, I need to change x/y/z, but need your validation" tracks or whatever it is you do. I know thats only a small proportion of you really, so again - sorry, but for some reason this thread really pissed me off. Hes just an engineer looking to make some pocketmoney in his downtime, or thats what it looks like anyway.

#Note# I dont know this guy at all, but this tall poppy syndrome shit is pretty ridiculous. feel free to offer indepth analysis of my tracks for free guys - the one id love help with is 'commit' on my soundcloud, it translates nicely on every system i try it on, but i know its not quite 100%.

i oftan come across certain sounds that i find cropping up in various tunes i often think id like to use myself, except ive never found a decent guide online or otherwise that ever goes into detail about their construction. your services could be really well used in this kind of way, price dependent.
