this is my criteria:

Specializing or catering to dance and electronic music.
Bass-oriented.
No bias on the loudness war. Comfortable with making loud masters.
Relatively quick turnaround time
REasonable per-track rates.
No need for a CD master. Just digital tracks.
Won't break the bank.

Any suggestions, please let me know.

Am I the only one who read this as "No bias on the loudness war, so looking for someone who will maintain dynamic integrity while still trying to make the track as competitively loud as possible"?

Would have thought the bias meant the ideal person doesn't swing too far too the keeping as much dynamic content intact as possible side and not too far to the distorting / limiting the shit outta the track as possible side.

I would have read it that way but 'Comfortable with making loud masters' gives the distinct impression they are looking for someone who is willing to push the shit out of their tune.

I appreciate all of your suggestions. For clarification, I don't see loudness as an absolute requirement, but I'd like my track to achieve comparative loudness to the tracks I've sent as references to the engineer. The engineer's opinion on the loudness war (or lack thereof) shouldn't factor into it. Ultimately, using his skills at achieving loudness and dynamics, the engineer needs to empower me to listen to all options and make the final call. Macc seems to be on the tip of everyone's tongue here... do you all feel he meets this criteria?

much appreciated
