I'm looking for a reputable company to master my tunes. I feel I have taken them as far as they can go with what I have. I'm looking for someone who does really good work and is not ridiculously expensive.
any thoughts?

No offence taken. lol. I'm looking for an engineer who is going to take the stem files of my tune and master the whole thing. For money like.

1. Mastering engineers do take stems and master that way, some prefer this method.
2. If you want it clear you kinda need to do that your end, look at eq'ing.
3. Remember to take that ozone off your master bus before sending it off to the ME
4. What the ME will provide you with is having a fresh pair of ears listen to your track and being able to make a non biased opinion as to what needs tweaking in the overall sound. Sometimes this can be very little, sometimes this can be a whole lot.
5. It's always better to have a good mixdown sent off and tweaked very little to get it great than to have a poor mixdown being sent off to be 'rescued' by the ME.
Think I got that right, let me know if I missed the point completely people

Macc sucks, send it to me and i will whack it through l3 until it looks like a big blocks and sounds like my ears want to implode. All this for ten pounds.
