Well Justin from Underground Comunique is nice enough to put out a 7 inch with my band and another. We have our two songs for the split already mixed, but we need someone to master them. It's only 2 songs, we're a 3 piece, drums, bass guitar, vocals, and the total time is something like 7-8 minutes.

It's not like the nazi's are coming, but we need to do it asap. I'm located in Chicago. Can anyone master it on short notice?

Don't know about short notice, but did you try Bob's place?

Yes, ask Bob, definately.

I 3rd all of this. Bob is a good dude and he'll make your record sound awesome.

Carl Saffdoes a good job as well. He can't cut the lacquers, last I knew, but he can master it for you.

Bob Weston - Chicago Mastering Sevice
Carl Saff - Saff Mastering
Dan Stout - Colossal Mastering
Mike Hagler - Kingsize

I have done projects with each of them and they have all done excellent work. Carl and Mike are probably the more affordable options.

he's not in chicago but j.j. golden at golden mastering usually has a fast turnaround time. he is very good and can cut your lacquers.

as mentioned above, bob and jason at cms will do a great job as well.

I went with Carl Saff, and I couldn't have been happier with the final product. thanks again.

hey cursed... did saff crush it at all? does he master to "current loudness standards?" was it mastering for vinyl, and does he even do that? any chance of posting before/after mp3's and/or wavform pix?

thanks!

if you ask for it crushed, he'll crush it. if not, he won't. he does do premasters for vinyl. i know you weren't asking me, but as carl just did a record for me (turned out great) i thought i'd answer.
