Agreed, but at least you can expect from a 'real' mastering house that they have a professional (and in most cases pretty expensive) listening setup and some mastering equipment that cost about the same as a new mid-size carNumanoid wrote:It would be the same mistake to think that just giving a track to a pro master guy and then Bob's yer uncle. Depending on which music you make a certain touch is needed, which maybe not every pro master guy can deliver.
That's why I don't think 150-200 for mastering one track is overly expensive at all
BTW, ever listened to your tracks on e.g. high-end Genelecs (those will set you back at least 10 grand) in a seriously treated room? Believe me you will hate your own monitors with a vengeance from then on
