How SoundOps Has Changed Audio Mastering For Bands Online
Today, most bands live or die on the Internet. Those on the fast track have to be connected and available to their fans 24/7 and bring a clean, polished sound to the table.
You probably already know that mastering is the secret to a recording that sounds crisp and professional. But what some people don't realize is that out of the hundreds of "online" audio mastering studios, most of them only advertise on the Internet.
So, it's easy to find a mastering studio on the Web. And it;s pretty easy to find one that will take your money over the Internet. It's almost easy to find a mastering house that gives you the option to securely upload your files without mailing your CD. But it isn't easy to find one that will stay available online after you meet and they take your CD and your money. In fact, if you want a mastering service that's 100% online, there's only one studio that offers it...SoundOps.
If your band is available 24/7, shouldn't your studio be?
"When we developed the Studio Gateway, we wanted guys to be able to have online access to everything our studio does...and to be involved with their mastering projects from start to finish." - John, co-founder of SoundOps.
But it doesn't stop there...
We don't just want to help improve the quality of your projects. We want you to HAVE AN ADVANTAGE in the music business. Every client that has tracks mastered by the team at SoundOps will have access to our entire music network too! That means our connections are yours. You'll get the best deal on CD duplication and replication, on merch, and promotion, because we want you to "make it" out there! And bands like yours need more than luck. You need help from dudes in the industry who aren't just trying to take your money.
Its our way of making sure there's something good on the radio. So, take care, and enjoy the part you play!

Mastering Secret # 32
practice with a metronome often. because mastering can't fix rhythm errors in a recording, it's best to be comfortable playing to a click track before the pressure's on in the studio and mistakes cost money.
