Mastering?
Anyone on here do mastering? And would be able to master a track for me.
probably lots of people 
what are the means of the track etc? (no one will probably want to work for free if you have an upcomming release that's gonna generate money for you for example).
why dont u just send the track to labels around and if someones interested in the track u can ask them if they can do it for you.
Learn how to do it yourself! It's more fun that way!

The most important things to understand about mastering are: a) Mastering is about the "subtle" changes. Mostly, it's about raising the overall volume, although it can also be used to "soften" or "sharpen" a track sometimes. If you think your track needs a *major* adjustment in order to sound good, then the problem is probably in your mixdown, not your master. b) Poor mastering can easily wreck a great track, but the most brilliant mastering in the world cannot save a poor mix. Very often, producers with dull-sounding tracks will assume that the problem is simply their lack of experience with mastering, but a well-mixed track doesn't need to be mastered at all in order to sound great. c) Mastering involves compromises. Most of the time, the purpose of mastering a track is to make sure that it sounds "good" on all mediums and all sound systems, rather than "great" on a few systems and terrible on others. Thus, during your mastering phase, you need to try and listen to your track on as many systems as possible! d) Mastering requires emotional detachment. I can't stress this one enough, folks - TAKE A BREAK from your track before attempting to master it. If you are still very "intimate" with your track, then you are not going to be able to make objective decisions. There is some good information about mastering in the Tutorial List, and an ongoing discussion in the Exploration of Mastering thread. |

I feel compelled to mention: Don't misconstrue final mixing with mastering. Making a track louder != mastering.
A good thread on mastering within a mix workshop which a KVR forum member hosted.
Cheers for the replys. See to me the track seems pretty clean, and loud enough. But i have no idea what it will sound like on a big soundsystem you know?
