Firstly let me just say I feel I may written not quite what I meant and maybe given you the wrong end of the stick.

Now I totally agree with the charging of £30 and up for a great master with great gear and a wealth of experience. You can not put a price on experience. Safe and sound should quite rightly charge these prices, hell he could probably charge what he wants and he'd still get a huge amount of custom. But as he will well know there is also a huge amount of people without great gear or a wealth of experience who are competing in his £27 price range. I can tell this angers you and quite rightly so. I find this to be robbery preying on artist who don't know who to have master their tracks. They maybe don't know what half the gear you have is or does. It becomes a difficult choice to make choosing your ME. I mean I could quite easily have put my prices at £27 and not shown any pictures of the gear I use and just said I use this and this and this and tried to compete head on with you. That would have been stupid though. So in comparison to your experience and gear I charge £10. I find this to be fair. Not everyone wants to spend £30 a master on every track they release.

I know a few guys charging £20-£30 for masters that don't have the gear safe and sound has and use ozone and t racks. I won't name and shame them but this I what I see as mastering robbery.

Sorry if I offend you safe and sound wasn't directed at you my rant was more directed at software mastering for £30 when you could technically learn and do it yourself at home.

What I try to offer is a low budget services that still uses high end gear and still gets great results compared to the original audio. Not everyone wants to pay £30 for a great master on a track their only putting up on soundcloud. I've had 100's of artist have their tracks mixed and master by me and they all return every so often with the next track so I must be doing something right.

if they have the best monitoring set-up and treated rooms that money can buy (in addition to their experience) then there should be no issue with this if they can do a good job. There are many ME's that have only needed to use a few software based tweaks for it to be mastered based upon listening to things in their own environment. there's no robbery.

Ultimately the issue is that 'mastering' as a service, is unregulated, and without accreditation. Good or bad, this will most likely stay like this.

Paul is an incredibly genuine bloke, who's doing something for cheap. Outside of this, he's also helping me with a project of mine involving hardware and software equivalents by running audio signals through certain processors, purely out of his enjoyment of the results. Top bloke.
