Cheap mastering = not mastering, in most cases. Spend a bit, it's worth it.

If it's already signed then let the label foot the bill.

We need the final stereo Wave audio file of your mixdown.
With all "loudness maximizing" etc taken off, headroom is nice too

I use
FunkVault Mastering (glen@funkvaultmastering.com)
he has done stuff for the
Prodigy, UNKLE, White Lies and heaps of Breakbeat & Dubstep stuff!)
he is also endorsed by
Prism Sound (the main A/D D/A converter company) and
Crane Song (who make high end compressors etc!)
Rates are currently £30 a track (£100 for a 4 track EP!) and you get amazing attention to detail and quality but for that little bit less money

he also offers Stem Mastering/Mixing for £100 a track (includes mix and master!)
