The Guitar Player's Resource
Why you should choose Yeahman Records to MASTER your next album or demo:
Mastering engineers and recording artists Ed Littman and Joel Katz have 50 years of combined experience.
With an extensive and deep knowlege of producing, performing, composing, teaching, recording, mixing, and restoring analog and tube equipment, we have the ears, the gear, and the commitment to satisfy even the most critical clients. Of course we're critical clients too!
It's common to think that once you have mixed your stereo pre-master, the job is FINALLY DONE. WRONG! That's not quite the end. If you're recording an album or demo then the tracks have to be sequenced in the right order, with the right spaces between them, with appropriate fade-ins and outs and at the correct output levels.
One of the problems with pre-masters is that most require further work on the tonal balance. To get it phat and punchy, clear and dimensional, yet keeping a natural balance between instruments you need a variety of top quality equalizers, compressors/limiters and a monitoring system that you know to be accurate.
After you supply us with detailed instructions (as to which mixes to use, order of songs, and song spacing), we listen to your project to see how much needs to be done. At this point either Ed or Joel or both will use his talents to complete your project. (always keep safety backups of mixed pre-masters).
At the end of this process you will receive a reference CD. Take this back home, so that the music can be played in a familiar surrounding. Within 3 days from receipt of the reference CD, you should decide if any changes need to be made. Finally, we will make any adjustments you need to achieve your goal, and supply you with the final master and a safety backup ready for manufacturing .
We guarantee that all our masters will be slammin'.
We can also make CD copies for you at a reasonable cost, just in case you need a couple copies right away.
Fees are very competetive and on a per song basis so you will know the final price from the start.
