FREE MASTERING IN THE Portland AREA!!!! Hello all, I'm offering free Mastering with professional gear and over 10 years of pro audio experience to artists in the Portland area and there is obviously a limited amount as to the number of free projects I can take. Your albums will be mastered with top-notch tube and solid state OUTBOARD analog mastering equipment and high-end outboard converters by the likes of Crane Song, Weiss, API, etc - not some cheap plug-ins. I only have 4 stipulations and the cost is free to you: .
1. You MUST be the owner of the material you send me, as I don't want to infringe on anyone's IP rights.
2. If this is a commercial release, you MUST credit me in the CD liner notes.
3. You should have your album tracks already mixed – or at least, close to being mixed down, as I don’t do mixing, producing, or recording, just MASTERING. Also, I do not master singles, only albums that are already completed or on the verge of being completed – this does not mean 6 months away ;o)
4. You must have a website or links to where I can hear your tracks. This shows me that you’re serious and I can decide if its something I want to pursue.
Due to my busy schedule, I can only take on 2 projects a week, so if I don’t get back to, I preemptively apologize as I book up quickly and it’s first come, first serve. Look forward to hearing from some creative artists and have a great day!

If he's spent all that money on quality outboard gear, he'd be crazy to offer it free. Does he not have a name for himself? If not, then maybe investing in all that gear would be a bad idea.
1: Sounds like a good idea, although what about people who do cover songs that have mechanical licensing and shtuff like that?
2: Makes sense, although he seems to be an *** about it.
3: I like this, although he shouldn't say "close" as well...they SHOULD be mixed and sounding as good as possible before he gets them.
4: He asks for website, yet he lists none?
