Hi all,
I have recently started producing beats and I'm really enjoying it. I love just kicking back and making a real nice beat. People are liking them so I thought I'll start selling them online (My own website with an embedded player). Now I'm not sure if I should be mastering my beats before I sell them? I would have thought no, because surely that should be done at the end of a track with vocals on? But I have been talking with some other beat makers online (some pretty big and have sold beats to huge artists) and they say that they master their beats before they sell (use maximus, l1 ultramaximser etc). So my question is, what is the correct/professional/preferred way? And also, what DB should I have all my beats hitting at?
Thanks!
