Hi
I am a songwriter/composer/arranger. This is what I love doing, I make extensive use of music technology in order to do this and I am adept at doing so. However I find mixing and mastering a real chore, to the point where it really kills my ability to produce a finished track (this is in the context of holding down a full time job) and my desire to go into my home studio.
I have decided to start to use other people to mix and master my songs. In my situation it is worth paying other people rather than devoting time and expense into learning this art (which i really do not want to do). I also think having another person's perspective on my track is incredibly helpful. I am also very keen to start finishing and releasing my music.
What are people's experiences of using other people to mix and master their songs? How much should I expect to pay? Has anybody else felt the way I do and what did you do about it?
Thanks in advance,
Paul
