I didn't ask if you paid for the samples; I asked if you paid for the one you selected
and you still did not answer whether the samples were sections or the whole track - big difference in terms of time and effort
I am sorry, I thought you have already checked the link I posted because the thread is not about that service. It is about the best online mastering service
So, for me it is
MONRAD PRODUCTIONS
