I am not satisfied with the results. It’s not loud like commercial masters & its lacking certain dynamic / tonality potential.
I am looking to hire a professional mastering engineer with an amazing analog mastering chain to master 13 records total for my album. Masters that can compete with the Commercial Audio World.
If this is something you’re experienced in and can help me out.
I am willing to get the ball rolling after we agree on a price.
Thank you Gear Slutz.

The digital chain has basically nothing to do with the results. Almost all of the top mastering engineers in the world are working in the box with plug ins only.
Choose your engineer based on the quality of their taste, output and communication -
not the gear they use.
Give me Randy Merrill with 3 plug ins over almost anyone else with all of the analog gear in the world.
For context I work in a studio with an incredible custom analog chain, and master digitally almost all of the time.
