I sense a lack of confidence in the ME of choice, if the facility themselves need a "shoot-out".

I'm also wondering about the cohesive focus and quality across an album/project from one ME only as opposed to this model.

Doesn't this also mean that they are cutting their rates down to a third? Smile

This was my first thought. Can't judge the method as I've not heard these results, but I'm fairly skeptical. Seems like more of a marketing ploy than a revolutionary idea.

Perhaps they've gotten fed up with customers doing shoot-outs between mastering companies and are hoping to grab their business this way? Smile

...the three best editions of your audio are selected for polishing...

I have not been "polishing" my already-mastered material.

Am I missing out on something?

Is there a secret special process that I do not know?

Help me out here...

Fascinating. Someone got a professional marketing expert to take a good look at online mastering and come up with something new. I'd guess that the company figures 3 choices would almost always eliminate major revisions, betting that at least one staff M.E. is gonna hit the nail on the head. Or at least confuse the client sufficiently to not ask for a revision! I'll bet that with the company's pay structure, it costs them less and increases their overall productivity to pay 3 M.E.'s to do one pass than the standard 1st pass and then revisions.

Terry, the polishing is when you take a little bit of Rain-X and buff that ref. You don't do that?

I thought it was a myth myself, but I recently used Pledge (Pledge Protection Plus, specifically) on my Harley and subsequently on my car.  

Wow.   Shocked

Better than showroom in around 3 minutes.

This?  I have no idea.

If anyone bites on this service, especially at $99. per track, they haven't begun to do their due diligence!

No engineer credits, no gear list or studio pics. While these items don't tell the whole story, they will tell you most of it!
