Press Release Summary = Increased internet speeds are flipping the music world on its head. Now any musician (anywhere in the world) has access to top music mastering engineers needed to give their music the competitive \"edge\" to stand-out. This has brought many benefits, as well as one key negative effect.
Press Release Body = Greensboro, North Carolina - June 13, 2006 - A popular new trend is occurring within the music industry. Higher internet speeds to transfer music over the web and wider internet access is sending the music production industry online.
The biggest growth has occurred with music mastering (the final music optimization step and last chance to get it right).
Hans Klein, owner of the mastering blog http://www.MasteringCentral.com, reports, \"Less than 3 years ago, online mastering studios were practically non-existent. Today, there are easily hundreds. What\'s more, growth shows no signs of slowing down. These engineers range from amateurs who do it in their spare time on personal computers to some of the most renowned and famous people in the business.\"
The growth of online mastering studios has largely been fueled by the benefits they offer the engineers. They are no longer rushed to get the job done, communication is much quicker, and they are able to reach a world market.
For the artist, he or she is able to better communicate his or her vision of the album and get immediate feedback because the engineer is more accessible.
However, the problem for the artists is that their are many amateurs claiming to be mastering experts. They often charge only a few bucks a track and then give back a product that\'s often no better or even worse than the original!
When looking for an engineer, there are 5 important characteristics an artist should look for:
1. Dedication - The engineer should be focused to not giving-up on the track, until he or she gets it right.
2. Skilled ears - Since mastering is the final chance to get it right, being able to hear overlooked mistakes is vital.
3. A wide range of experience - Every genre and track has its own unique problems that take years of experience and engineers must know exactly how to identify and fix the problems.
4. Responsiveness - There \'s nothing worse than an engineer who transforms the tracks in their vision of what it should be, instead of the artists\'.
5. The right equipment - A professional studio has thousands of dollars worth of equipment to get full flexibility in making adjustments to bring-out the tracks\' best.
