Free Mastering for OCREMIXers!

[Johnny Hemberger]

Hey everybody. I've been a fan of OCremix for a long time and finally registered. There is something about hearing all the old stuff we've played for hours in a different way. I am particularly a fan of Street Fighter and it blew my mind to find Blood on the Asphalt.

Anyways, back to the main point.

I am a professional audio engineer with my focus being on mastering (mastering has been making me the most money let's just say).

Since I love OCremix.org so much, and all of its members and submitters, I hereby officially donate my mastering services, for free, to future OC submissions.

I will however accept any donations through paypal. Mastering is quite an involved process and takes a considerable amount of time to do correctly, so any donations would be greatly appreciated.

If any of you DJs have separate projects, my rate is $200/album (cd's worth of music). A very fair price. I'm trying not to use the word cheap.

contact me at johnnyhemberger@yahoo.com

my paypal info is John Hemberger with the same johnnyhemberger@yahoo.com email.

Thanks for reading and I look forward to helping out!

Welcome to OCR! If you wouldn't mind, I've got this song I've been working on, and I'd like you to give mastering it a shot.

Hit me up with a PM to tell me what I need to give you, I've been using REAPER to work on it, but I don't know if that matters or not. Thanks!

Hey bud. I think it sounds pretty cool. Reminds me of Bleach. Ideally, when sending something for mastering, you want to make sure that the highest peak in the song doesn't go past -3db. Just adjust the master fader before exporting so that nothing peaks past -3db.

This way the mastering engineer has headroom to work with.

I'll work on your track and post a link where you can download what I've done.

Hi Johnny! Great to have you here. I have a lot of trouble with the production end of the remixing here, so I'm sure you'll be hearing from me

Awesome, thanks for doing that! It sounds awesome. I'll keep the -3db thing in mind next time too, I didn't know about that.

Are you still doing this? If so, I've got a reworked version I'd like you to polish up if you don't mind. I don't know where to start when it comes to mastering, so, yeah. I'll PM you the link. Thanks!

Hell, now that I've learned to make teh musicks, mastering might be the only thing standing in my way. Maybe I should try to whip up one of my old project ideas and drop you a line.

We'll see if I have time.
