BurningDownTheVillager

My band, Burning Down The Villager has just released our first full length album "In Time", and we are searching for reviewers to see what people think of our sound, and how we can better ourselves musically. Does anybody have any good recommendations on who we could send our material to for review? Burning Down The Villager - Facebook Listen to "In Time" Buy "In Time"

As a recording engineer, I always tell my client the importance of having a professional master their project when I finish mixing. I think having another set of ears on a recording project never hurts. It allows someone to hear something you may have missed. Another thing that I have found, is a lot of artists think that mastering is a process that is included in mixing, and they don't budget for the extra service. In this case, I typically reach for a good parametric eq, a multiband compressor, and a limiter. With those three tools, you can normally achieve a decent "master" without breaking the bank going to a professional, but if you've got the funds... always go with the pros.

I know of quite a few bands who use corporate sponsors to help fund their tours. Something as easy as wearing a brands shirt on stage will get you some extra income so you won't have to sleep in your car on the road... I'm also looking into this, so if you find anything... please share!
