How did you hook up with Andy Jackson ?
I have never had any of my homegrown tracks 'mastered' before. I have tried many mix engineers but they never quite came up with the goods (or at least what I expected it to be). That could be because of a basic deficiency in the source material (which I suspect is the case) or because they hear it a different way to the way I want it to sound. It's very easy to criticise, but everyone hears a piece of music in their own way. So I 'mixed' (and I use this term very loosely) my own tracks until I thought they might be ready for someone to master (by the way I have only done one to date - the one on the 'home' page). So I approached Andy after looking at Floyd's various sites and tribute sites. He runs a company called Tube Mastering and although he does not say much, what he does say makes sense. He is extremely affordable and professional in his conduct. Look, the guy is a wizard. He knows what to do. It's that simple. I have also used a bass player, incidentally on the same track, Dave Sturt, who is recommended by him. Andy can probably pick a thousand holes in what I have done to date but that's OK. That's how you learn. It's just a fascinating journey......Sales potential - zero. But it's a hell of a lot of fun doing it.
