Shelly Yakus will master your song for $30 bucks???

PS:  Just in case you don't know, Shelly is a major mastering engineer who probably wouldn't even try to pronounce your song title for $30.

So "Grzylyrg" would cost what?

Shelly Yakus will master your song for $30 bucks???

I'll run it thru Ozone for $21.76.

Yakus is a dude, spacey.

Perhaps Shelly needs the cash to to get an alembic and all the plugs Bapu has?

Maybe they dropped a zero? 

If you have Netflix, go look up the Classic Tracks documentary on the making of Tom Petty's "Damn the Torpedos" album. Shelly Yakus engineered and mixed that album and appears in the film.

Rest assured though....unless he has tools that I don't, it ain't gonna be anything but a little eq and limiting.

As I said, I'll run it through Ozone for $21.76. Five for $100.

If there's any truth to this http://www.forbes.com/profile/shelly-yakus/ olpal, it would make sense. I made more money in 2011 than he did and you probably did too. In 2012, he's probably in worse shape.

I'll tell you this though...and I mean this sincerely...there ain't no way you'll get a REAL master that will be done right with those prices. Seriously....I don't care who the dude is and who he's worked with...there's no way he would spend the time it should take to master something and do it for those prices unless GC is giving him some sort of kickback or whatever.

There's no way I can be this thorough for $30 even if I'm Bob Ludwig. So you better believe you'd be getting a stripped down version of a mastering job. 

-Danny

I got to agree. There is no way you are getting quality for that price. I made way more than Shelly made in 2011. How can someone with those connections and experience make so little?

Holy crap, there has to be more to his income than that. I made more money walking dogs 10 years ago! Hang on though, that's just the salary he draws from Studio One Media. I'm sure he has other things going on, and maybe he does stuff for people that's not through the company. For a better idea of what he makes we'd have to see a tax return.

Oops. Well it was still a fun tune.
 
I wonder if getting Youtube at work would really help me any?

Watched the video... he is the to Promasterhd what William Shatner is to Travelocity ... IMO. He might listen to something now and again if one of the guys really doing the mastering thinks the song has some sort of money potential... IMO. 

I could be wrong but sometimes I'm right. Who knows, it may be a good thing for some and I am sure a LOT of people will use it. The video subtly intimated that you too can be John Lennon or Tom Petty. It seemed to me that it really just made the song in the video louder.... personally, I would pay a little more and use Danny or someone else I think would treat my song with more respect and would even tell me if it is junk, not worth the time to master it. I bet they master EVERYTHING they get. Usually, you get what you pay for. Again, IMO.

McQ,

Why did you post that?

Now we have to spec-a-late on facts rather than imagination.

The thrill is gone baby. Gone for good.
