Title: PAWPRINT Mastering deadline DEC 1st
Post by: habiTat on November 27, 2012, 10:52:14 AM
Sorry to put pressure on everyone but our very kind mastering friend really does need your songs in .wav file form, on your Dropbox public folder, by Dec 1st. That's not very long now..

Check out the other post on this for more details..

So far I've only got Dropbox links from a couple of you :(

If we miss the 1st we'll not really be able to take up his kind offer as there's no point only mastering a handful of tracks when the rest will be all at different volumes etc...

We've put loads of effort into this everyone, just one more push to make it the best it can be!

Sorry to pester you guys, I'm not really comfortable bugging you like this, especially as you've put so much effort in, for such a good cause. BUT, in order to take advantage of the generous offer of free mastering by Nooms' mate, I really need you to PM me with your dropbox .wav file links ASAP.

THERE ARE ONLY 3 DAYS LEFT :(

So far I've had three people send them over, thanks for those guys :)

The ones I'm still missing are..

Boydie

Dutchbeat & Binladeda

Flossie

Mihkay

Paul & nooms

Stephaniedema

Man of Simple Pleasures

Andy5544

I know you're all busy people but this really only takes a couple of minutes though and it'll make the whole thing sound so much better.

cheers

No probs, it all happened fairly suddenly anyway. We just want to make the most of his skills before he is unavailable (i think Nooms said he was going away for most of December, hence getting everything ready for the 1st, so it can get done)

Nooms' mastering friend has a bit more time than he thought, so from what I understand, we've got an extra day..

Good luck folks

Ok guys, we're almost there  ;D

Thanks to those of you who've sent your links, excellent stuff.

@Mihkay  No worries, we'll just tag yours on at the end, you wont be included in the mastering though, I hope that's ok..

Now then, for you stragglers, one last little push ;)

@Andy  I've sent you the info on how to get your file uploaded..

@Flossie  I understand that you have had a message from Nooms re. the deadline, good luck getting it done.

@Dutch&Bin + @mosp  How's it going chaps?

Hi everyone,

All song links have been sent for mastering. Just make sure you don't move or delete them from your Dropbox or they won't be retrievable.

Thank you so much everybody for making that final push.. They sound great!

The top three songs will be announced by Dutchbeat sometime after the 10th so if you haven't yet voted, hurry up! ;)

The next time you hear them they'll be live on the Pawprint album!

Thanks again.

Hab..
