Not being you, I feel like it's actually beneficial to direct clients to a "known quantity" ME so they can get a Seal of Approval. We then used a guy in London who nailed it. What a waste of money that was, I did better ITB on the roughs. Unattended, they could have only been done in a hurry or by an intern. The Masters we received from a so called top ME that were as flat as pancakes. Can anyone put my mind at ease?Not in my experience I'm afraid. Obviously I hope it's not true, and I don't want to spread bad rumors if it isn't, but it makes me a little reluctant to trust them. Is there any truth to this? I really want to use them because their engineers have mastered some of my favorite records, but that would be a pretty shady business practice. However, an engineer at a recording studio I did a session at mentioned that they stay away from Sterling because, "Unless you pay extra for the attended session, you don't actually know who will be doing it." Implying that they might be palming off tracks to trainees/interns or something without telling the client, even if you're paying a premium for one of their extremely respected, award-winning engineers. I've been thinking I'll have Sterling Sound do it.
