Can anyone recommend a mastering studio and cd replication service?

[Fougerousse]

I am almost finished making my first album at home, so now I am beginning to think about where to send it for mastering. I also like the idea of using a replication service that offers a complete package of pro looking packaging and cover. Does anyone have any recommendations about who to go to for mastering and replication?

if you wanna possibly save some money, you could ask if someone around here wants to master it for free? You might get usable results. I dunno. Just a suggestion. I just don't think an amateur mixed cd will sound that much different if it is pro mastered.

How about Tom at The Mastering House? (he hangs out here periodically...)

Brad Blackwood at Euphonic Masters. http://www.euphonicmasters.com/

This would be for the mastering side of your question. I would ask Brad where does he like duplicating at? I am leary of the all in one shops.

If your looking for local places there is Christian Barth at American Sound Mastering and Mischa Janisch from http://www.sunshinemusic.at/ for starters. I don't know to many all in one houses where I recommend a particular engineer.

Non locals... Same sorta question asked in this thread.

Rodney Mills is here in ATL. He's mastered a couple of records from some friends of mine and artists like Lynyrd Skynyrd, Pearl Jam, etc.. but works with the locals at a great rate. No idea if he does mass duplication:
