Why is it usually considered that a mastering engineer is needed because the engineer, musicians, etc are "too close" to the music to be objective, when infact they are the ones that probably know "best" how they want it to sound?
In the total scope of many projects, why would you want to save $1000 on a mastering job, by using an "online" service, if you're spending 25 times that amount (or more) on the project for recording and mixing and even duplication, advertising...?...versus just trying to get a place like "Gateway", etc to do the job?
Are "in house" mastering engineers OK if they mixed or tracked some of your project too (see question #1)?
How frequently would the mastering engineer play the "finals" on other systems besides their studio.... or is that necessary if they "know" their speakers and room?
Has there ever been a mastering studio with a reverb chamber....or any other "weirdo" scenarios like re-amping... for "spatial fx" ?
Why would a client want to go to a mastering session unless they are intimate with the speakers and room?... are there any advantages... IOW, would the mastering engineer ever ask questions, or just do their job?
