Hi, I'm inviting you to visit www.noisemastering.com V 3.0 where you can find FREE TUTORIALS for musicians, aspiring producers and musicians who have to be their own engineers and producers.

As always, our already very respected analogue-tube mastering services, now introducing our 3 secret and exclusive processes: one for depth and space (without using reverbs or delays), one to give a musical tonal response and one more to achieve loudness without squashing your sound; everything with transparent or vintage feel.

We also have mix, mix enhancement, pre production, live recording and more services.

This is just the beginning, there is much more to come and the most important thing is to bring sound quality to every artist regardless of their budget.

We'll be waiting for you,

Noise Mastering Studio®

Hey guys! After a year and a half we are back charging full steam ahead with the release of our latest album "Songs For The Road Towards The End Of The World" this past May 31, 2009. Unlike our two previous releases this was a long duration album (LP) featuring 12 all created by Pete Drown. Mike Mellow participated in the album by co-producing it and creating the art. The first single is called "Ciento Once Grados" (111 Degrees) and we have a brief video/slideshow teaser for it on our page.

We want to invite you to download our free album and share with us your feedback. All you have to do is click on the Cover art either on this message or by visiting our myspace page. There you can also download our previous two EP's if you don't have them already.

So, that being said, I hope you download it, I hope you enjoy it, and I hope you let us know. Thanks again. Micro out...
