"...outsourcing your music to a complete stranger somewhere across the globe is mostly dependent on trust. It is also a big commitment. Good mastering engineers, like Ivan, will treat your music like their own and can give you constructive feedback and offer you help on fixing and improving it. They don’t try to rip you off but they genuinely care about your music. Basically, to successfully work internationally, you need to find somebody who loves music more than money and you are sorted."

However, a new industry trend might just put an end to the distortion of true, valuable music.
