Hi everyone, can it get better! I am so pleased to announce Joe Lambert from http://www.classics…"]Classic Sound[/]="http://www.classics…"]Classic Sound[/], our newest addition to the already impressive list of moderators on RO.

can anyone recommend a mastering engineer that specializes in giving digital recordings analog depth. The big mastering facility in my area is trying to recommend me not to have my recording mastered to tape as it will just add hiss, so basically i said forget this guy cause he obviously doesn't understand what i'm going for. any recommendations?
