Unfortunately I think if you spend less than $300 to $500 on an album
it probably won't be worth it. Like chthonic streams mentioned $150/
hr is pretty typical. It's probably only worth it if all the other
pieces are in place - a label or distributor, promotion, etc. If you
have no money, just do some overall leveling and light compression
and leave it at that.
I use the Boiler Room in Chicago (brmastering.com) - I've worked with
the engineer for several years and he does an amazing job of getting
my computer-generated music 'out of the box'
I've also hear good stuff from people in Chicago about Mastermind
Productions (
http://www.mastermindproductions.net/mastering.htm) -
he's in Milwaukee and Casino vs. Japan and the Wobblyhead stuff gets
done there.
