While the effects of the economy certainly tugged at the bottom line here at MASSIVE Mastering, the year was down only very slightly. A slow 3rd quarter was eclipsed by a record breaking (no pun intended) 4th quarter. Here’s to all of you who made it happen.

During the slight downturn in the 3rd quarter, we were trying to come up with a modified pricing strategy. Then in the freakishly busy 4th quarter, we decided to put that on hold. Now, as we enter 2010 - our 15th anniversary - as busy as it is at the moment, we decided to turn the “SPECIAL” light on anyway.

For a limited time - Might be a month, might be three, might be the whole year - we’ve reduced and “capped” the rates for longer projects.

Q. Wait a minute - it’s busy and you’re having a special? What’s up with that?

A. We’re busy and we want to stay that way. We’ve always been competitive and we’re going to stay that way. The rates here at MASSIVE have always been on the low end of any similarly equipped facility. But ‘for a limited time’ they’re going even lower.

I’ve been working with Encodable Industries on the new OFMS -- Finally decided on their stock user database application and a modified (thanks, Anthony for dealing with my pickiness) version of their amazing file management system. Long-time clients will love this new system I’m sure - Automatic notification on upload, automatic notification to you when *I* upload, automatic ZIP download, multi-file upload with wonderful progress metering. A simple, ‘no-frills’ interface with a lot of sophisticated horsepower under the hood.

Well, I’m pretty excited about it... Read More...

Not much to say - You’re looking at it. I hope it’s worth all the trouble it was to bring it over into this new ‘template’ and server. For the new clients & readers, I hope you like it and find it easier to navigate. For the long-timers, I’m still working on getting some of the more popular features & photo albums moved over.

Regular clients will notice a new & improved OFMS (Online File Management System)... I’m working with the developer at Encodable to modify it into a one-of-a-kind system with some cool semi-automated features. The next couple weeks are going to be huge behind the scenes. Personally, I’m just looking forward to getting a day off.

Hopefully before 2010. Read More...
