Or both 
We can have the “Renoise Voice™” politely ask you to register Renoise, perhaps with a theme song in the background, and put the user through a little quiz 
The quiz could be a part of the online help system for registered users too, only they get to choose when to use it…
Does anyone have any testimonials to share?
I don’t like being the guinea pig 
Foreign Presence,
if you have a question, shoot:)

I have no specific questions, I’m just after examples or testimonials of what you can do. If I send you a 40 second clip would you be willing to demonstrate? (if so and everything’s good then I’ll probably have a whole album or EP’s worth to send over the next few months)
Dear Renoise Community,
we now also accept credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express).

Dear Bantai,
Of course you can apply effects on separate tracks, we just mean dont apply effects on the final mixdown for getting the best results from the mastering process.

“Uhm, I dunno. Won’t you kinda steal my music if it’s really REALLY good? Is there some disclaimer of some sort that protects me against this?”
Dunno If I’m the first to say this… this offer seems very good to me… If I only had some finsihed songs I would send 'em to you straight away,… has anyone tried xarc yet?
Dear Man,
It is the same as with every mastering house or label your send your demo to. I can only tell you that we never would steal any song from any of our customers. Just think about the fact that this would destroy our company and our name if such a thing would get public. If you want be absolutely sure that noone will steal your song (when sending demos or whatever) you have to go to a notary and let him certify it. Another much cheaper but also working way is sending a package with your song and a proof of arrival to your own address and never open it. Then send out your demos to the labels and if someone steals your song, you have a absolutely proof that it was yours. I hope i could answer your question a bit.
Phonkey, we have done some mastering for Foreignpresence (a user in this board), maybe you ask him about us.

Ok thanks Xarc, that answers it just right.
I’ve read on the net somewhere though that the “send yourself a copy of your demo”-thing doesn’t hold up in court, although it actually should.
One thing : you could add a “Satisfied Customers” link to your page, so people don’t get the idea they’ll be the first to try you guys.
I think you should register (and pay for) your own domain-name. Not use a free cjb.net. You’ll attract more people this way, since you’ll have a more professional “look”.
oooh… and of course you SHOULD pay for your webhost/webspace and don’t use geocities (=popups and stuff).
Anyway, I wish you good luck.
Hi Tobias,
thanks for the tips, but all that is already on its way, the current site is only temporary. I hope website and domain will run latest at end of this month.

I have tried Xarc. I sent them one song (100% renoise output, no VSTi’s used) and they sent me back a master within a couple days. I tried it in compo against several commercial CD’s (as well as some “standard enhancement presets” found in products like Ozone Isotope) on a $4000 Hi-Fi system and the result was very impressive. On top of that they offered all kinds of suggestions concerning my mix in order to get the final product just perfect. Basically they removed any doubts I had about the value of getting tracks professionally mastered. I am now getting an EP done with them.
Dear Renoise Community,
we have a short before / after demo online now in WAV format to demonstrate what we can do for your sound. You can get it from the mainpage of our site under:

This idea seems interesting and would be the kind of stuff I was waiting for…
However, how to trust a site on which “the Gator Corporation” pops up ? 
Hello,
the download links are working now, please Rightclick and choose “Save As” and it will work. Sorry about the page and the popups, a new page with .com domain will follow very shortly, the current site is only temp. Altough i wanna say that you shouldnt judge the sound by our website please
