Who cuts the mustard to be considered a professional, "real" mastering engineer? Simple tip to identify a mastering engineer and prevent being taken for a ride.

This is really more relevant to English speaking people in native English speaking countries. The intention is to help clueless artists and producers make a more informed decision as to who to hire.

Most effective results in official English speaking countries (read disclaimer below).

This simple check is just a quick vetting process to determine whether a person has at one point in his life mastered a commercial music record.

If you're willing to pay upwards of $70 per song, you need to make sure you are getting value for your money, and NOT paying to finance someone's delusional convictions.

These are only EV's opinions, not rules cast on stone.
This vetting tip may not work on audio engineers belonging to non-native English speaking countries.
You are responsible for your own career decisions and the same principle applies if you are an aspiring audio engineer, a hobbyist or music enthusiast.
In most cases, an "amateur" mastering engineer often renders better mastering results than any artificial intelligence mastering algorithm.
As always, experiment with these options and do due diligence.
