This is my first CD and I'm having to do it on half of a rotten shoestring.
That's a little bit hit or miss, tho if you're on a budget that may be the limiting factor. Normally, I'd look for someone who has done some similar music. But if you're just asking for basics, you don't want them to EQ it and improve it, just set levels and lay out the CD, I'd just call around anyone you see advertising and talk to them, see what they'll do and for how much. If you're having it made into a CD, many of the CD houses have in-house mastering (diskmakers, etc.) Musician's Friend used to do some sort of cheap basic mastering.
