Our $50 per-song flat rate for digital release formats includes great sounding precision mastering custom tailored for your project, basic heads/tails editing and sequencing, and 24 bit HD WAV files for streaming/download. Also included in the flat rate are a few sets of free mastering revisions (if needed) so that everything is exactly the way you want it and a comprehensive follow through to make sure your release goes smoothly.
Projects with the same source mixes to be released on both digital and vinyl formats cost an additional $10 per song which includes 24 bit 96KHz Side A/B cutting masters with cue sheets. Special attention is given while preparing the cutting masters to address any potential pressing or playback problems in order to create the best sounding vinyl possible. We can prepare vinyl pre-masters for traditional lacquer pressing or DMM. If you are doing vinyl only with no digital streaming masters, the $50 per song rate applies. Send us a test pressing and we will review it at no charge to make sure it plays back correctly and sounds the way it's supposed to.
A 16 bit DDP master for CD replication can be created for $25 which includes Red Book compliant track ID spacing, CD-text encoding and a license-free DDP player to check your master.
All other refs and production master parts are included in the basic rate.
DDP masters for projects mastered elsewhere can be prepared for $50.
Complimentary mix evaluations are available to all clients who have a mastering session scheduled with us.
We can process instrumental mixes or radio edits with the same settings as the album versions for $5 per alternate mix when they are submitted at the same time as the original mixes. Sending them at a later date is $10 per mix due to added recall time.
Mastering a new mix for a song we've previously mastered is $10 - $50 depending on how much adjustment and time is required.
Editing (that is more involved than head/tail edits and fades) and audio restoration (pop removal, sonic repair and noise reduction) is billed at $60/hr. in 15 minute increments.
Please inquire for rates on mastering from stems and other services.
Additional charges may be added for the following: Reprocessing revised mixes that require adjusting the mastering or sequencing, Reprinting and/or re-sending master parts at a later date after the master has been delivered and approved, 20% added for rush jobs that require expedited delivery without advanced notice.
