Have you first read all of "guidelines for mastering
services"?
If not, please go back and do so now, as this link will make much more sense to you after
reading that. We'll take a coffee break while you read.
Ok, now we're ready. Here are some basic pricing templates:
1) Per song 0-5:00 minutes: $150.00*
*Great for one or two songs at most. Look at our other packages for better value when
dealing with lengthier projects.
2) Anything from 16-20 minutes long: $400.00
3) Anything from 21-39 minutes long: $600.00
4) Anything from 40-59 minutes long: $800.00
5) Anything from 60-80 minutes long: $1000.00
Although your project would be better suited to a full blown
mastering session from top to bottom, from a quality/continuity
standpoint (as well as value!), there are still some, who have
very specialized needs, and require only one or two of our procedures.
For those, we offer any of our individual tasks, either one at
a time, or in any combination. For any special requests, please
contact us with your specific needs to obtain a personal price
quote. Here's the basic listing:
1) Equalization
2) Compression/Limiting
3) Noise control…Gating/Expanding
4) Stereo image adjustment/manipulation
5) General assembly…track order, fade ins and outs, and crossfades
6) Final assembly…pq codes, subtexts, track indexing
1) Per song 0-5:00 minutes: $50.00*
*Great for one or two songs at most. Look at our other packages for better value when
dealing with lengthier projects.
2) Anything from 16-20 minutes long: $100.00
3) Anything from 21-39 minutes long: $175.00
4) Anything from 40-59 minutes long: $225.00
5) Anything from 60-80 minutes long: $300.00
Please note: these prices are PER service. For example: an EQ job
for a 20 minute project would be $100.00. An EQ job along with a
Compression/Limiting job would be $200.00.
Our advice is, that anything exceeding one or two tasks becomes costly, and presents less of a value than a complete mastering procedure. In other words, a la'carte can be much more expensive than a full meal. Again, these individual services are for specific needs, where only one or two things are required.
Anything you don't see, please call or e-mail.
Your satisfaction, is of paramount importance. So after we sent out a final proof cd, we will await your approval. If it passses, we will prepare the FINAL official master to send to you. If, however, it does not meet your approval, we will affect any changes you request at no charge. Upon approval, we will initiate the final steps. Any more revising after that will be a $200.00 fee. Please remember, this is extremely time consuming and detailed work.
$10.00 each additional official copy (utilizing Apogee gold cd)
With time spent on your master (no rush jobs) as well as the
proofs sent out, and the possibility of alterations…we are
realistically looking at a 3-4 week window. Please allow time
for this. With all the time spent on your recording, we don't
want to fumble the ball at the last step!
If you absolutely have to have a quick turnaround, let us know what you have in mind, and we will have to push your project ahead of the line to accommodate you, as well as work overtime. There is a fee for this. Remember we are pushing someone else back.
Quick turnaround priority fee: $200.00
We will send you our mastering agreement via e-mail and hard
copy, which details our standing terms. An order sheet will be
filled out and sent, once, both you and us, have agreed to all
of the details concerning the services you require. An invoice
will also be sent via e-mail and hard copy, once payment is received
.
