GENERAL PRICING
Have you first read all of Mastering
Preperation Guidelines?
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:
A) Complete mastering job
1) Per song 0-5:00 minutes: $75.00*
*Great for one or two songs at most. Look at our
other packages for better value when
dealing with lengthier projects.
2) Anything from 6-15 minutes long: $100.00
3) Anything from 16-20 minutes long: $200.00
4) Anything from 21-39 minutes long: $300.00
5) Anything from 40-59 minutes long: $400.00
6) Anything from 60-80 minutes long: $500.00
B) Individual tasks. (99% of clients
want full mastering and don't want to muck about with "individual"
tasks....BUT, for those few who need something specific. Here you go.
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
Fees are:
1) Per song 0-5:00 minutes: $25.00*
*Great for one or two songs at most. Look at our
other packages for better value when
dealing with lengthier projects.
2) Anything from 6-15 minutes long: $35.00
3) Anything from 16-20 minutes long: $50.00
4) Anything from 21-39 minutes long: $85.00
5) Anything from 40-59 minutes long: $110.00
6) Anything from 60-80 minutes long: $150.00
Please note: these prices are PER service. For
example: an EQ job for a 20 minute project would be $50.00.
An EQ job along with a Compression/Limiting job would be $100.00.
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 Contact Us .
C) Changing, altering, or any other changes to be made AFTER the final proof copy has been sent.
Your satisfaction, is of paramount importance. So after we sent out a final proof transfer, we will await your approval. If it passses, we will prepare the FINAL official master for you to download. 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 $100.00 fee. Please remember, this is extremely time consuming and detailed work.
D) Turnaround time.
With time spent on your master (no rush jobs) as
well as the proofing, and the possibility of alterations…we are
realistically looking at a 1-2 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: $100.00
E) Mastering agreement.
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 .
F) Payment checkout. PAYPAL
Our new checkout button will installed soon...I mean REALL soon! It will make the checkout process ALOT easier!
PLEASE NOTE; THAT BY CLICKING THE ABOVE LINK, YOU ARE HEREBY STATING THAT YOU HAVE READ AND ACCEPTED ALL OF THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE PURCHASE AGREEMENT.
Payment must be made in full before
we commence on your project.
Final note: We ABSOLUTELY, DO NOT have any hidden fees that will creep up on you. Our prices are clearly listed, with the exception of personalized custom quotes (for obvious reasons). Whatever we both agree on, is what you pay. No ugly surprises, end of story!
We have also chosen to use Paypal as our preferred method of travel when it comes to payment, since we do not EVER have direct access to your financial information, and the fact that you have Paypal's policies which are VERY customer friendly....In plain words, you cannot just set up a fly by night gaff in which you simply take the customers money and vanish. It doesn't work that way. Paypal has very good measures in place that protect YOU! We couldn't be hapier with them.
