AUDIO MASTERING - PRICING

We understand the personal needs of each client can be truly diverse, so individual estimates can be given. We have a staff of mastering engineers from which you can choose based upon your needs, and be fully confident you'll be getting professional service. Call us. We state our rates here to give you an idea of what it could cost. The following is a brief guideline of our rates and fees:

Audio Mastering Rate
$100-140/hr (depending upon engineer choice). We estimate approximately 1 hour of studio time for every 10 minutes of program material, then add an extra hour for full lengths or a half hour for an EP. For example, a 40 minute CD usually takes 5 hours to complete. This is just an estimate. Please call or email our office for more specific details.

CD-R PMCD Master
Option 1 - w/PQ Subcode & disc error & audio verification - $125.00 each (required for us to send directly to a pressing plant without client checking).
Option 2 - w/disc error verification - $65.00 each.
Option 3 - CDR Mstr/refs w/client check - $2.00 each during Studio Time.
Option 4 - DDP Image w/ref check disc - $165
(we can explain these options in detail with you and help you decide which one or combination may be right for you).

Initial Session Backup Fee - $25.00/project (mandatory)

(some additional session options, call us with special concerns)
DeNoising/DeClicking - Usually can be done quickly (5-15mins/song) during the session. However Vinyl transfers and more indepth DeNoising can take more time.
Vinyl Splits Masters - Masters created from CD Mastering session usually only require an additional 15 to 30 minutes during the session. We can also provide contacts to Lacquers cutting facilities that we feel do fantastic cutting.
Enhanced CD Multimedia Programing - Less than you think! Usually $170-500.
