Mastering
-
Stereo master, single
One song. Includes all delivery formats and one alternate version; more alternates quoted per song.
[set your rate] -
EP, 3 to 6 tracks, per track
Sequenced, gapped, and level-matched as one record. DDP included.
[set your rate] -
Album, 7 tracks and up, per track
Same as the EP terms with a per-track break for the longer sit.
[set your rate] -
Stem master, per track
Three to eight stems. Quoted after we hear a rough; stems that arrive out of phase go back with notes, not a bill.
from [set your rate] -
Vinyl premaster, per side
Side-aware master plus cut sheet. If we also mastered the digital release, this is an add-on rate, not a second project.
from [set your rate] -
Attended session, half day
You in the room or on the board feed. Covers up to [set your count] songs of attended work.
[set your rate] -
Rush, 48-hour turnaround
When the deadline is real. Added to the project rate; confirmed only if the slot genuinely exists.
+[set your rate]
Every engagement gets the rate, the slot, and the revision terms in one email before any files are due. If the quote and the record don't match, we say so on that first email, not on the invoice.
What the rate buys
- Revisions
- [set your policy] revision passes included per song. Recall notes at timestamps get the fastest turnarounds.
- Digital delivery
- 24-bit WAV at the session rate plus dithered 16/44.1, named per destination. Loudness-targeted versions on request, delivered alongside, never instead.
- Duplication
- DDP image with full PQ sheet, ISRCs, and CD-Text embedded when you supply them.
- Vinyl
- Side-sequenced premaster WAVs with a cut sheet the plant can read. We'll flag side lengths that will fight the lathe before you press.
- Turnaround
- [set your turnaround] standard for singles, [set your turnaround] for records, counted from files-and-notes-in. Rush terms above.
- Payment
- [set your terms]. No files are held hostage: masters ship on delivery, invoices are due when they say they are.
- Your masters
- Session recalls kept for [set your period]. The masters are yours; we keep no rights and take no points.
