Mastering Rates - Attended Sessions
We try to avoid mastering 'on clock' as often as we can and therefore try to offer fixed prices for both eMastering and attended Sessions. To get an Idea - here are the current rates our fixed price offers are based upon for attended Sessions:
Please drop us an email to get a quote for a fixed price for an attended session, prices for Emastering can be found here.
Prices per 1.6.2009:
| Mastering | Price |
|---|---|
| Trial Master | Yes, it’s absolutely free! 1 track of max. 2 minutes. Sorry, first time customers only! |
| Audio Mastering |
EUR 120,- per hour |
| Basic Master | EUR 60,– PMCD or DDP including fades, sequencing, PQ and codes. QC Listening is not included. |
| QC Listening |
EUR 2,- for each minute of playing time |
| REF CD | EUR 10,- |
Example
Mastering of an Album containing of 12 Tracks, 1 DDP Master (including QC Listening) and 2 REF CD's usually costs somewhere between 1.000,- EUR and 1.200,- EUR (excluding 20% VAT). Acoustic Jazz and Live Albums are usually mastered faster, since the Audio is much more consistent and can therefore be offered at a lower price...
Stem Mastering
We currently do not offer fixed prices for Stem Mastering, since the ammount of time needed varies quite a bit. Stem Mastering is always billed 'on clock'. In any case, we encourage you to use our Mix-Tuning Service for any Mixing duties since we believe Mastering is not the right time to get these things done.
Revisions
Revisions and touch-up's to the Master are usually free of charge UNLESS a new Mix is supplied, which is billed as a seperate (new) Track.
