A NOTE ON PRICING:
I firmly believe in being as transparent as possible, which is why I list the majority of my fees upfront, right here on the website. Obviously, every project is unique, and I offer discounts for EP/album/bulk mixing and mastering, so please feel free to contact me for a quote, even if you’re just shopping around. You’ll get no car salesman pressure from me.
Mixing & Mastering
Enhance your songs and finalize your release for distribution with high-end mixing hardware and state-of-the-art plugins. Full hybrid mixing and mastering for songs up to 60 tracks and 8 minutes in length typically costs $500 USD for a single, with a discount applied for multiple songs bundled together, like an EP or album. This also includes vocal tuning, drum replacement, backing vocal time alignment, guitar re-amping, audio clean-up, and noise reduction as needed. This includes up to 3 mix revisions.
Mastering
Finalize your mixes for distribution with professional mastering, corrective EQ, tone shaping, and loudness matching. Hybrid stereo mastering typically costs $150 USD for a single, and stem mastering up to 6 stems typically costs $250 USD for a single, with a discount applied for multiple songs bundled together. A combination of high-end mastering hardware and plugins are used. Tape transfer of your masters can be included, at an additional fee, if desired. This includes up to 2 mastering revisions.
Quick Mastering
Quick mastering is a cheaper option for bands and artists on a budget, who want their songs ready for distribution in a shorter timeframe. This includes stereo mastering (no stems), corrective EQ, tone shaping, rebalancing, and loudness matching using only plugins. Quick mastering costs $50 USD per song, with a discount applied for multiple songs bundled together. This service typically has a 48-hour turnaround (or sooner). Payment is up front, and revisions are not included.
